As for not respecting a man who would "pick up and move" for a woman. Men have launced legendary battels, over a woman. Men kill other men, over a woman. So; "picking up and moving" , if the man really likes you, isn't exactly a whim. It would be a thought-out 'very big deal'. But, still, not as big a deal as war or manslaughter. Like I said before, you seem to be doing just fine, alone ...............bobford

Seriously, it's hard to get to know someone who lives far away. Anyone can sound good in emails or on the phone. The guy in the next county that I dated was great in email...we were like twins separated at birth. We liked all the same things, had similar ideas about things, wanted the same things out of life. Once we got together, it just didn't click. We are about 2 hours apart, and after a while it got to the point where it wasn't worth the time or gas to see each other. We had both been totally honest about ourselves, but what worked in email didn't work in person.

Homesteading is the kind of lifestyle where you REALLY have to be on the same page as your partner. My ex and I tried to live separate lives, but it doesn't work. If the person I was considering was further away, it would be even harder to get to know them.
