ORIGINAL: Devoura Personally, 'Willing to Relocate' means that it's an option in my future. Moving in with someone you've just "met" online seems like it's just asking for trouble. I'd have to know this person -in real life- for quite sometime before deciding to move in with them. Just my two cents ~Dev While what Dev said here is really a generally good rule of thumb and I would never actually advise anyone to do otherwise; ... I "met" Argent on July the 3rd, 1979 but we actually didn't really see each other except in group situations and then it was only 3 or 4 times, until the following September when I called and invited him to my house for dinner. He still hasn't gone home!!! He was totally moved in by New Year's and we married in Oct of 1981. After raising 2 UMs we moved into a 24 7 Ds relationship in 1998, had a recollaring in 2005, and in exactly 1 week from today we will welcome "our girl" into our home 24 7. We met her on CM in April, she has visited here one time. Too fast? It sure doesn't feel like it. Not a good idea for everyone, but sometimes you "just know when it feels right". She is NOT the first girl we considered, but none ever felt like this does. We are not her 'first' consideration either. She did not jump into the first situation that popped up and we did not ask the first girl we met - she has been looking for 4+ years, we have been looking for almost 3 years. She is relocating 2,000+ miles for us. We made the arrangements and have/are paying all her expenses. She has her own room here and "owes" us absolutely nothing except her honesty once she arrives. But with 2,000 miles between us, jobs, plane fares, (plus serious flying phobia) there was just no place for the relationship to go until we were together. Maybe Argent and I, given our past history with each other, make this sort of decision quicker than some and so far luckily for us the one that got us together turned out pretty good. Since we met her here in April we have probably actually talked to her more than many husbands and wives talk to each other in real life. The 2 and 3 hours on the phone ( not phone sex, just talking, asking questions, learning about families, likes and dislikes in all areas not just Ds and bdsm, learning about childhoods, schools, growing up, favorite foods and so on.) Plus the shorter daytime chats and lunch time phone calls, the ims just to say hi. We "know" her as well as we can from here. So we all decided it was time and taking longer in an LDR was not going to make it any better/easier to cement a good solid relationship. It might not be what worrks for everyone, and we cannot guarentee it is 100% right for us. But I knew my 1st husband for over 2 years before we got married and it was a disaster from the get go! Anyway - just the other side of the coin. As for the will or will not relocate - I agree it really should mean "will relocate for the right person when it seems right". I too get gentlemen almost begging to move here (so I can feed, clothe, take care of, play, whatever else) although my profile clearly says boys must be local and will not be live in. Go figure.
