Hello Igor waving this is what I said about crushing my fairy tale mind lol. Anyways you tell it as it is and what is true for you. I appreciate it. But the part about being desperate and self delusional can also be called just taking a risk and seeing possibilities too right? That’s what blondey tried to point out to me. You will only know till you try. So you say a strong attraction does not merit going the extra mile and you are not going to meet someone even if you had a unique connection? The practicalities would always be first ? Am I right?


Very important: there is a HUGE difference between what blondey was talking about, and the guys I referred to who were delusional. There are real people who really do know what they are doing, who will go to the ends of the earth to be with someone, and it isn't due to delusions. What I was talking about, were people who were deluded even before they struck up a friendship with the overseas person.

It is NOT inherently delusional or wrong to take a chance on someone very far away. What I was getting at, is the other aspect of this. The fact that someone DOES take the risk and travel the distance, doesn't mean for sure that they are brave, or truly dedicated, or even truly in love.

My caution is, take whoever does cross the distance, just as who they really are, once you meet them. They are either who you want, or who you don't want, regardless of how far they came.

Ok I get it now. It’s mindset rather than emotional. We cannot assume anything about a person till we get to know them and spend real time with them. The reasons behind going the distance count in a way but is not a major thing that would and could make things possible for a relationship to last. Thanks Igor smile2

I know this question is for the guys, but had a thought to share. Hope you don’t mind.

It’s possible that a man excited enough to go that far has built an ideal up in his mind that noone could possibly live up to. Even if she’s a wonderful girl, he will be disappointed to have gone so far only to find a human at the end of his rainbow.

It could also go both ways right? It’s nice to see your post here dear. That thought is a real thing and I do agree:thumbsup:

That could happen on bith sides of course. I think that would be the first thing on my mind, not that anyone would want to fly around the globe to meet me. Haha! You young beauties are the ones who have to worry about that.

First key is meeting men who travel. Many men been round the world and not for just a woman. Those guys don't mind traveling to meet a lady just to see if a relationship works.

Oh that’s an idea there. You think men who say they travel would really mean it when they say they will go the extra mile? Toddy, let’s say he is a pilot who travels all over the world , he says he’s really eager to meet personally but it has been a year and never happened? He would always mention it but not say a definite date. He makes it clear that the girl is special but why does he not commit for a meet up just for starters? Why would he be doing it for a year already?

Lots of time on line and tons of phone calls... eventually, you start falling for the person.

Hi Rob ... when you fall does that mean rhyme and reason just falls out of the window then you fly across the globe? bigsmile

I actually fell in love with someone in Singapore that I met on mingle. We were planning our get together. I had made hotel arrangements and bought the expensive round trip ticket. But a medical condition on her side, prevented us from meeting. Must admitt, I still think of her.

to answer p 1st
"falling for" is not in love or even proof of able to reach happily ever after.and those need face to face and a lot of it.

falling hard enough is when the other two try convincing you they already exist
