I believe that one should already be established where they would like to live before even thinking about trying to move or relocate for "love". Either you have love with a person or not. Because you never know if you're making a mistake. If one is going to move somewhere, make sure you're going for the right reasons. I am not moving have way around the world over a guy I don't even really know. I personally would not because you're running great risks of not just a breakup, but endangering your life. I rather visit places first before making that big commitment. And the person should already want to get married to you and if they can, come to get you themselves. I personally would not move in with a person to who I am not already married to. And I would already have a small place in mind first before even thinking about marriage.
I mean you've been talking for awhile and in love with each other
That doesn't guarantee anything. If you're not already walking down the aisle, you lose not only your job, your family and friends, your childhood, or just uprooting yourself from where you are, you run the risk of getting lost. I wouldn't suggest falling in love. That is just hormones. Love is a choice. And if one wants to take that serious step, it requires serious moves and gaurnetee there is a future. If there is no guarantee of it, then one decides to either pull back or proceed with caution. Unless you already wanted to be there, it may be a waste of time and much heartache. People are adults and do what they want. But I never dated or been involved. This would also be a major factor too. However, if one asked my advice, I would tell them to be serious because, at the end of the day, both parties are responsible if it doesn't work out. I for one need to know if there is a future. Talking is not enough. Like in industries, you must already have your foot in the door. For me, as I said, I rather not date somebody far away and I am not in the same location. I prefer that I date where I am already living at. For an example. I am not dating a man in Scottland if I am not already planning on living there in the first place. If I am looking to date a man in Hawaii, I am going to move to Hawaii before even thinking about finding a man, and already is secured. That is the smart way to handle it before again, your just running the risk of further problems.
Never be in love. That's kiddy and teen stuff. By now you should already be emotionally mature to understand what is required for you, otherwise, the risk for breaking up over petty things is higher. I rather be smart and wise, than reckless and foolish. That is a lot of money and time your investing with a person. You need to make sure he is your one and only and be only your one and only.
If it was the best for both of us location-wise, absolutely. If where he lives is better than where I live and we agree on that, or vice versa.
I like that perfect example of compromise
Gee, maybe it's because there are obvious observable phenotypical differences between people of different geographical heritages that we've collectively deluded ourselves into thinking don't exist.
It's funny, because the people who are shitting their pants at this revelation already acknowledge that fact with exactly one trait, skin color, and then typically get mad at you if you claim to be "colorblind".
Of course, none of this means that you have to stop judging people based on their character. It's madness to try to claim otherwise.
That was not the topic I thought I was replying to.
Lol its okay
Yes i would. cos you never know where your soul mate is in this world.. would do anything for love
I like that answer i totally agree
I belive your soul mates somewhere in this worldand and u just need to find them where ever they are. if it means relocating to be with them then thats what u have to do for love. proves how much u love them and want to b with them in my opinon

I have, yes. Upended my whole life for him.
I believe in love.
What a blessed man!
@JustinTimberlegs Thank you!
It's depends on how far am I moving for my future girl. Is it completely far away like a foreign country to the point I can barely see my family again, probably not I do want to find my idea girl but I still love my family to much to move out of the country. Also I wouldn't know how to adapt this new country I would have to learn a new language and everything.
But if it only a different city or state I probably wouldn't mind considering most of my extended family also lives in different states but I would at first like to experiment before making that heavy decision. Like let say my future wife has plans for us to relocate to let say Boston, Massachusetts. Can I at least first go out there for a vacation a couple times to see if it is a place I wouldn't mind permanently living in.
Yeah I couldn't leave the country but across the country yes
Just imagine how difficult immigration much be, you gotta get citizenship. You need to learn the country's language, gotta find a job in that foreign land, yeah I am actually nervous just thinking about that.
Yeah but its possible
Yes it is
Absolutely, I would. As long as we would be financially ok until I found a suitable job, definitely.
I know he would too as he kind of already has done that. He chooses to stay here more than he has to because we have a committed relationship. He could rather travel back home more often but stays here. 😊
Absolutely
Nope because i believe that the woman is the one who relocates for her husband because that's the norm...
1st of all a woman follows the husband and not the opposite way and she will hold his family name after marriage...
2nd usually a man is the ones who works to provide ans feed his wife and family, which means if the wife is going to be a housewife, she won't be tied to her job location..
3rd personally everything that i own and have, also my job are all here, if i'm going to throw all these, i might end up without nothing and wouldn't be able to offer my wife and family any thing!
If i had to leave everyone for her than i have no problem but i can't leave the sources of our lives which will provides for us a stable life!
Yes, but I think other things would have to change. Like for work, I'd have to have a good idea that I could make my career a success in the new area. I think we would both have to be pretty serious about the relationship.
Many girls I meet don't seem interested in moving out of state, even out of the area. And with me being kind of a traveler, that's going to be hard to progress if they refuse to move, and I can't find much around here.
I personally want to move out of state. The market isn't good for anyone with my skill set. So if I were to stay here, I'd either have to travel for work (and she's got to be ok with that), or she would have to help make things easier for me to want to stay.
I would only after long consideration. With our modern day of internet dating, this is an issue. I've known of people who did relocate for love, only for it to end not-so-good. It is hard to get to know someone all that well ahead of time, if it is that long-distance.
It's according to who it's more important to. Does it mean someone loses a lucrative, career decimating job? Is there a giant, close family someone would be leaving behind. There is no black and white about such a move.
A lot of factors have to be weighed. Than again, for some people, they'd move at the drop of a hat!
I'm not sure, I did before and it didn't end well. Maybe if I was very very sure of the long term prospects, but I'm a lot more hesitant nowadays.
I thought we were gonna grow old together but that still fell apart so for that to happen again I would have to be really really convinced that it's something real.
Yeah, as long as we lived somewhere nice and all, especially if they were the perfect partner:
Describing My Ideal, Dream Girl
Of course!!!
If by relocate you mean moving to another country, my answer is yes.
It's a tough road but I'm willing to go through it, if I really like someone:)
*country or place
Either across the country or another country
Yeah
My wife said she needed a new lease on life something completely different. We both grow up in a city of 400,000. Now we live in a town of 2,400. I have a new work industry. And we have a new way of life. Anything to benefit my family.
I would relocate, yes.
I would but it really depends how long I’ve been seeing the guy for and how serious we are. With my work (I’m in the military) it’s hard to move around to places you want to go. So I’d only go through that kind of hassle and paperwork for someone I knew would stick around for a long time :).
Unless I die or get fired I’m not going to quit my job, this girl that I used to talk to had told me that she has too much to leave behind so she was not about to leave anybody or anything behind for me. Family is all I got and a majority of the time it doesn’t even feel that way.
Yes. I considered it just last year before the thing imploded. But the distance didn't matter at the time. She did. It's just unfortunate that it went the way it did.
Yes and I'm taking my dad with me. I dont abandon my own and he's the only family I got.
That's sweet
That's awesome im super loyal to as long as they don't fuck me over
i dont have the capacity to fuck somebody over. My whole life that's been my story. I want to be fully committed to the person I'm with. I'd do everything I could to show her I loved her and wanted the best for her, and gladly lay down my life to protect her. I just can't with these fly by night relationships, that's never been what i've been about. I'm a wolf, I pair bond to my mate and die with my mate.
I completely agree I've only been in long relationships my last lasting 11 years. I prefer one guy to spend my time with have amazing sex with and build a life together
You will find the right woman who's also waiting until Marge
Marriage
Yeah here I'm talking to a very nice man and again we are on the same page
I would relocate for someone I loved I know I would. It wouldn't be an easy decision and it would also require a fair amount of discussion and all that stuff. But if I truly loved them I'm sure we could work it out.
I should have said that I know long distance is a thing but I don't know if that's a thing I'd want to do for a long. It seems like it would be very difficult. More so if I loved them I'd want to see them often..
Agreed
I admire people who are strong enough to do long distance. But I know that I'm not.
Yeah I would only relocate across the country
Yeah same maybe if it was good for both I'd consider a country swap.
Yeah states for me
Yes, absolutely! I hate the place where I live so I know I would be happy elsewhere. But of course it would depend on the country/city/town. There are places that I wouldn't go because I'm black or because I'm a woman.
Yes. I don’t like the city where I currently live right now so I’d be down to move to a different state or city lol.
Im with you
I have thought about it but when push came to pull I chickened out... I still care for him but I couldnt trust him to move to a different country and trust he cared me not looking to sell me into the sex industry or something
It would be hard for me to do this. My job allows me to live anywhere in the USA, but it would be hard to just pick up everything and leave. I am far enough from family and can still drive there if needed
Probably in the past I would have but not anymore, I'm very established when I am and have no plans on going anywhere for now, and I'm not looking for love at the moment either.
I would relocate anyplace in the United States and maybe some places in Canada.
That would be french wouldn't it! Im with you probably wouldn't leave us but would move to a different state
Let's hear it
A Swedish fella named, Lars, went to a brain surgeon.
Doc: How can I help you.
Lars: I want you to make me Norwegian
Doc: I can't do that. Have you thought of just moving there and living like them?
Lars: I don't fucking want to move there, I just want to be Norwegian.
Doc: Well then, there's nothing I can help you with.
Lars: Bullshit! I know there's an experimental surgery, and I want you to perform it on me.
Doc: Well, yes, your right, but it's rather drastic. I'd have to remove one third of your brain.
Lars: Go for it!
On the evening of the surgery, the doc stopped off at the local watering hole, and tossed back a few tequila shots.
During the surgery, he was flirting with the OR nurses, and not paying attention to what he was doing. He accidentally cut Lars' brain in half!!!
All the staff agreed to just keep this under their hats, and never tell anyone. The doc stitched up Lars, and hoped for the best.
Five months later, Lars began coming out of his coma.
Doc: Lars, can you hear me?
Lars: Yes
Doc: Can you see me?
Lars: Yes
Doc: How do you feel?
Lars: Pretty good, eh!
Unbeknownst to me, I was telling this joke to a group of Canadians! I sensed that something was a bit off, so I said
Amy: I sure hope none of you are from...
Girl: Nanaimo?
Oops! LOL
A chiropractor told me that joke. When you live 20 minutes from the Canadian border, you learn to appreciate Canadian jokes.
Another guy talked me into going to a comedy club in an Irish restaurant, inside a shopping mall.
One of the comedians said: "Any Canadians in the house?" (and the comedian raised his hand in the air, to give them a hint of what to do)
About five hands in the audience were raised. The comedian then shouted very loudly:
"THEN GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE AND GO PICK UP YOUR FUCKING GARBAGE YOU LEFT IN THE PARKING LOT" I thought the roof was going to fall, because of the roaring laughter of the Americans.
And the five Canadians faces were beet red, because they knew it was true. They throw garbage everywhere when they come to America. But Canadian are good people when they stay on their side of the border, so you'll be just fine.
@Amy7777 There no such thing as the Canadian language, they speak both English and French.
I’ll permanently move as long as they live in GA, NC, TX, FL, MS, or TN. If they live anywhere else, i’ll temporarily relocate for no more than a year
If it would benefit us yes, if I'm in that spot I'll say we need to look at what is best for both of us. But if that was me relocating then yes.
i think that if i also felt i could see my family and friends when i needed to i guess i would agree to that too.
Same I couldn't move to far away a lot of my friend are family so I will miss them
Yes I would, but the hard part would be knowing for sure it would work out. Don't want to be moving back after a huge fight 3 days in
At the moment, this is all I've got left of my history and my family.
If I end up losing this house, too, I guess I'm free to go wherever the hell I want to go!
The major bitch is gonna be having to move 54,000 records!!
No I picked a hot Sweden girl and she wanted to see her I said Forget it.
Even though she was a 10 out of 10 chick.
Women aren’t worth it anymore.
I had to leave I was busy taking a shit after hearing your bulshit. Hey brah, ever get your shit pushed in?
https://youtu.be/x1TjUNyn4Ww
Usually they move because I already moved to a better place everybody's trying to move to a better place
It depends on how long we've been together for, how committed I am to our future etc.
No.. I need to be able to take care of my parents and I have some good friends I don’t want to leave behind.
Nope it's Southern California or nothing i will not move to other parts of Cali either so only areas i will live in is LA, LA County, IE, OC thats it and their all close lol
Relocate? where? From one room to another?;Dyea, why not for aslong as it is in a same house😂
On a serious note. i would consider this idea if i really feel that girl in my heart!
When a man moves for a woman she will immediately lose respect for him. I have seen this several times.
Was gonna do that for this girl in FL. I loved her more than anything. But then she chose a different guy and cut all contact with me. So would I NOW? Nope. No woman is worth that time or money.
I always said that I wouldn't, but then I did.
Didn't work out and part of it was where I moved to. However, still had new experiences and met new friends by moving
I would for the right lady
If she genuinely loves me, is open minded,
flirts and cares for me
then I would live with her for longer and serious relationship
Nah because what if someone better came along im happier where I am 💕💕💕
I would have too get too know that person very well but maybe yeah:)!
Different state or country then no. I'm not leaving my mom, grandma and family behind.
I did it and we are not longer together but I’m loving my new life
I have relocated for love in the past, however it wasn’t another person that I loved.
If I really felt connected and loved her I guess I would.
@Tiptoetamm I would never relocate for love because being separated from my friends & feeling of homesickness would drive me insane.
Without a doubt. I have nothing here more important than someone I'd love.
When you find your true love you’ll move mountains
I do agree with some of the other answers as far as knowing them for a good while like he’s come and visited you a few times and you’ve visited him a few times also because if you haven’t had a relationship for at least 8 months if not a year and had several face to face visits and at least spend an entire week in one visit so you can actually know if you even love them and if however is doing the moving had kids I’d double the time in a relationship and face to face visits because uprooting your kids is a big deal. I didn’t realize that this question was something you’re going through right now. One last thing. I’m not saying you can’t fall in love at first site. I’m just saying take your time to be sure it’s really love since you’re talking about moving a good distance
Absolutely Ann's that's exactly what I'm doing. I didn't rush things in my last relationship and we were together 11 years until he changed
Regardless you’re a grown ass woman and your opinion is just as important as anyone else’s and really more important in your world. So I hope the best for you and yours and hope he knows what a lucky man he is
Only if she already had a place and gave me a key. I don't think I'll ever have love, though.
Depends to where. If an urban or suburban area no chance. But if its a rural area 100% any day
That's awesome I live in the city now and hate it
I would do it if we got married lol
I definitely would. Why not.
For the right one I’d seriously consider it.
I don't think love is worth that
Nope I couldn’t be away from my momma.
Sure tbh it's not that great where I live anyway
I would do anything I can for love.
NO !! Situations change.
Only love can steer you right.
there was a time i would have, but not anymore.
Absolutely
I wish I did
