It might be cheesy, but I sort of like the 'Have heart- will travel' title to your post.........

I don't think distance is any sort of problem when it comes to love, but when CHOOSING a potential date, it is worth bearing in mind how much money you've got for petrol......

I suppose it depends on whether you would like to live anywhere else and if NOT then you'll only want to be looking among the ladies who may want to relocate, but then realistic accessibility for dating is also a must.

wow. you lot don't mess around do you!? 5 replies in 10 minutes? lol
now that's commitment!

i'm not a transplant surgeon, although i wish i was on the same wage as one!
the current price of petrol would surely limit anyone's travel at the minute! Wink (topical, political... i can cover all angles, me!)

hehe

I personally think that although these sites may be hugely entertaining, the chance of really finding the right person for you here is quite slim. It is like finding your perfect partner in a bar while you are getting drunk (a favourite UK passtime so it seems). A bar is easy to pick up someone you might want to spend the night with, but not much more. If you are serious about finding the right person for you, you have to first know yourself and what you like. Then you have to go look for that person in places where someone with those interests is most likely to spend time. Social clubs, sports clubs, theatre circles, parents organizations in schools, etc... Yoga classes, heaps of healthy ladies, dancing lessons, heaps of active ladies, schools, heaps of single parents, etc... And this is all in your own town.
People think the internet is easy, just like the bars are easy and this is true, but it depends on what you want to end up with.
Then again, magic comes when you least expect it!

eric, i totally agree...

but what if, like mine - you life revolves around bars & clubs? lol
maybe i need some more interests... but then surely i'm just changing who i am to find someone who's probably nothing like me in the first place!?

my last partner was nothing like me & we were together over 4 years.. i met her though work, but i know the workplace isn't really a mutual interest, more of a necessity born through a similar talent or skill.

something to think about though!

p.s. NOTHING can replace ACTUAL socialising! The internet is merely an extension or a small % of what you can do in the 'real world'

Ive been 'least expecting' it for six years lol ... there is no hope for me now !!!

MisterDj i have to add ... distance, personally, is a major problem for me, if someone isnt within easy reach then im afraid its going to fail for me, i want someone close enough that i can enjoy the weekends with and possibly drop in for a coffee during the week. I noted the comments about single parents and women who would relocate (unrelated) but usually women are the ones less likley to relocate, especially if they have children in school, and on that subject, they are the ones you are less likely to meet as most single parents dont go out much (babysitters being problematic etc) ... just thought i would throw my penny's worth in ....

I have to agree with Eric though about these sites being entertaining and keep the likes of me amused for hours but the chances of meeting 'the one' are slim ... but possible in some rare cases

Bournemouth is lovely this time of year anyone .... lol Wink

Chances are slim, but any chance when you've had none for....is better than nothing.
Problem with clubs is, you got to be interested in what they do enough to stick with them, and the politics can get you down.
Then again, somepeople seem to just manage fine, and would never think of using the internet.

Oh and Bournemouth is OK I guess, since I know a few reasonable resteraunts there. But as a Poole-ite, I must now say its inferior and a fly-by-night knock up compared to my home town.

I share the same problem, most of the girls from my area haven't logged on for over a year! I've only been on here a couple of days though so will just wait and see what happens.
