Dating Focus (Local or Distant)

[EyesOfKohl]

To those who are currently searching or opening up to the idea of a relationship/dating scene

Are you focused more on the local scene or long distance?

 

[Sketcher]

Local. Relationships don't need the extra trouble of long distance, IMO.

 

[Miss Spaulding]

I'm not 'focused' on either. Whatever works, and I think either local or long distance would work fine for me.

In your local scene, what are your area(s) to meet single girls?

Hey, now. I never said I was good with that aspect of it.

Long distance does not appeal to me, but considering what there is (or is not) locally, it might be the best option. However, there is a limit to how long distance I would be willing to go. I think as long as he is within the same state as me, it's doable.

Distance doesn't bother me, so local or not doesn't really matter.

I just don't think you can really get to know someone without being around them in person. It's just not the same talking on the phone or chatting over the internet. Although as leothelioness said, realistically, we don't always have many options so I suppose sometimes it could work out.

I've been on a dating binge and decided to take a break..but when I begin again, local. I've done long distance, and it's not for me. Hard to really have a relationship based off texts, and phone calls as your main source of communication. Kinda boring.

I am for what ever the post man brings me.

I have never date long distance so it may be fun.

Regardless of how it works I do know that once I find somebody that we will establish ourselves in Dallas or Tulsa if God wills it.

My sister has done long distance, and has made it work beautifully. She's due to move to Holland in January, and both her and her partner have really got their ducks in line. I wasn't sure at first, but now I'm convinced that she's doing the right thing. It's also an incredible opportunity for her, which adds to the bargain.

With me being very independent by nature, distance would work for me also. I don't need to see someone everyday, or check in on them every five minutes to know that I love them or that they love me. In fact, 70% of the time, I don't really want to be around people anyway. Even when I had a girlfriend, we only met up twice a week. (Though we put aside a full day for each other.)

I'd actually be happy if God said that I'd remain single for the rest of my life. The four years that I have been single have been the most productive of my life. I've got so much done, and I have so many crazy stories to tell. I've loved every minute of it.

I'm not focused on either. I can't move so he'd have to live around the corner or live in a poor country and be willing to immigrate.
I looked on Dutch dating sites. They have kids too. If they live 20 kilometers away it's even too far because they also have to live near school and the ex.
If they don't have that they don't want to move either.

I don't see any reason to make things distant. Distance might be good if I were trying to hide something.

Whatever happens happens with me. But I would have too be local. Maybe distance if they were really special but they would have to understand I couldn't or wouldn't move (I've done it once before so it's a no for me)

Yeah, they would have to be pretty special for me, too if I was going to do long distance. It's not ideal, but if that person was awesome enough it would be negotiable.

 

[scraparcs]

I'd prefer he live somewhat close. Where I live 20km is really close and even 50km is doable. But hey, whatever happens happens.

 

[Jack of Spades]

I'm open for everything. Short distance is much easier, but for me, possibility of moving is just technical problem. I've already moved like 10 times in my life and I don't have a homeplace or home town, so distance and moving are not that big problems for me by default. Also, because I am a geek, I'm used to online communication with people, it's not big deal for me if there are periods when you can't meet physically. Of course, the other party must feel same way about it or it's not going to work.

Right now it I am mostly focused on local. But that will change within the next two years.
