Anyone can relocate.....it's just another choice that needs to be made. Kind of negates the whole on-line concept if distance is an issue.

Just because they're super far away does not automatically mean you'll NEVER meet, I've gone to New York 3 times for friends I met online. If the desire to meet the friends ya been yacking with is strong enough then you'll find a way to go meet them. OR have them come meet you.

... but, ... why spend hours on a missive that isn't going to get you a friend that's you'll actually meet.

Having said all this, I'm sure, especially based on the surprising responses so far, that YMMV.

LDR's suck. Did that. One failed- he was a poser. The other one worked, simply cause he moved here, instead. He was less attached to where he was living.

I have no interest in moving. No one far, far away generally has any interest in moving, either.

So if I strike up a conversation, I do not take it seriously, beyond the momentary goofing off that chatting online represents.

I'm too fickle, they're too fickle, to try to make anything last beyond the "passing of two ships in the night."

I have managed long distance relationships before. They're not my first choice, but shoot, it's not like I have a giant selection of likely men in my own area! If I find someone I am that compatible with, I try and make a go of it.

I talk to them. Of course I get the distance is not an issue if it's meant to be blah blah blah. But realistically, there is more chance than not that we will never meet, so I just try and make a new friend and expect nothing....who knows maybe one day I"ll be pleasantly suprised. lol

Good philosophy regarding making a new friend. It's kind of like planting a seed; who knows what will sprout up. Hopefully, it will be a beautiful flower and not a thorn bush. Hey, there's my gardening metaphor for the day!

Orbitz.com. And if anything deep should develop, I'm fortunate enough that I can easily afford to relocate anywhere in the world if need be.

Living and going to school in South Dakota, where believe me, there are NO kinky people, i have to depend on the Willing to Relocate. Quite a few actually are. After a while, if we seem to connect he will come to visit and see if there is 'magic'. I had one man come for a visit from Scotland last year. It didn't work out, but we are still friends.
It would take a lot to get me to relocate, with 3 kitties, my degree not finished, and my spirituality tied to the area, but as long as i could come back every year for sundance, i would consider it. For the right person. I have done it before.
You need to be realistic about job markets and climates to see who should relocate. Someone from Florida is not the most likely to want to consider SD where it was -2 F for the high today. Also where i am is particularly limited in jobs. Anyone who has some sort of online business would be the most likely and teachers are always needed. One is coming in January. ;;-)) Teacher that is.
Do you want the absolute best match possible, or are you willing to settle for less for the convenience of someone close at hand? I would rather wait for the right one to join me, than settle for less than what i want. That is the bottom line.
Skype is great as it has both IM and computer to computer phone. Along with cell phones, email, and cmail, you can have a goodly amount of contact until one of you can relocate. And visits in between. Meeting halfway or at an international airline hub can make those visits less expensive.

I like Priceline panda- you can offer them less than the posted fare, and very often get your price.

CountrySong, it's my fantasy to have enough money saved to not only afford to pay off a mortgage, the minute Daddy and I decide to buy a house, but also have Daddy make enough money and freedom within his job to take off at a moments notice to anywhere we desire.

OP here's an idea - become financially free so that you have the time and money to travel and play or pay for there travel and play. You'll get to meet so really great people.
I'm working on it so I can go visit. Also you might want to try some play that you can do long distance. I'm working on hypnosis.
If not, stay local. True LD sucks and rarely works out based on my experience.
