I have plenty of issues in my life, lots of debt, and buy round trip plane tickets to Alaska 3 times a year. I can't afford to fly to meet someone. I'm not willing to be alone when I meet someone for the first time, so even if I could afford to fly to meet someone, flying myself AND a friend seems a bit absurd. Even if every first meeting happened in San Antonio, my spare cash goes to the plane tickets to see my daughter 3 times a year (and if you haven't looked, plane tickets to Alaska are EXPENSIVE) and I wouldn't be able to buy tickets to reciprocate meeting them in their hometown. I'm not willing to force someone else to do all of the travel and meeting. I don't have a car. Therefore, LD relationships aren't practical for me. I don't have the resources to maintain the relationship. When it comes to relocation, apart from my financial resources being pretty much completely tied up, I actually like Texas. I have a long term relationship here, and I have a job here that I like that also has advancement potential. I don't WANT to move away. I was also burned, badly, by an experience in my past. I met a submissive, online. She and I were highly compatible (I thought). I had her as my submissive and released her when my schedule became hectic to the point that I could not give her enough attention. She had a housefire. Tragic, but it left her family all healthy and safe, and her with an insurance settlement. She said she wanted to move, and I suggested San Antonio because she knew at least on person here, and I had just finished the find a job shuffle myself and could point out good places to go. She moved here. We tried the RT D/s thing. It didn't work out. She became bitter, hostile, and unhappy with San Antonio and blamed the entire situation on me. Sometime like 2 years later she finally moved back to the hometown that had made her so miserable in the first place. The horrendous guilt, horrible "encounters" with other people in the lifestyle that she met and told ugly lies about me to, and just the entire hassle of someone doing this made me sour on the entire prospect of someone relocating to be with me. So now I just ask (rhetorically) - why won't people accept it when your profile says looking for someone local, and relocation is a hard limit? ~E
