| Are you willing to relocate for LOVE? How far would you go for LOVE?
Posted: 4/25/2008 2:37:48 PM | Hey Sienna 
As to the OP, peep my location...I think it's a given I'm up for relocation for the right man. Being that I am a bonified city gyal, a permanent move would mean being close to a pretty diverse locale. I wonder if true love would consider moving for me? *sigh* Yes, as I am the adventurous sort, I would move heaven and Earth to be with him, once he and the relationship proved worth it. Why the heck not? 
But Custis,
Are you at least open to the possibility if your IDEAL came along? I think for all of us this question is a hypothetical and we are just bantering about whether we would consider it for The One. | |

Posted: 4/25/2008 3:21:13 PM | | I was all set to relocate for love. The woman who is a wonderful woman had sme issues, the closer we got the more her walls went up. After 6 or 7 months I just could not see moving 300 miles to increase the tension that had come up. Since we broke up she quickly got pregnant by a man she does not know, is very sad. I have recieved a couple of emails clearly stating how she recognizes some patterns that sabatoged our relationship and more. The point is that until this relationship I would have relocated, now I would have to say no. If someone is thniking about it I suggest spending plenty of time in the new location and discuss those issues that can wait till later. Housing cost, child rearing, bill paying, vacation plans, and the list goes on. I was within 3 months of being final with the move. Had I gone through with it it would have been a $40,000 cost. For love that would be nothing, for heart ache that is a lot to pay. | |

Posted: 4/25/2008 3:36:51 PM | | Absolutely I would. At this point in my life, I am responsible to no one but myself now. I am not "tied" down, nor welded to where I reside, I am a "free bird" as someone previously wrote. My daughter is grown and takes care of herself and very well. | |

Posted: 4/25/2008 4:41:07 PM | | I would start by visiting as I could afford to, to see if I liked the area and to get to know the person. If someone is just a friend or someone more special I think it is good to make time. I travel to visit my girlfriends who have moved away because they are special to me. If a relationship with a man is worth pursuing and has a future, travel. It is fun to see new places and meet new people. Yes...if we were both into each other, I would relocate. I work in a field that has jobs anywhere. Who says that the person of your dreams is in your back yard? | |

Posted: 4/25/2008 4:53:11 PM | First and formost if both parties involved give themselves time to see if it is love, then I believe in the process this would be discussed.
As for myself I would be open to the idea. However, I would have to be with someone that would understand when I got the urge to go see my children and granchildren then I could do so as I would feel it important for him to do the same.
If not possible to go see them then they would ahve to be open to having my family come spend a little time with us. I would love to move to the warm beaches someday or at least have the options of spending time there.
I believe that both parties have the option of moving. The question is which lives in the better place for all concerned. | |

Posted: 4/25/2008 5:03:14 PM | | wow! that was me. Met someone here in my home state that was in the army, he was moving that very week. We connected and kept in contact and started in a long distance relationship from ohio to cali! We saw each other every 1 1/2 to 2 mos. It was great! Then after 13 mos and 2 weeks before I was to move, he dumped me! This relationship that seemed so perfect! He later admited he had found someone else. NOt to mention everything else I found out about him that he was mentally unstable, Lied all the time about anything and everything and a very long history of playing woman and getting them to try to move to another state with him then dumping them! I believe I was number 3. So yes I fell in love and would of moved with him, but now I would never do it again for a long distance relationship. You dont get that bounding like you would with seeing that person everyday. They really cant be trusted. I thought our relationship was perfect! OH well thats my story | |

Posted: 4/25/2008 6:31:45 PM | I would go anywhere, regardless of the distance, for the right one....she says as she's unpacking all her things after schlepping them back home from another city, only weeks shy of having moved there permanently and the impending nuptials...
Man, if there ever was a definition of an optimist, I guess I'm it...

Posted: 4/25/2008 9:00:07 PM | Once my granddaughter is raised and on her own, my dream is to sell everything and be homeless for a while...or maybe forever.
Well not really homeless but I'd like to go live in my camper trailer and get away from the noise and the city.
Or maybe trade in my trailer for an old VW bus and roam the country side for a bit. I'd love to drive all across North America on the old back roads - it's something I've wanted to do since I was a little girl. I remember reading my Stephen King novels and he'd have all his characters travel down ol' route 66 and wishing I could do the same one day...
I'm a loner so I don't mind being alone and I know this is something I could easily do on my own, but having a like mind companion to share in the journey with me would be fun too.
So yeah....I would definitely consider relocating for the right person one day...but the thought of leaving my granddaughter behind is a killer. And I know I only feel this way because she's still young and I can't imagine living without her - even though I'm perfectly fine living without my adult children.
Experience tells me I'll feel differently when she's all grown up and she doesn't need me anymore, but the mind is a funny thing....even though I've been through this twice before, it feels like the first time and I can't imagine ever leaving her behind:(
Sigh. Okay well maybe I'll consider relocating if it's within a day's drive of where she lives. Then ol' grandma can come park
her ol' hippy bus in her granddaughter's driveway whenever she misses her:)

Posted: 4/25/2008 10:09:18 PM | For just love--not a mile. But for marriage to someone I love, of course, and to wherever we decided on. There are a gazillion factors in deciding where. I'd never make the move to live with someone. If you don't have enough faith and trust in one another to make it legal, why bother at all?  | |

Posted: 4/25/2008 11:38:45 PM | Relocating is a big decision that should be made jointly. I wouldnt pick up and move on a whim but for the right guy and the right situation if both parties felt it was for the better I would move. I have moved in the past for the best interest of my family and would do it again if the situation is right.
Why not have an open mind change is good sometimes. Especially if that change could lead to eternal happiness. | |

Posted: 4/27/2008 2:56:34 PM | | I wouldnt relocate unless iv been with her for atleast 2 years. plus why would i wanna relocate for some one that i barely know, or i think i know!... over all, we all know that interent dating is a good sign of desperation , i mean come on, if you dedicate the time and the willingness to find somebody in real life, you will, just spend 1/4 of the time you spend on this website and youll find your half. so once again, relocating, falling in love, or dating is all signs of desperation, and remember this, 80 % of the online daters end up with STD and stuff, so..... good luck, your life and your body, do whatever you want to do to it :) | |

Posted: 4/27/2008 3:28:00 PM | Met here September 2006 , online friendship began with no idea of it being more due to the distance. As we went along, we knew that it was much more than friendship , visits began back and forth which was a 1500 mile distance and a border between two countries, and now.............
July 26, 2008 I will make the United States my new home, and marry my best friend.
One should never put a distance on finding love. So glad that I did not truly, for I would not have met the man of my dreams.
Tap into that adventerous spirit....... | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 4:57:26 PM | I have moved for the fact i was looking for the one and thought I would give it a try moved from california to a small town in Indiana it didnt work out since I found a lot more that wasnt revealed untill a few months of living there. So would I do it again? Hmm interesting question. I would have to say yes. There would have to be 100% open communcation and a willingness on both parties to let there guard down and be upfront with each other. But on the other hand people wanting to meet and date each other should already have that no matter where they live. I would say stay true to yourself and be there person you are and not let anyone try to change you or mold you to there needs or wants.
So anyone looking to move to california and meet a REAL man that has nothing but the best going on in his life? Haha kidding.
Wish the best of luck to you all and keep on . There is someone out there for everyone and it may be a long road to find it but once you do its well worth the travel. | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 5:16:16 PM | I have never even considered relocating for love. I prevent myself from having to make that decision by having a personal policy of only dating and/or becoming involved with men in my local area. I have family, friends, and a support network here that I'm not willing to leave. This is where my roots are. Love doesn't always last, so I'm hesitant to uproot my life for that reason.
Of course the potential dilemma presents itself when a bond of sorts inadvertantly forms between myself and another who lives several hundred miles away. Let's assume he has the same commitment to family, friends, and a support network and is also unwilling to uproot his life. Is it responsible to even allow such a friendship/relationship to start knowing that I feel the way I feel?
Unfortunately, I don't have the all the answers to the OP's questions. I think each of us has to apply our own logic and reason to our unique situations and make the decisions that we feel are best for us. | |
