ORIGINAL: krosiema Yes, how much would you consider 'relocation' a waste? There's always the risk that even if the person's real, the situation doesn't work out. Especially if you want a slave to move to your place. To me, that means not moving is worth more to you than relocating possible slaves. Then you will have to take the risk sometime. There is no 'sure thing.' For example, for me, I was happy to pay for a plane ticket for someone I've known only online, though for a year. (This was a friends only situation.) Just because she wanted to visit me, in the city I was staying in, and while it was quite a bit of money for her, it was affordable enough for me to take the risk and see if I would enjoy her company (which I did immensely). The key was that when I got to know her, money was not talked about, at all. And I was the one who asked if she wanted to visit, and offered to buy her a ticket. And just a ticket, not cash. So if there's a possibility that the girl is the right fit for you, then you should consider spending some money to meet up with her. If neither of you can afford the trip to just meet up, then perhaps you're not really in the financial situation to relocate her at all. Pretty much what I was saying isn't it? Just written differently same message though. Difference is air lifting a girl to my home from interstate it is a matter of at most 4,000 miles with perhaps a couple of hundred dollars for the flighjt and another couple of hundred to have her gear (if bulky) road shipped. if she is closer I may even borrow a suitable aircraft (either twin engine prop or even a lear jet from one of my associates and fly her myself). Sort of depends on available finances to play with. I used the Bill Gates example because there is not much change out of AU$5,000 one way from the US to Aussie if you co commercial. My point being some people have that sort of money to play with and won't be missed if it doesn't work out. Others need be far more thrifty. I have enough Highland Scott in me not to want to blow money unless I have satisfied myself that any expenses out of my pocket is money well spent and as such things have a good chance to work out.
