Okay V, yeah I'd see nothing wrong with coffee at home after the 4th date. You just said you had an online date and I assumed it was the first. See what happens when I assume?
Doodler I did call. Got voice mail - which is not too uncommon. Get a text back later she is on a business trip and added, "and don't worry it's not Chicago". Guess she already knows what I was thinking. Actually she is way too smart for her own hid sometimes. So hopefully we will connect this weekend.
I can't tell you how much I wish we lived 10 miles away like the guy G is talking to rather than 10 hours away. Add in we each have busy schedules and you see why it is what it is.
But I did call so I'll pphave to decline your invitation. G however can certainly coax me. .
DonH Midwest Me 56 WAW-EXW 55 Met 11/95 / Married 5/00 Bomb 6/20/05 / She Filed on 6/2/06 / Divorced on 10/9/06 4 who'd qualify as GF since D & dated about 25 women since D
Don, me and 10 minute away guy just sent one actual message, there is no expectations here.
I have been in mostly long distance dating relationships since the divorce. There is a chance I gravitate towards the because they allow me the time to get done what I need to get done in my busy life without pressure. I then know the time I have planned to spend with that person is ours. As time goes on though, for me with a young kid anyways, as we became more comfortable together to have kids involved I wanted to be closer.
The 10 hours might not be the worst thing if there is a possibility of the two of you living in the same area one day. It could be fun. I find with distance, it's actually more of a chance to get emotionally closer, because that's all you have at the time. Getting to know who eachother is by talking and sharing. I write off 10 hours for myself because I have such a young child. It just couldn't work for me. I did consider, however moving 2 and a half hours away.
Think about it. If you think you guys have a chance, you could actually enjoy this long distance thing!!!

Ginger,
I've noticed the same thing. On eHarmony I tend to be reluctant to start the communication process with women who are near me. If they're further away, I know that we'll have to get to know each other before initiating a date in person. I'd prefer to feel comfortable with the person before making a date.
I guess it would be possible to have the same interaction with someone near me prior to a date, but I don't think I'd have the depth of conversation with someone nearby, prior to a date, that I would have with someone who lives far away. The nearness makes it too easy to schedule a date early in the communication process.

Does that make sense?
No

Oh well, it seemed to make sense when I wrote it. But, I've been listening to "Time to Say Goodbye" with Andrea Bocelli (Italian tenor), so now I'm all mushy and romantic inside and I don't know what to think.

Skinny dip in the English Channel?
I think you might want to choose someone you like very much instead of using proximity as a measure. Otherwise if you need distance to slow an R as you really Ready?
Just saying.
Skinny dipping in the English Channel or the Atlantic in October are you crazy?
