DaddySatyr -> RE: How Real Is Real Enough? (12/9/2014 1:42:35 AM)


I have a solution that works very well for me. The parameters change based upon distance but I will go with your "more than a day's drive".

It's simple. I don't go to them. They come to me or it doesn't happen. Well, I'll make an exception; I have some friends and close acquaintances, all over the country. If I were interested in someone, long-distance and they were near one of these friends/acquaintances, I would plan a short detour to see this new person as an aside to a trip to see one of my friends.

Yeah, the long and short of it is: I don't travel, anymore. If that means that the person with whom I'm communicating decides it isn't worth their effort. So be it. We must not be a very good match.

Having said all of that, I've maintained relationships that were an eight hour drive from me (less than a day, in my book). I wound up in Pennsyltucky because I was willing to drive three hours (one way) to investigate a relationship with my lady, Beth.

It all depends upon the situation and the person.

Good luck.



Michael

I'm finding it difficult to know how paranoid is paranoid enough. I really don't want to become so suspicious I don't let anyone in to my life, yet...



Be paranoid enough until you are comfortable. If you have an ounce of sense, you should smell bullshit a mile away.


That is very very true Gauge.

I don't know how the *bleep* I have managed to do this....I don't mean to brag....but I have to say that I honestly don't understand it. I have never had a bad experience, or been stood up when meeting someone that I originally met online, and over the last 4 years I've probably met 20-25 men. Sure, with most of them, we discovered there was no connection or chemistry at the in-person meeting, but they just always ended with a shrug, apology and "I wish you better luck".... but never anything traumatic. And hell....I don't even use my cam or have a Skype account.

Okay....correction.... I was "stood up" once, but then he called me an hour after he was supposed to be there and told me that something came up, But then we re-scheduled, and for that meeting he did show up.

I wish I knew how to explain it....but all I can say is that I agree with Gauge....it's a bullshit detector. I also think that you need to make sure that you are thinking with the brain that;s between your ears and not with the one between your legs....and that you can tell that the other person is doing the same thing.

I think you have to make sure that you don't get too excited about anything until something genuine and serious develops and you KNOW that they aren't going to disappear.
