| Do you search/contact singles outside your area?
Posted: 8/15/2006 10:31:49 AM | | I only know of singles outside my area because of these forums. I have never thought about searching Canadian singles or those in other states/countries. Do you contact or recieve mail from people outside of your area? How do you feel about the distance issue? | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 10:38:12 AM | No. But something freaks me out.
I get more emails from men from Canada,Germany, England
and Ireland than I get from the US.
How do I appear in their search engine and not in this country??
I swear....I've been wondering this like a maniac for days now.
Thanks for the thread. That's a good question.
OT: No, I don't search for anyone. There is no point.
I only email people from the forums. | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 10:43:31 AM | I have found people outside my province and country to talk/email/chat with because I find more people living furthur away that have more in common with me mentally than those that live closer.
Distance I don't have a problem with because if anything serious happens between myself and one of these far away people, I will find a way to close the gap between us. There is something to be said for inginuity and stubborness. 
Happy  | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 10:54:21 AM | No, I'm pretty strict about my distance rules! Why bother.....you spend most of the date driving to the person and with the price of gas now!!!LOL I had someone argue with me, saying I was close minded. What if Mr Right lived over an hour from me!?!? I said some other lucky girl would find him then!!! My kids and I are happy where we are and I wouldn't move for anyone!!!
I can't chat with someone without meeting them, people come across differently online then they do in person most times!!! I have found people that I love chatting with, I have no connection in person, so I don't base anything on chatting!
Just my 2cents! | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 11:03:52 AM | i get a lot from american and canadian guys
but i suppose that is because of me comming in the forums
and i suppose i dont rule anything out
but it is obviously easier to try to concentrate on people in your own country | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 11:06:44 AM | I do but mostly from the forums. There are some in the forums that I look for their comments.
I'm not big on initiating e-mails but I do let some women know when I think they add a lot to the forums.
Edit: I have recieved some from a little out of my dating range, but they have been from some very nice woman. | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 11:09:21 AM | | I'll browse other profiles, but I have no intention of dating anyone outside of my immediate area. The few messages I send are usually just to say hello or discuss a common point of interest. | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 11:11:49 AM | Yes.. but I don't expect much.
I travel alot so if I think someone will be good company I will visit them but I"ll plan a vacation around it. I've been to Panama, UK, Italy, Australia. I really don't expect a long term relationship but a friend to show me around. If it turns into more then great. | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 11:16:49 AM | I get mail from all over the USA and some from Europe and Canada. Once in a while South America...but not often.
I PREFER to talk to guys at a long distance. Guys who live nearby want to meet in person right away and since I'm NOT here for that it makes it awkward when I have to tell him I like talking to him, but have no desire to meet him.
If the guy is far away he doesn't worry so much about meeting in person...we can just enjoy our conversations, take our time and see if we ever want to meet in the future. There is less pressure with a guy in another time zone! | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 11:18:35 AM | | I dated a guy I met on a different site who lived in Cali..,which is about as far as you can get from me (in Ohio) of course, it didn't work out. Why should it? Being that far away is ridiculous. However, what if they aren't that far away? I find guys in Canada who are HOT HOT HOT, and some of them are only about 9 hrs.,that isn't too far.,is it? At least if you both decided you wanted to give it a try your within driving distance to visit family and friends! | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 1:41:31 PM | | I talk to people regardless of where they live, but I no longer do the long distance relationship thingy. I can't be pinned to this damn keyboard living out "love" from afar. I'm rather fond of skin to skin sparky sparkies. | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 3:05:17 PM | Good question...I won't necessarily search outside of my local (relatively local anyway) area, but I will take a look at someone's profile who has piqued my interest with a forum post, and possibly contact them. I'm realistic about the chances of a long-distance relationship, but heck, you never know, so on occasion I'll send someone a message. Like my profile says, if we hit it off, hopefully the geography will work itself out at some point. And if nothing else, maybe I've made a new friend. I guess you just have to be open to life's possibilities.
I'm probably more open to people at a distance now, given that I only moved to Minnesota from the East Coast a year ago, and to a small town in rural SW MN about 2 months ago. There aren't a lot of eligible and compatible women out this way, so my best bet seems to search in the Twin Cities, but I'm still 2 hours from there. Either that, or talk one of the many Canadian hotties here to cross the border | |

I will respond to, and talk to people outside my "area." But I don't take them as serious relationship wise as I do someone nearby. You never know, but....
You never do know. Some people like to travel; some people would travel for a chance at meeting someone extraordinary. Isn't that what most of us are doing here, trying to find people that we think are extraordinary? Not taking someone from a distance as serious could be a mistake on many levels that I can think of, the most important in my opinion being the self-imposed limitation in your search for happiness and new experiences.
I'd crawl through a hundred miles of broken glass if I thought it would lead to the right person. Driving a hundred miles is nothing. Sometimes people are even looking to relocate, they don't really care where; and sometimes they decide they want to, simply because the relationship they didn't close their mind to was allowed to grow.
Sure there are pressures in long distance "dating", for lack of a less distasteful word. There are pressures in every day life. Part of getting around those pressures requires finding people for your life that can engage you on the levels you want to be engaged.
So, yeah, I sometimes contact people from outside my area. To be honest, I find that I don't really have to search for people outside my area, there are plenty where I live and where I go for me to search among. If someone from a distance writes, of course I'm going to give them the same consideration I give anyone else. If I write first to someone far away, it's because I found them by accident, and because I've already considered the obstacles that would arise getting involved with this person.
One last thing. Masturbate is spelled with a "U", "tur", not "ter", "tur", masturbate. That wasn't intended at anyone in particular. I just know how it irritates some people when that word gets misspelled (yes, misspelled, not mispelled, but misspelled). | |
