mortensorchid Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I was thinking about something the other day. I had a former friend of mine who was/is a complete and utter train wreck who put up a profile on Match quite a bit ago. She was flying all across America going to see these guys she had met online. Of course, none of them worked out (and she was probably giving me a sanitized version of things, as she tends to get involved with people who have robbed her, beaten her and gotten her thrown in jail). But that story aside ... I was curious, who else out there has crossed state lines to meet someone? I would assume the majority of people do it locally if not regionally for dating purposes. It seems like it would be a tremendous waste of time and energy for someone to cross state lines to meet someone. But has anyone ever done it? If so, what happened?
FitChick Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I've gone to other countries. So have thousands of people everywhere. If you feel you have a connection with someone, distance is irrelevant. 2
Pyro Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Had a LDR with someone from another continent and we are now together and happily married:) 2
gaius Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I have before. I planned a whole trip around it so if she flaked out or there was no chemistry it wouldn't be a waste. Life's short!
firehawk_1 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 its funny. Ive tried to search for women in other countries and would love to not have someone of my nationality because im sick and tired of their attitude (plenty of evidence on these forums alone). but they always moan and complain about distance yet im the one making the massive effort. they cant even meet half way. so its interesting that your friend has been able to meet these people. i know i would (and certainly happened ALOT more a good 10 years ago or so) travel wherever to be with that person. would show commitment, devotion and the fact that the person would do everything and anything to be with the one person, THAT person and that nothing nor no one else matters
january2011 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I crossed a continent. It's been working out so far. 1
firehawk_1 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 nice. id love to do that. sadly no one seems to be keen or they have other people on the go. (far too common)
El Brujo Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I've never been keen on the LDR thing because I have responsibilities. One doesn't simply pull up roots and go galavanting off to Honyockland on an infatuated whim if one has a home and animals one has to take care of. Besides that, I don't understand how the women in another part of the world can be different from the women here or anywhere else... unless we're talking Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan.
insertnamehere Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I have a old college friend (male) who is like this. Not quite flying all over the country, but he'll drive to some place three hours away to meet a chick. Pretty much the same results as the OP's lady friend. A lot of low quality people with serious issues. I never understood that tendency. I can barely be bothered to drive 45 minutes for anything.
