Would you date somebody abroad?

[Deleted]

As the title says, would you date/enter a relationship with somebody over seas?

Personally I wouldn't, I had a 14 month long distance relationship with somebody who lived 200 miles away and it affected the relationship as we could only meet two weekends a month (eventually only one weekend a month) so having a relationship with somebody so far away that we would probably only meet for two weeks a year just wouldn't be worth it personally for me. I remember getting cyber involved with a lovely American at age 18 but we never met

Depends completely on how often you can meet on a regular basis. Though your example sounds good enough with two weekends a month, if its consistent every month. However I would only consider it after we already dated, I won't start dating someone that lives so far away, but I wouldn't mind it in an already established relationship.

[Dsonsion]

I wouldn't mind if there's really some chemistry. Still, it's easier to feel it when you can establish physical contact with the other person.

200 miles isn't much in the US.

[Zafire]

As long as there were plans for one of us to move eventually, sure.

If not, no.

[Resies]

I would try, I'm single right now so there's not much to lose.

But probably only if it would be feasible for us to live together within a year or two. I don't think I could stand waiting 5 - 10 years to be together.

[Jester Joe]

I wouldn't start one unless I knew the person physically. But I wouldn't drop a relationship if someone needed to move away.

But I'm taken for now, so I suppose it doesn't really matter unless she moves on me.

I met my husband online, we dated with many thousands of miles between us (UK -> USA) for a year before we moved in together. Considering we've been married for almost 10 years now, I'd say it was worth the effort.

If I ever found myself single would I seek out a long distance relationship? Probably wouldn't actively look for one - not gonna lie, it was very, very hard. But I also wouldn't rule it out completely either. If you find the right person then it's worth giving it a go in my opinion, but I'd much rather find someone local. Hopefully won't need to date again anyway though :P

[Salech]

Yes .

Yeah, this. I could do long-distance if I knew it was temporary.

[Kryctos]

I wouldnt date anyone long distance as in 4hrs away much less someone in a different country.

[Xanjori]

Yeah I did and then moved to the other country.

[drwelfare]

I dont see it working, I dont have trust and I feel they would bleed me for money with no reward.

I can not easily travel or go far, so I could never visit them.

[Faesroll]

I'm dutch and my gf is from the Dominican Republic. Almost a year together now. I was there for 2 weeks during new year and she's coming over to Holland for a month during the summer. It's tough for sure, but doable.

[Fencers]

Unlikely. Long distance relationships are terribly problematic and typically do not work out well.

[Reg]

My relationships require a heavy sex element, so no.

[Zhanshi]

I met my girlfriend on WoW when I was 14, 8 years ago, and we didn't get to see eachother once, besides skype, for those years. But now we've been together for over a year and we couldn't be happier. So yes, I think I'd be able to date someone over seas.
