Any couples here at Maiotaku?

LDR's require two very mature people and reasonable time frames to where you can see each other in person. If were talking a few hours drive, that is one thing. Several states away? That takes a bit more dedication.

My first relationship started as a LDR. We dated for a year online and she was from New York while i was from Cali. Worked out well as we eventually moved in together and dated for 3 years in person but the ending was bleh lol. My 3rd relationship was LDR also and we dated online for about almost 2 years and then almost a year in person and chyeah. Essentially, it's possible to make LDR work. It takes dedication and determination. The trust you build through a LDR and bond, I BELIEVE to be a lot stronger than the typical relationship. But it takes two to tango and mutual effort.

I haven't found anyone to even try to talk to, and I live pretty close to NYC. I think part of the problem for me is that I'm 27, and about 90% of the people showing up on my Best Matches list are 19 to 21. I basically have no interest in trying LDRs for the reasons Cecil mentioned. Eventually it would come down to someone moving a long distance, and I don't want to deal with the logistics of someone either trying to find a job before moving, or moving and then being dependent on the other until they can find a new job. If I met someone and it turned into an LDR, I'd look into it, but starting a relationship with that hanging over your head is a heavy burden on the relationship right from the start.

Most girls who are usually 19-21 usually don't mind dating guys who are at least still in their 20s. At least that's what I have seen. It's as I said, it takes two to tango and mutual effort. If they're willing to move down and try to find work or w/e. You've got to help them. I'm pretty sure it's ideal that everyone wants a person whose independent but sometimes they need that little help. Another main issue is, coming onto a Dating website, almost every possible situation leads to a LDR anyway. The only way to guarantee a non-LDR is to actually go out and meet people.

Stupid double post. Personally for me, I have no issues with a girl needing help if we're both agreeing on wanting to be closer to each other.

I found my current girlfriend here. Funny story really, she made an account at first only to find female friends with which to go to some event. Now we're together.
