Is that sarcasm? I can't always tell with you? :tongue:
I could be trite and say that true love comes to you, that happened with me/us and it is part of our compatibility that we met in an alpine environment that we are both enthralled with. True Love coming to you is a rare and wonderful thing. :smile: I've worked hard for everything I have in life it never occurred to me this would be much different.
I would move to be with a true love, but there are some caveats, there are climates that I could truly not be comfortable in; straight up desert and hot and humid or a large city. Good Point! Large cities are a problem for me as I'm a country girl at heart. I do love the cultural offerings and hubbub of cities; but at the end of the day I need to walk barefoot in the grass, hear crickets chirping, go horse back riding etc. I prefer to be no more than an hour drive from the ocean and I like at least 3 seasons. But if I met a great guy I would do the city thing again. I don't know if true love could occur without a commonality of interests and desires. Well that goes without saying! I wouldn't relocate 15 miles just for sex. I'm talking about the whole enchilada.
You were both in the military, thats a little bit different as you expect to relocate every few years anyway.
OMG! You were stationed at Earle Naval Weapons Station in Colts Neck, NJ?!? When? For how long? I grew up near there and my dad worked there for over 30 years! This is truly the smallest planet on earth. :biggrin1::tongue:
Aww, that is so cool! I am so happy for you both! :love: :smlove2:
Now me, I grew up in the country and I LOVE big cities! I really don't like the country all that much. I like the nature part of it but I don't like the lack of cultural opportunities, plus I've had problems with small-town people that I don't seem to have with city people. I suppose for me though it would depend on how manageable the city is. I'm not sure if I could brave NYC, but I've never been there so I don't know (I'd love to visit there though). Indianapolis and San Antonio are both very manageable cities as far as driving, finding where you want to go, etc.
As far as smaller towns go, I'd be willing to move to a college town (like Bloomington, IN), but often the culture in smaller towns is much more limited, and I've had problems dealing with some of the narrow-minded attitudes of people in the small town/area where I grew up. This doesn't seem to be the case in college towns so much, though.
As for climate, that's a factor too. I don't like harsh winters and that's one of the things I love about where I live now - it's November and it's still 80 F!
Another country? Well, I'm not sure about whether I could do that or not. Maybe... depends on the country. Also depends on whether I could find a job myself there. It would pretty much have to be an English-speaking country though. While I'd love to learn another language, I'd have a lot of trouble if I moved somewhere where English was not the primary language.
