What would you do for love?

[Cold_H2O]

Many of us know Shamu's story. He left SoCal to head East for the woman he loves.

Now Justleesa has shared that she relocated to Hawaii to be with the man of her dreams.

My question
What changes would you be willing to make if you found that special someone and you did not live in the same town? State? Time Zone?

Would you say too much work.. and not start the relationship?
Keep it on a friends only level?
Ask them to relocate and you stay put?
Pack your belongings and take the risk?
Have both of you pack and start over together some place new?

Also interested in hearing from you married/committed folks.
I know there are a few more stories out there just waiting to be shared.

Come on this inquiring not blonde mind wants to know (Diva ~ Had to steal your phase, well almost) :D

[drdiver]

Due to the nature of my job(s), I'm unable to relocate. So she would have to relocate or we'd just keep it on a friends level. I currently date a wonderful person (new pics in the member's gallery) and she's in South Austin and I'm in Round Rock (45 minutes or so away) and we often find that too far away from each other.

...only 45 minutes!!! Dude you are spoiled!!!

[Trimix2dive]

Impossible to answer the question without finding "the" person.

[wb416]

I would strongly consider leaving a job doing something I absolutely love doing... but I'm unlikely to find this kind of flexibility or something I enjoy with this level of satisfaction anywhere else... I hate dichotomies!!! :(

[Bob]

...only 45 minutes!!! Dude you are spoiled!!!

Try 5,000 miles :(

[BlueDolphin]

Try 5,000 miles :(

Bob, you should share your story


As for myself, it is moot as I have totally given up.

[wb416]

Try 5,000 miles :(

Now THAT is a tragedy!!! Sorry to hear that dude!! :(

[pennypue]

Bob, you should share your story


As for myself, it is moot as I have totally given up.
Never ever, ever, EVER give up!!!!

I think you just can't be looking all the time, but always be ready anyway.:dancing::girlkiss:

[Bob]

Now THAT is a tragedy!!! Sorry to hear that dude!! :(

It's not too much of a problem. She will be here soon:D

[Marvel]

It's not too much of a problem. She will be here soon:D

That's great, Bob! I wish you both all the best!

I've got a co-worker with a girlfriend in the Phillipines. Although they've been involved for over 4 years, they've never met. Email, phone, webcam are the only ways they have communicated. He's planning on going there in April to meet her for the first time. If all goes well, they'll follow through on their plans for her to move to the US & them to get married.

As for me, I've actually picked up & moved a couple of times for love. I don't really know if I'd be open to doing that anymore.There was a time that I was contemplating moving to Sweden to be with someone- I was even learning the language but in the end, it just didn't happen. :( I've been there a couple of times though & I always say that if I could live anywhere on earth, it would be in Sweden- it just feels like home to me- don't ask me why.

[TheSassyRabbit]

it just feels like home to me- don't ask me why.

Why?? :D


For the right person I would relocate.... but I'm not sure I would give up my network and support system of friends and family to do that if I weren't already married, or moving as soon as I got married.

Good question COld.... any particular reason you're asking???? Inquiring brunettes want to know ::p:

[KO24]

....Cold, whats going on???...Inquiring brunettes want to know....
I would move, in a heart beat! If the person were right (if I felt it and knew it) but then I like to move and go to new places. Kinda like that phrase...what would you try if you knew you could not fail...
Just my 2PSI.
K

[underwaterangel]

Well I can only claim 1,500 miles or so. (Florida definately looks better & better, esp with this cold weather. Brr) I have moved for love and would do so again if the person is right. I am not that attached to NJ and have little family here to hold me. But I am not rushing into anything either.

My son doesn't care where we live (guess we are just gypsies at heart) and would love to live where he could swim year round.

[Walter]

I always say that if I could live anywhere on earth, it would be in Sweden- it just feels like home to me- don't ask me why.

It must be the weather, we all know how much you love the cold.

[wb416]

It's not too much of a problem. She will be here soon:D

Wonderful!!

[Cold_H2O]

Sassy & KO24 ~ I have known Shamu's story, followed his travel across the US.
(Mike I loved it thanks again for sharing it with us).

Then Justleesa joined ZD and shared that she met a great guy and moved to Hawaii to be with him.

StarfishSandy moved to New York to be with her guy.

I got to thinking (I really should not do that often) are these three brave unique people or would others do what they have done?

Is it common to meet someone who does not live near you and somehow you find a way to make it work?
Even if that means one of you must change your life?

I thought I would toss it out there see how others feel.

[Randy956]

I'd call someone who lives five thousand miles away GU.

Geographically Undersirable. :)

But seriously, It's hard enough getting to know someone who lives close by, how could we really get to know someone long distance? I know it's possible based on some of these real life stories however, I'm a little sceptical.

Perhaps if I met that person we call "soul-mate" I'd have a different attitude about LD relationships and people living happily ever after.

[Bob]

I will admite, it's not easy but it's worth it. But hey....Delta, AA and Cingular love me.

[Randy956]

you're racking up the FF miles. :)

What I need is a woman who loves me and who lives in FL or Hawaii! Then maybe I'd move. :)

[drdiver]

..only 45 minutes!!! Dude you are spoiled!!!

Yer absolutely right!!! I am. And greedy, too! (Bein' a Pyrate and all)

Mates is supposed to be near at hand, to help with rigging, conning the ship and splicing the mainbrace.

Not on some ship 5000 miles away. Arrrggggh!!!

[Luciana]

Well, i can't avoid saying sth about this thread.
Fisrt, excuse-me for my mistakes, I speak portuguese very well, but English... I'm still learning!! (lots of work to do!!!)
If you asked me one year ago, what would I do for love? I would ask u another question: "What would love do for me?".
Today, I can tell u what love has done for me... Well, soon I'll be leaving Brazil to go to US, to live my lovestory! I'm leaving behind career, family and friends, just because I had realized sth: I belive in love!
If u ask me if I'm sure he is 'Mr. Right', I would answer u that I dont know, but I will never know, if I don't take my chance.
I'm pretty sure about just one thing: I love him with all my heart and soul!
That's it!
Some of you already know I'm talking about me and Bob, don't you?

[TheSassyRabbit]

Luciana-

That's great! If you move that far, let's just say that you have the full support of all of the women on this site to kick some tail if Bob isn't everything he says he is and more when you get here!

What a cool leap of faith. I'm looking forward to finding someone worth that leap of faith!

When will you be moving?

And, by the way, your English is fine!!

[Cold_H2O]

Luciana ~ I agree with Sassy, if Bob gives you any trouble.. the ladies of ZD will deal with him
(Not that I think he will, we think Bob is wonderful)

I am glad to know that you are willing to take your chance. You will never know unless you try.
It is a big step, a leap of faith if you will. Glad to know that many are willing to take that leap and see how it turns out.

I also think your English is fine.

Yes Luciana... yours is VERY understandable!!

[Luciana]

Thanks Cold and Sassy! And I'll let u know if Bob gives me any troble! But, I think he will be just fine, anyway I'm bringing my handcuffs... (ha, ha, ha, ha)

[Walter]

Luciana, they're lying to you, your English needs work, but it should come along just fine once you're living in the US. I think you're a brave lady and I admire you and Bob for being willing to take a chance.

I'm pretty sure about just one thing: I love him with all my heart and soul!
That's it!

Darlin', that's a great start! Good luck to you both!

[drdiver]

I know Bob and he's a class act. You couldn't have a better man. And I say as we all, do--Good luck!!! America was made by people taking a risk--welcome to the crew! I have many brasileiros and brasiliera friends and hope to dive with you and Bob someday!

[Bob]

Thanks Cold and Sassy! And I'll let u know if Bob gives me any troble! But, I think he will be just fine, anyway I'm bringing my handcuffs... (ha, ha, ha, ha)

Handcuffs??:confused:

[drdiver]

Surprise, Bob!!!!

[wb416]

Surprise, Bob!!!!

Dang... that's a nasty surprise... especially if you wake up and your cuffed to the bed!! Doh! :D

[KO24]

Bob~
You are a lucky guy to have a gal travel all this way for you. And the handcuffs...well, they are just a small problem...but perhaps fun! :)
GOod luck to you both.

[pennypue]

And here I was thinking that the handcuffs were a pleasant surprise. :flirt:

[underwaterangel]

I thought so too Penny....

[scubajim]

Bob's probably a Kool guy cuz he's a diver.......but you should bring your handcuff's with you just in case.

[pennypue]

I thought so too Penny....
I think I have some shopping to do...

Velcro restraints are IN.


No that I know anything at all about these.

that means it's just latent... and might not take much to coax back out!! :D

[Shamu]

Many of us know Shamu's story. He left SoCal to head East for the woman he loves.

Hey, cool, I just noticed this thread! I have somewhat of an adventurous side, so I know moving for love is not something everyone (or most people) would be willing to do. But Luciana echoes the sentiment we had at the time: if you don't give it a try, you'll never know. Or, more to the point, if you don't give it a try, you'll always wonder "what if?"

However, those who are considering such a big step, or think they're absolutely willing to do it, do so with both eyes open. When we discussed this big step, Bahamasita and I agreed that we both knew this might not work out, that things between us might be totally different once the newness wore off, especially since every time we saw each other, it was like a mini-vacation -- not exactly representative of "real life." We also agreed that our feelings for each other made it worth trying, for the reasons in the paragraph above.

If you feel and think (important to use both emotion and intellect in a decision like this) that it's right, then it's worth giving it a shot to see if it's "the one." But consider all angles, so you fully understand what you're giving up. I wasn't that happy in my last job, but I loved the city where I lived. The job aspect made it much easier to move (and I found an awesome job out here) -- but I miss access to diving year-round, and right now I'm missing the prime Baja camping season. So it is a sacrifice, especially if you leave behind lots of friends and family. Hopefully when you get there, and see what day-to-day life is like with your special someone, it'll be worth everything. In my case, the adjustment may have been harder than I expected, but I have no regrets. :wub:

[Oh, and buy stock in the airline you use to visit your sweetie! I wish I'd bought jetBlue stock!]

[Bob]

Thanks Cold and Sassy! And I'll let u know if Bob gives me any troble! But, I think he will be just fine, anyway I'm bringing my handcuffs... (ha, ha, ha, ha)

Don't worry sweetie, You can leave yours in cuiaba'. I have a couple of pairs of them here....roflmao

[underwaterangel]

Right there with ya Diva. After my last long term relationship broke up, I was devastated. Then I realized all I had put aside or given up for him. No more. I make sacrifices for my son, but I try very hard to live my life my way now. Took scuba lessons, got certified (and what a nightmare THAT was) and got a tattoo in October that permanently imprinted my motto for me so I never forget. "Carpe Diem" (Seize the day) which I try to do, regardless of what I am doing or how I am feeling. (Granted I thought about another motto, but couldn't find the Latin or Gaelic translation for "Men Suck" :D Figured something more positive was better anyway.... tho I have told people it says "Bite Me" when they ask. roflmao)

And now, I have taken a chance with someone I met thru "the other board" who makes me feel beautiful, intelligent, desirable and loved. Would I have done that before? Maybe... maybe not. Will the long distance thing work? Who knows. But better to try and fail than not to try at all.

[ZENDIVA]

UWA good for you........I guess basically if I find this : http://www.zendiving.com/forums/showpost.php?p=15308&postcount=42

I'd like to share a email someone sent me a few years ago....It's called " Life and Death "

There was a very cautious man,
who never romped and played
He never smoked, never drank
nor never kissed a maid.
So when he passed away,
his insurance was denied.
For since he never lived,
They claimed he never DIED.

Very true Bob.........strange too...cause this thread actually had me think...and had to admit....it's been over 13 years since anyone's had my heart..........I mean, I love my children, my family...friends....but there's not been anyone........you know...........long time...didn't realize just how long it had been.........

ok I just depressed myself now LOL

[Cold_H2O]

I was hoping this thread would get people thinking.

Diva ~ Cheer up missy.. no being depressed on a thread I started.. Not allowed.
Remind yourself of all the good things in those 13 years. If that does not work.. I just have one word for you...

UTILA

[sidwise]

With a catchy headline like "What would you do for love?" I had to follow the thread through. Wide spectrum of answers. Typical for this crowd. (and why I keep lurking here)

But the first thing that went through my mind was that Meat Loaf song from back in the '90s: I would do an-y-thing for love, but I won't do that.

[starfish sandy]

Guilty as charged. I met Dan on a dive trip of singles in Cozumel. I fell for him like a school girl! :) We did the long distance thing for almost a year and after my son graduated, I was lucky enough to transfer with my company, I packed up my 18 pound cat and drove 1800 miles to get from Dallas to Long Island.

You do worry about how it really will be - as like Shamu said - when you see each other once a month - it is like a mini-vacation - but I had to go with my heart. I have no regrets - I miss my friends and my son very much - oh AND MEXICAN FOOD - (oh and warmer weather) We have a great time - the laughter is amazing - the only hissing in the last 5 months has been the cat - he's not real fond of Dan's 90 pound black lab!!!!

Bob - best of luck my friend with your new relationship!!!!

Frequent flyer miles ARE your friend - all those visits help get me to Turks and Caicos for 49.00!!

[ZENDIVA]

That's nice Sandy

*smile*

[Bob]

Sandy, you and Dan were made for each other. I'm happy you guys are together. That last day in Cozy was the most fun I've had on a dive trip :) Remember the jeep?:abadsmile

[Justleesa]

How did I miss this?

:D

When I met Roger...I wasn't looking...I was living in Germany, separated, had a new job (translating computer instructions from German to English) and my kids to think of.

After the first day of being together I knew it...and he did too....this is sooo right.

We started to talk about who would visit who next and it looked impossible, to keep a relationship alive with so many miles between us that would limit our time to 2-3 visits a year...

So after many thoughts, coversations and tears...I moved. With our online time we've been "together" 5 years and I wouldn't miss a minute of it.

[TheSassyRabbit]

But the first thing that went through my mind was that Meat Loaf song from back in the '90s: I would do an-y-thing for love, but I won't do that.
ahhh... but you just did :-)

[Zendiver]

These are some awesome stories and fairy-tales. Sandy, I am so happy for you. I had heard that you and Dan hit it off, but I wondered where you moved off to. Congratulations to the both of you.

With CJ and Mike, all of us here were able to live this one and we still are. Mike kept all of us informed about his every move across the country and even the preparation before hand. I damn near cried when I read about him giving his baby (cat) away. It did actually bring tears to my eyes. WE are lucky to have both Mike and Bahamasita among our family here and share with them on a day to day basis.

Now there is Bob and Luciana. I have talked to Bob some and I can honestly say that when he starts talking about Luciana, his typing really sucks. (sorry bob, it's true :)). I guess it would be from the excitement of thinking about her that gets his fingers all fidgity. I still haven't heard the story of how they met or it all came to pass, but I am sure that I will one day.

For all of you, thank you for sharing your most special yet feared part of your life.

[Bob]

C'mon ZD...give me a break. One day, you will know how difficult it will be to wear reading glasses and try to type. It's a pain in the A*S. But you're right, there are some amazing stories going on here in Zendiving. It's going to make a very strong family on this board. Bob

[Zendiver]

Sorry buddy, but I honestly don't think it has anything to do with the reading glasses. It's Luciana...common, admit it. We are all family here. :) Ya know we love ya man.

[Bob]

ZD...I promise, it's the glasses...the glasses :abadsmile

Nice thread. Donna and I have been married for over 26 years. We moved to Virginia 4 years ago because I changed jobs. Donna tried to get enough work to keep her busy and interested, but just couldn't find enough to keep her interested. A year and a half ago Donna went back to Florida to teach at Florida Tech in Melbourne. They wanted her back since the day she left, so she got a promotion and a raise to go back there. And now she is also Department Chair for the flight program at the School of Aeronautics. So for a year and a half, we have been apart for most of that time. We meet up either here or there every few weeks and we talk to each other at least once every day, but you know, it's not enough. Some days I think I'll go nuts. I have nearly quit my job numerous times and just left Virginia. The problem may be solved for me shortly since NASA has basically quit doing aeronautics research. My job may go away very shortly. If it does, I intend to just head back to Florida. It's been an adventure.

[Justleesa]

Hi Dennis!

I know that it has been a hard time for you guys...and it's good to hear that it might be over soon :D
Give Donna a hug for me!!

That IS a tough situation. I hope it works out well for both of you and soon. Travel didn't do so well for me. The last year of my marriage I spent about 180 days in hotel rooms doing training for a Canadian software company and it took it's toll. I finally left the company to try and go self-employed, but it was too late.

Don't consider myself an old fogie....

I'm

Old enough to know better....and young enough to enjoy it

[underwaterangel]

Heck I was that at 15, Diva! Only I can enjoy it MORE now :D

[pennypue]

A lot of times I'm the oldest around (especially at my work) but no one suspects it, or believes it. I've actually been asked for my id to prove it. I'm forty-two and I don't care!!!!!

Now where's those damned wrinkles????

Right there with ya Diva. After my last long term relationship broke up, I was devastated. Then I realized all I had put aside or given up for him. No more. I make sacrifices for my son, but I try very hard to live my life my way now. Took scuba lessons, got certified (and what a nightmare THAT was) and got a tattoo in October that permanently imprinted my motto for me so I never forget. "Carpe Diem" (Seize the day) which I try to do, regardless of what I am doing or how I am feeling. (Granted I thought about another motto, but couldn't find the Latin or Gaelic translation for "Men Suck" :D Figured something more positive was better anyway.... tho I have told people it says "Bite Me" when they ask. roflmao)

And now, I have taken a chance with someone I met thru "the other board" who makes me feel beautiful, intelligent, desirable and loved. Would I have done that before? Maybe... maybe not. Will the long distance thing work? Who knows. But better to try and fail than not to try at all.

If you still need it vir fellico=men suck (latin)

[underwaterangel]

If you still need it vir fellico=men suck (latin)
Oh sure... now you tell me....

but thinking about it... and looking at it.... :evil_4:
probably best I went with Carpe Diem....
Less chance of it being taken the wrong way....

If ya know what I mean... roflmao
