Another rant I'm afraid, lol. I'm sure this subject has been done to death already though I couldn't find a similar title.

I'm not interested in a long distance relationship. I've made that pretty clear on my profile and will politely but firmly point it out to anyone who instigates chat or email.

So guys, please don't sound off at me and get abusive just because we have different preferences! If distance is genuinely not an issue for you, that's great. But you need to be chatting to a woman who feels similarly, don't try and convert someone who is very clear about what is right for them!

Right, I'm off for a lie down in a darkened room ....... less...

I can understand where you're coming from, but I have heard of men and women relocating to be closer to a person they're interested in. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

I'm with you Island girl. No LDR's for me, either. It's so difficult for me to try to keep up a relationship locally, let alone long distance. I think you have to put so much more into it (emotionally) than when the person is a local. I feel too invested, too soon.--True
