LadyPact -> Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 6:54:22 AM)

I've had something of a question on My mind of late.  Perhaps some others can give Me a little perspective.
 
I'd be interested in any stories that stem from experiences regarding travel.  A lot of male submissives say they are willing to do anything for the right Domme.  How often have you seen them 'go the distance'?  Do you have any experiences with those who have traveled miles just to see you?  How often do you find 'willing to relocate' to be true?  (Sorry for the use of the word.  I know it gets some to have the hair stand straight up on the back of their neck.)   Who has been willing to go the distance?

Mixed bag I've found.

Even in our relatively small country, travel is often a necessity. But one finds some that will travel, some for whom "problems" arise instantaneously on the day for the meeting, and just lately I've come across two who expected me to drive halfway across the country to them! (yeah, right!). I also seem to come across a fair few who have no transport of their own, which is their choice, but why they then bother with someone so far away I dont understand.

Only one so far who has really gone the distance - though he lives locally and its distance in more allegorical terms. We arranged to go to the Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar one Sunday and for him to pick me up at noon. Anyway, he turned up looking very tired and explained that he hadnt got home until the early hours. I consider that "going the distance", as most would have stayed in bed on Sunday and taken the phone off the hook.

Hi LadyPact

Some years ago I had a sub male from Italy. He, Im certain, would of gone the distance but it was me that decided to pull out.
He came over from Italy on a monthly basis to see me and often stayed for a week at a time. He then started to go for interviews in the city and shift his life round to move over.
I was at fault because I called things off. The problem for me is, he was a fair bit younger, extremely good looking and a bit of an entrepreneur and being like this he attracted a lot of young female attention. I felt out of control and under threat! Nothing to do with being dominant but to do with being human! Grrrrrrrrrrr I must have been mad!!




MamaDomme -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 7:38:52 AM)

I have had some travel pretty far to visit with me for a few hours.  Up until 2 years ago, one would fly from Boston to New Orleans to visit for an afternoon.  I've had others that would drive 3-4 hours for a short afternoon visit.

None recently have done anything like that tho.  I am considering one (very strongly, I might add) that is saying he will drive from MN to KY to visit.  I'll see if it happens.




MistressLorelei -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 8:20:17 AM)

I think there are some not willing to travel a few miles (for whatever reason) and there are some willing to travel to a whole different country. 

Personally, I have tried to limit my meetings to those who live close to me, but I did meet someone from this website who lives  in Canada who did make the trip to Florida (pre-my move).  That was over a year ago, and while he sometimes makes me crazy, we are still in touch and are planning a trip for me to travel his way.

I am sure there are many willing to relocate, but relationships are hard enough to establish locally, and distance only increases the difficulty level.  If I felt an incredible amount of potential in a submissive far away, I might be inclined to pursue anyway as compatible submissive males in my area are not all that abundant, but my hope is that a local male will eventually be worthwhile.

Long distance doesent work for me, simply because I am a full time student. Then again, if I wasnt I would be working Full Time, so a bust once again.




earthycouple -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 10:21:04 AM)

Over my time on CM I've had 4 subs visit me from afar.  All to return home saying "I can't move"  I have no idea what real reasons were..but I've heard the gamut and really don't get bent out of shape about it. 

I have NO doubt what so ever that Robert, who lives in Pennsylvania (I am in Illinois) will not only be on the plane Sunday to visit but will be back to stay by May's end.  He will indeed go the distance literally in moving from PA to IL. 

As far as going the distance in "doing anything I require"  I've never felt that a sub would be completely open to me in every way.  My sadistic side only appeals to so many, after all.  But even the wonderful masochistic friend of mine....I love him so much and our time together...he can't go the distance because he can't live with me. 

I have NO doubt that Robert will do anything and everything I desire.  I don't question his ability to please my every want and need.  There is nothing I could toss at him that he won't fulfil to the very best of his ability.  Of course, we've learned in our time together that our limits are very similar, which makes a huge difference.





MstrssPassion -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 11:15:13 AM)

I've had many subs travel to me from far away places such as Italy, Scotland & even Australia. The one from Australia, well we knew it would be just a one time thing since neither of us could relocate. We had a blast. The one from Italy came over, we got together many times but we just didn't make the connection as far as anything long term. We still talk from time to time but there just isn't any chemistry. The one from Scotland was talking shit. Three examples, three ways that things could go down. The fourth, the happily-ever-after scenario seems to be the rarest.

I had a sub relocate to me (in FL) from California. Because of this guy I now have the rule of not considering anyone from great distances regardless of their willingness to relocate. First, I wouldn't want anyone to move to me with hopes to get together & then blame me for uprooting their life if it didn't work out. This is because they would have to get their own place to begin with. Secondly, I don't feel I can get to know a person until I also see how they live & I would like to see how they live under normal circumstances.  

I can't make long trips, besides those trips tend to not reveal much about what is really going on in that person's life. They could very well "prepare" their environment for your arrival & the flip side.... they coming to you, staying in a hotel... says nothing.

This is just my personal take on this whole long distance thing & if you read from the boards (& elsewhere) enough you will see that many many many people post about the hazards, the unexpected surprises (the I sure wish I had known that before I got in this deep stories) & other dastardly discoveries, much more often than the.... hey, he/I/she moved 3000 miles & lived happily-ever-after stories.




canupleaseme -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 11:48:15 AM)

I hate long distance, but my boy will travel quite far to see me and I have travelled to see him.  We usually spend a week or two with each other and whilst its not as often as we would like it to be it is every few weeks.  The plan is he will move in with me eventually, we are taking it slowly because we want to make sure it will work etc.  I think its a very big thing for him to do, I am unable to relocate though it may be possible in a few years.
Moving in with me is his taking on a lot, I hope he makes the distance we love each other very much.  We are also realistic that things happen and maybe it wont but for now he is certainly going in every distance I'm asking him too [:D]  I'm sure i'll be on here moaning if he doesnt and then we can put that on the no he can't list lol

Good question LadyPact!  I have experience from both sides of the fence. [;)]
 
With my former spouse and Mistress, I closed a business and moved from the Detroit area to Dallas.  Now that we're no longer a couple, you might saw that wasn't a wise decision.  But, I guess that's part of life. [8|]
 
The first Domme I was with following that lived about 7 hours away by car, and yes I made the trip without any hesitation and considered it well worth my time. [;)]
 
I've corresponded with women here on CM and up to a point was making plans to fly to Canada from Dallas to visit a woman who seemed to have potential for a relationship when it suddenly became abundantly clear to me that it would not be a good match.  Yet, until that point, I was prepared to make the trip.  Likewise, she was considering making the trip to visit me at a later date as well. [&:]
 
My new Mistress lives a few hours away from me.  She's not "next door" and for a number of reasons usually prefers to drive to my place and usually takes care of other things as well while she's in town.  While in the early "dating" stages, I've driven to meet her near where she lives as well.  Because my unmentionables are located here (ages 7 and 10), I'm not at all free to relocate at this time.  For that reason and because she has extended family in my area, she's ultimately planning to move to where I live instead of it being the other way around as she's had a desire to move here for some time.  I suppose in time, we'll see how that works out as well.  In the mean time, the primary drawback of course is that we don't see each other nearly as often as either of us would like. [>:] 
 
So for me, with the right connection and circumstances, I don't see distance as being a problem.  I have read and understand the things which have been written by others about long distance relationships.  To me, it's all relative and when one finds the right connection, I think if they know themselves well, they really know it deep inside. [:D]
 
I fully expect there will be things two people will learn about each other that can only come through familiarity that happens when face to face and are learned only when together at the times they're not on their best behavior of the sort that's limited by windows of opportunity.  With communication, tolerance and compromise, I think those things can be worked out if the basic things are there, including the right connection I spoke of along with the desire to make things work.  But that's perhaps just my idealistic perception. [8D]

LadyPact -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 2:47:44 PM)

Great input so far.  I hope to hear more.
 
The 2-3 hour drive idea I actually consider reasonable.  I think of that as drive one way on Saturday, do the hotel, and return on Sunday.  I've had a few that have done that, so I don't see that as too outrageous.  To date, I haven't had the experience of anyone willing to hop on a plane just to see Me, but I think it would be great for the ego!




LadyIce -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 3:01:59 PM)

Most talk the talk but don't walk the walk.
That has been my experience.

Myself & my current partner were right around 4 hours one-way when we first got together. (From Tampa to Delray Beach) I know every back road route across the state from looking for ways to shave a little time of the trip.

It was brutal... we both racked up lots of miles.

We've made the investment of time & trouble during our long distance commute... & it paid off.




LadyIce -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 3:46:47 PM)

Congratulations, it can work when both partners are serious and willing to do
what it takes to have a relationship.
Often, one partner is just not as committed as the other partner.




DrPleasure -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 3:58:55 PM)

I believe that each relationship is different.  I had so many hard set rules and no one could make my budget from them.  But, I met someone that I really liked and it was funny how these rules that I had set up for myself weren't so important anymore.

If you meet the right person, you will go the distance.




Politesub53 -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 4:33:53 PM)

Does a round trip of 10,000 miles to buy someone dinner and go shopping count as going the distance ?
[;)]




Joeconero -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 4:53:34 PM)

For regular visits as long as it's not worse then a bad commute here, I would say 1 hour for myself is about max each way.




Aimtoplease101 -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 6:57:44 PM)

I've always had reservations about individuals, of any orientation or bent, who are ready to proclaim, in advance, that they are "ready to relocate."

It seems to indicate that they don't have much of a connection to the place in which they live-- friends, family, career, interests, etc.-- and that seems to me be a danger sign in a person. 

One can imagine situations in which your roots in a community can be uprooted for the right reason.  But if it's going to be for a relationship (D/s or vanilla), it had better be something you've spent a good deal of time and soul searching getting comfortable with.  Just placing it in your profile, in advance of establishing a relationship, simply doesn't seem geniune to me.

That's not to say that you shouldn't be willing to travel to meet someone, in order to spend time with them and to determine whether the relationship is worth the upheaval of relocation.  But it's a decision to take time with--not to decide when you put up your profile as a way of attracting attention.

I hope this doesn't sound judgmental-- apologies in advance to everyone reading this who has "willing to relocate" in their profiles.  I'm sure you have good reasons.  It's those other people to which this refers.

Regards, ATP




jonathan -> RE: Can they go the distance? (5/11/2007 9:06:29 PM)

Um, Lady Pact, if it is genuine and there has been sufficient e-mail/phone/visits beforehand for You to be somewhat comfortable, then i must say yes. i did go the distance 6 months ago, 3K miles from VA to AZ with truck & trailer, and even though it did not happen, i do not regret the change in life. The reloc can happen, it just may not turn out as desired. Nothing is easy.

Our society today isn't as nearly stationary or "close knit" as it once was.  In my own particular situation, after having moved to Dallas from the Detroit area 4-1/2 years ago in support of my former Mistress' career, if it weren't for my unmentionables still being here, I'd be chomping at the bit to move.  I'd have put that I'd consider relocating on my profile in a flash and not at all limited myself in any way regarding wanting to stay in the local area where I reside at this time as I don't feel as though I've put down hardly any roots until recently for a number of reasons that I'll not address here at the present moment in time.
