Would you seek out your soulmate in America?
Posted: 9/15/2009 4:40:53 AM
I think, any trans atlantic relationship is a no no. That is unless, you're fairly well off and have some sort of "back up plan failure". I once got very involved, with a lady who lived in New Zealand. I'll admit, I did have dreams of leaving the UK forever and living my life there with her. I love New Zealand, and it's the one place I have always wanted to go in the world. Then reality kicked in, it was only a dream and I couldn't in reality seeing it working out. I ended it, but we did part on good terms. I do think long distance relationships CAN work, but I think only in the 100's of miles range and not in the 1000's.

Of COURSE it can work over thousands of miles ... but it truly DOES depend upon the two people involved ... may not be for everyone, might not be for you, might BE for you but NOT for her .... but if it all clicks ...

Speaking from experience it worked for me. I'd definitely do it again if the right lady and I clicked. The American people are far far nicer, polite, caring and generous than the misconception that is unfortunately so often portrayed. Their culture is different to European cultures and one has to accept and embrace that in order to make a go of it, if one is not capable of doing that then do think twice.
One tip: get yourself a good American-English Dictionary !

No I could not have such a long distance relationship. When Im in a relatonship I want to have a bit spontaneity and be able to see them several times per week. And I dont want to move that far away.

But saying you should never say never

oooooh I love a man with an accent... any accent... dont matter as long as it's different to my own.
Hmm but no I wouldn't go seeking overseas unless I was prepared, maybe, at some point to emigrate there, and I couldn't do that because I have children here with a father and family that love them.

I wouldn't recommend it if you're thinking of having kids

My ex is an Aussie and she lives with our daughter in Melbourne

And I am back here

It's not ideal

Plus foreigners are all bloody nuts and don't get even simple jokes

I don't believe in 'soulmates' but as a Septic who's stuck in the UK, I'd much prefer to date and hang out with fellow Americans. I find our guys soooo much better-looking and the women soooo much more fun and friendly. I will defo move back home in a couple more years, so I'm keeping my UK relationships light and airy. I'll open my heart when I'm back on my turf.

I can't handle yanks, they are all brainwashed liberals, their political correctness drives me absolutely insane, if you think PC is bad here, go to the states. Also American women are just far too timid and introverted for me.

I'd much rather something close to home, as in England.

I had a long distance relationship once whereby she lived 100 miles away, we only saw each other at weekends, it was great as I had my own life during the week.

Hmmm.... I don't think I would. I'm not certain if a long distance thing can work even in the initial stages of dating. I would only be interested in meeting someone who I could 'see' in the flesh no more than 1 hour away.

I guess it's a lot different though if you meet someone who is American here in the UK and fell in love but they actually lived in The States. I guess then - I would move if he was my soulmate.

Seek out? No. Get involved with an American if the chemistry was right? Probably. Move to the USA? No way!

I know an Italian guy, however, who is hell bent on marrying an American woman (because they are all living in big houses and have money... that much he knows about his future country!) He gets disappointed because after communicating with women for a while they drop him (well, what does he expect? they are not that desperate to get a handsome man who is just a shell!) I tried to explain to him that no American woman would open her house to his mum because it is not part of Western culture to take in one's parents. He makes me laugh with his fantasies, though. Who would have thought that I'd grow up to face a world where men have changed places with women and expect to be the weaker sex? *sigh*

I have no need to travel away from England to find my soulmate, going on past experience. I have found three such women here, and I have no doubt that the next one will also be here.
