Unveiling the Realities of Long-Distance Relationships

Let's talk about people who don't live nearby. I think it's always wise when you are dating to consider how far you are willing to travel, because although it might be lovely to be speaking to somebody who lives in another country or another city or somewhere like that, the reality is that until you meet somebody face to face, you have absolutely no idea whether you're going to get along. And I know, having wasted an enormous amount of time on people who lived in different continents that it's really, really not wise to invest too much hope, energy, or anything really with somebody that lives far away. Personally, I like meeting people that are fairly close by, less than an hour's traveling time, and that way I can get to know very quickly whether or not it's worth investing any further time in getting to know them.
