Locust Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 I met a older woman online we have 10 years in age difference and we live far apart. I live on the west coast of the US and she live on the east coast of the US. She asked if I have a online dating profile and I said yes and she asked me if I can close it. Well I'm not going to close it because long distance I don't think it can work. If it does work, I realize one of us is going to have to relocate either I go there or she come here. We did a Skype chat the other night and it was the woman I seen in the photos she sent me. She is good looking so physcial attraction is no problem I also sent a couple pictures of myself to her as well. She said she tried guys in her location, but all they want is sex from her but she wants a serious relationship. She said she giving online a try because her friend found her love online. So I'm like not so sure all about this. 10 year age gap and long distance. She is in her mid 30's and I'm in my mid 20's. Couple of my friends say it could work out but it would be wise to get some more of your own age because difference it taste could be a issue.
WhatYouWantToHear Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 It's not going to work. The distance is more of a hinderance than than the age. 1

Els Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 because long distance I don't think it can work I honestly think that this will affect the outcome more than anything else mentioned in your article, including the age difference. If you do not believe LDRs can work, you are not likely to be willing to invest the time, money, and effort needed for it to work, because you already believe it is a lost cause. It is like someone going into a competition believing he will lose. He has already lost before he has set foot in it. You also have not mentioned anything good about her other than her appearance, so you certainly don't sound invested enough in HER for it to be worth considering a LDR or even a (expensive) first meetup. This is not necessarily a bad thing. LDRs aren't for everyone. It sounds like they're not for you. 2

But like you distance is probably the biggest factor

But like you distance is probably the biggest factor No, I did not say distance is the biggest factor. I said that your perception of LDRs is the biggest factor.
