@ Thinker well
It´s possible I never get your attention, young and distant lady, but I have read about you, sometime ago, and I´m puzzled at you.
I don´t know what pushed you to write here on cc. Possible you´ve believed in the Christian fellowship several members have offered online (much better than those who are too controlling or religious, personally) but I´d to honor what you said on your signature: "Only a person who risks is free" (I´d bet you are free enough to read me).
I know several positive (and negative) LDR relationships. Olerica posted this: "
Well, My late husband and I met online by accident kinda in 96 (when such things were not done, and OMGoodness, does that date make me feel less than young).
We talked exclusively online for about 2 weeks, then progressed to hours and hours long conversations when no one had cell phones, and you both paid for each minute on the phone...oh, the phone bills! But I digress. We met in person at the end of the second month of our online meet. A few months later I went out to his state, stayed with his parents for two weeks and at the end of that period of time he asked me to marry him and we went ring shopping. A few months later, I moved to his city and we married six months later. Commence happy (for the most part) marriage. He's been gone for just over 3 years, but God has been so good to me in that time." (

Few days back, I met a couple at the clinic I accompanied my mother. The woman who married that old man I saw told me part of their love story (of their 45 years of marriage) and, at some point of their affair, the man told me: "
That´s the way how LLANEROS are..." (meaning their stubborness in getting what they want).
-Did you write a book on "How to get succesfully married in 3 months" with the woman you´ve liked? -I asked him, jokingly.
Both spouses were totally different, with differing oppinions. She is still working as a school teacher (I didn´t ask what he does for a living) (he´s possible retired). That woman teaches at the same school my sister´s son goes to, and she is so honest and straight... (I wish she finally made the dicision to move to the States, with her husband, to live nearby the daughter they have in USA).
The thing I´m chewing with these thoughts and singleness, Thinker, is: You seemed willingly to move on somewhwere else and, apparently, are stuck in some possible limitation... (
I wished I had enough permission to ask why you´re not married)
I don´t think USA is a country I would enjoy moving or living in. It could look like an economic stronghold, but it´s weak. I have known a lot of ppl how longs to be there but, the earth is roomy enough to find some other place, to live or die.
