Are you targeting people from out of state? If you email/wink and talk to people from out of state, than yes you will make friends there. To meet someone closer, you need to look closer to home. Good Luck

Maybe it has something to do with the 'thrill of the chase'... 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'..... who knows?

I have a theory that when some people are not really ready for a relationship, they are able to find a comfort level corresponding with someone from afar. I think they allow someone to kind of fill that loneliness gap without truly having to commit. I don't think this is true in all cases, sometimes we just click with people who live far away. But, I think in some cases it is true.

i have a friend out of state and im more closer to him emotionally than anyone ive ever nknown i have been thinking about this and i think it is because you have to talk to them thats all you can do and we talk alot more than i have with any man i have ever been in a relationship with locally. there si this bound between us that is amasing never felt like that with anyone ive ever been with besides him .i just trust him .
i dont know if any of you have ver experianced these feelings but it is wonderful and it isnt complicated it is just love in the simplest form .and im so thankful for having him in my life and i just except that that is the way it is and i dont question it .im just glad i have the chance to feel like this about someone and him feel the same for me

I agree 100%. After a while you start to become close friends because you don't have anything else to do but talk. A really great way to know someone. After a while, it is possible to have feelings and a connection with that person then it is even possible to begin to fall in love. I said begin to fall in love because once you finally meet and touch for the first time, it will instantly be love.

I talked with a gentleman 6 mnths before we ever exchanged pictures or met. He was the love of my life. I will never forget him. It was slow and easy and we knew each other WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before we met. The only problem was he was going back to Norway and my daughter was only 3 I didn't want to leave my family and go that far. I will always wonder "What If " ?
Distance can be good or bad.............but I am not shallow enough to think the man , the one man ment for me and I for him are in the same zip code. JMO

You can't just decide that you're only going to communicate with local people on an International website and expect to find that needle in the proverbial haystack.
How many people on this site are local to YOU? From what I've seen it's maybe a couple-hundred or so, depending on how large your "local" circle is. And of those people, what is that percentage-wise of the population in your area? I'm guessing that it can't be more than 2 to 5 percent? (pure guesstimate)
Whatever it is, you are only seeing a small slice of what's out there. So you search your area and no-one you browse seems to have the attributes you're looking for. So you widen your search parameters.
Sooner or later you get lucky and actually meet someone that you could hit it off with....only to realize that they live 1000 miles away. What are you going to do? Blow them off because they live too far away? Remember - they are quite possibly the needle that you've been looking for.
In using a site like this, we are trading in our fishing pole and our little pond for a fishing trawler in the ocean, hoping that out of the thousands of fish we pull in with that huge net that we will find 'the one' that fits us as well as we could hope.
Just because there may be a great distance between you, are you willing to throw that needle back and try to find another? I mean, you felt incredibly lucky to find 'the one' - are you ready to go back searching just because there's a bit of difficulty in getting together with the one that you DID find?
