That's right.
I would go anywhere if "he" were there. Or "he" could come to me. The important part is getting together in the first place.

Actually, for me it is finding him in the first place, getting together would come second

In the past few years I've had 2 major relationships, one long-distance, the other lived 26 miles from me. Neither worked out. After spending time with the long distance guy (he came here for a week, then I went there), he decided I was too big for him. The closer one has turned out to have a lot of unresolved issues that are bordering on psychosis. Glad to be out of both.
I am willing to relocate but not for about 4-5 more years when I fnally retire from my teaching job. I'm already 1200 miles from most of my family so moving will not involve worrying about family. I just want to finish the career I started and I like where I'm teaching at. But if I meet someone in the next year or so, things could certainly take a different path. I think many people are open to new lives when they meet the "right" person.

I'm not willing to relocate for a number of reasons.
1.) I'm a homeowner.
2.) My son hasn't graduated from high school.
3.) My daughter, her b/f and my grandson are just minutes away.
4.) I have a good job.
Now why would I want to leave when I have this much already?

If I wasn't willing to relocate I would go to a different church each sunday or hit the local bars, join clubs etc. Why be here for any length of time and expect to find the right person within 50 mi? Just a friendly question

In my profile, under willing to relocate, I put down NO. As I stated in the comment above, these are perfectly legitimate reasons NOT to want to relocate. Under the category of seeking relationship, I have friendship. That takes the pressure off of the ever so elusive quest for that special someone. And yet again under looking for a match, it says anywhere. Friends can be found all over the world here and I don't want to discourage the possibility of friendship.
That is why I'm only "looking" for friendship...I'm not in a position to uproot my life at this point...especially with the housing market on a downturn. I don't wish to misrepresent myself in anyway when it comes to someone else looking for love.
As far as going to different churches, I usually work on Sunday. (Yes I know some churches have serives on other days...but not too long ago, the church I was going to had a huge separation with tons of politics, fighting, ending with the church splitting. I'm just not ready to open my heart to another group of church members at this time.) I'm not a barfly...can't stand to go to bars at this time in my life. Besides, I'm not of a drinker. Lastly, I do belong to a few clubs that I am active in. Guess I'm just not in the right ones!

I'm not willing to relocate - pretty much along the lines of Whatagal's reasons - I have a great job (aka golden handcuffs) and I'm a homeowner. Then again, I'm not really expecting to find the love of my life/soulmate...been there, done that and I figure grabbing the brass ring once was amazing enough.
That said, I'm thrilled for Lee and have nothing but the very best wishes for those who are still trying to grab that brass ring on the merry-go-round of love!

I can't move because jobs in my field are difficult to find. I also love where I live, and the majority of my family is no more than a 2-hour drive away.

Warning: You don't ge to choose who you fall in love with. Love finds you and grabs you and you're like WTF just happened? So, if you're not willing to consider relocating, you might be in Danger on this site. Falling in love with someone you can't be with has to be the worst feeling in the world.
Luckily for me.... my man is moving the 800 miles here to be with me.
But, even though I have a great job and home and family....I would have considered moving to be with him. Heck... not just consider - I would have. No hesitation. Love is the most powerful force of all.

Lee, I am so very, very happy for you!!
(I hear your warning, but I'm only here for friends - my 'best friend' and I live about 6 miles apart on a freeway where you get passed doing 75 (ask Eyes of Blue - she saw it), but on the same street...ya never know who might be a stone's throw away either!

That moving stuff never works, nobody really does that, they just talk about it.
