| How far would you travel for a love affair?
Posted: 6/24/2009 2:08:37 PM | | It seems the current governor of S. Carolina was not trekking in the mountains, but rather was in Argentina, with his girlfriend. I find this curious behavior, because most POF men will not drive more than ten miles to meet a woman from this, or any other, internet dating site. How far will you travel to meet someone from The Pond? How far have you traveled, in the past? Anybody here doing intercontinental fishing? | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 2:21:23 PM | AND, he's married! Yikes, terrible role model!
I would travel anywhere. I've always been surprised when I see that people are looking for their soul mate and they expect them to be within 25 miles of where they live. Hmm, their Soul-Mate will Just Happen to live that close. I'll be glad to find out that my soul-mate actually lives on Earth!
Actually, I wouldn't mind if mine lived in Australia. Just think, we could live on each continent for 1/2 year each and could experience only Springs and Summers. Boy! that would be nice! | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 2:29:49 PM | Probably to the moon if I thought he was the right fellow.. But that is providing he was willing to split the cost of a seat of the shuttle.. I'd say that is going the limit for me cause I do not like to fly..

Posted: 6/24/2009 2:32:30 PM | | Well, I've stopped for a few 'meet and greets' on my way from Minnesota to Texas (no sleep-overs, thank you) but this story is curious on oh, so many levels. Their 'relationship' was mostly in writing (sound familiar?) and he just drops in! Wow! | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 2:37:39 PM | 25 miles is my top distance.
Just turned down a perfectly nice man in Cuba.........nothing wrong with him, but it just wasn't fair to let him think that I would take it seriously.
ps He was a family friend, not someone looking for a sugar mommy. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 3:06:56 PM | I just read the governor resigned.
I find his actions fascinating. It's like his brain went MIA. His responsibilities must have been overwhelming him. He said "I wanted to do something exotic". He must be a/totally smitten and/or b/have a huge self-entitlement thing going on or c/just stopped thinking.
I'm no governor but I know if I didn't show up for work for a few days and didn't tell anyone, I would be sacked. And that's a message to his wife, if ever there was one.
That governor must be having a huge midlife crisis. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 3:08:16 PM | Well since I live in the wildlife refuge nothing is less than a 1/2 hour for me but right now so far I would say an hour. Of course that may change right now I am finishing a degree so more than an hour is kind of impractical but who knows when I am done I will be free........................... | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 3:12:07 PM | I'm not necessarily expecting to find a "soul mate" ... and I DO expect whomever I find to be within 25 miles of me!!! 
or maybe closer ... 
there's ONE MAN I would definitely travel to Arizona for ... but that's not gonna happen soon!!
but for your normal average meet and greet ... the farthest I've driven so far is 60 miles ... he was great ... but not THAT great! too bad tho ...
I'm not lookin to relocate ... I'm sorta planted HERE ... and I assume he'll (whoever "he" is) be planted where he is, too ...
so I'm HOPING for ... oh, I don't know ... across town maybe???

I might consider walking to my front door for the right woman.
Mighty big of ya! LOL
So, any Earth men looking for a soul mate?
I almost went to Greece once to meet up with a guy from England with whom I corresponded and talked with for more than a year. We were going to share a villa on Crete for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, it fell through because of the invasion of 2003, we didn't feel it would be a good time to travel. We kept in touch for a long time after. But, we knew we weren't soul mates but just good friends. Life intervened and we eventually lost touch. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 3:39:32 PM | The wife of the guy next door ........ was caught screwing some guy. (I know first time ever known to happen)
So ..... they split and ..........
Recently people have been freshening up that house. No one was there for about two years.
So ........ I'm thinking - Little Miss Cutie Pie ...... *might move in there YAY ..........
But I can not be too strict and would be ok - if the gal did not live next door ............. umm maybe even like a mile away.
--------------------
The thing is - this is a big area. People can talk like they live in the Kansas City area and be like 80 miles from me.
Also - in a big area like this - there is no doubt 25 or more - perfect matches for me ..... within 50 miles. Too bad I have no idea where to look.
Even worse if I saw a potential match ........ I'd never say a word to her. I would always assume she is "happy at home". She could be single for all I know - ass/uming all nice looking gals (look nice to me) are attached - no doubt is not a great idea but - I do. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 4:01:19 PM | For me there are no hard and fast rules...EXCEPT...I would never travel outside the country for "the man of my dreams". Why? Because I already did that and it was disaster!!! I really fully realized that I could have NOT had that relationship...it actually resulted in marriage and then divorce. If I had not had that relationship, I feel sure I would have met someone else within the United States. So that's a hindsight is greater than forsight situation.
I can tell anyone who is considering a relationship with someone outside their own country that immigration is VERY complicated and also far more expensive that you can imagine. Those complications alone can take a toll on a relationship.
Now how far would I travel within the United States? It can actually vary. My preference would be to meet someone who lived reasonably close so that we could date regularly and see what kind of compatibility we have.
Having said that...I've met someone who lives about half way across the country from me and I feel totally comfortable about it. Why? Because I already feel so strongly compatible, comfortable and bonded with this fellow that the distance doesn't bother me. We've not met in person yet, but, that is in the works and for THIS MAN the distance is not a problem.
Take my word for it...I've met some fellows online/match sites and after getting to know them, I came to the conclusion that driving 10 miles from home to meet them would be too far. So now, my rule is...NEVER outside the country and the distance that I would go to meet or be with a man REALLY depends on the man.
Kind regards to all fishies...

Posted: 6/24/2009 4:03:11 PM | Ok, so the guys are chiming in. One will go all the way to his front door and another will walk a mile. . .in his own shoes. A potential date wanted me to go to Duluth for lunch. (2-3 hr. drive) but changed his mind because he lived 25 minutes away from me. Too far away from him, for a serious relationship.
[ed. note: yes, I hear the laughter about going to Duluth for lunch. Sounds like it came right out of "Fargo", but in the summer, when the glacier recedes a bit, it's quite delightful]
But as the economy has tanked, I've noticed a marked decline in the messages from outside my own state, county, and even this city!
Greece? Yeah, Greece would be good. Hmmmm. I have a lot of skymiles.
Back to the Topic Subject: The Guv must have his share of political groupies. It's not like he works from his basement home office. As a potential GOP presidential candidate who has all his hair and no pot belly, I'm sure he could more easily fool around in his own state. Argentina? Should we give him some sort of credit for going "the extra mile" (pun intended) in the name of love? Before we lock him into the stocks and throw vegetables at him, I mean. I'm really torn about how my reactions to this bizarre soap opera. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 4:26:57 PM | I'm in an LDR with a man from Australia and I live in Florida. He is coming here so we can meet and then I will probably return to Australia with him. If things work out as we hope they will, we plan to be together for the rest of our lives.
When he first wrote to me, I said that I enjoyed having online friends from around the world and I would like to get to know him. He said that if we felt a mutual connection, that he wasn't one to let distance stand in the way of love. He'll be arriving Sept. 30th (only 98 more days!) and will be here for a few weeks. To me, this is truly a sign of a man who is serious about having a relationship. His life's motto is "If it's meant to be, it's up to me" and he doesn't just talk the talk... he walks the walk. He calls me at least twice a day, usually more. We have a great deal in common and very similar life goals.
Granted, not everyone is in a position to be able to afford traveling half way around the world to meet someone you've only talked to on the phone or IM. Nor is everyone willing to uproot their lives and move to another country. We are willing to take on these challenges in order to be with each other. It may not be the right thing for everyone, but it IS the right thing for us.
Actually, I wouldn't mind if mine lived in Australia. Just think, we could live on each continent for 1/2 year each and could experience only Springs and Summers. Boy! that would be nice!
*Starstuff*, that's what we are thinking of doing... alternating between Australia and the States. Have the best of both worlds! What could possibly be better? | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 4:29:53 PM | Okay on a serious note since traveling to the moon is really out? I apologize for my little bit of jest about the moon. I was in one of my zany moods..
It would really depend on how close a connection I felt for him..
Have not traveled more than 5 hours in the past.. but that was after I met that person locally..
Intercontinental fishing is out for me.

Posted: 6/24/2009 4:31:43 PM | This is a subject that has been weighing heavily on my mind lately! But first, I've traveled oh, 80 miles round trip, but prefer somewhere betwen 15 and 50 miles. Problem is, in the Seattle area a trip of 45-50 miles can easily take 2 hours one way! That's along drive, especially when you thing you'll end up driving home alone afterwards.
But, it seems like I get alot of emails from women in other states, even across the United Staes, 2000 plus miles, but some seem so enticing, conversations (emails) go fine, alot in common in most things you, or better yet I wonder, would it be worth hopping a flight and seeing them? OK, cost of flight, place to stay, food, date etc........and what if....the first time out you both said whoops...mistake. So, I don't know! | |
