When I first started dating online, I was very naive.  I didn’t want to eliminate anyone because of distance.  After all, what if the person living in California was “the one” for me?

Well, as time went on, I eliminated anyone who was more than three hours away.  After all, if I couldn’t drive there in a reasonable amount of time, what kind of a relationship could we possible have?

But soon, that 3 hour drive was reduced to a two hour drive.  And then that two hour drive was reduced to a one hour drive.  Now, that one hour drive is reduced to the “local calling area”.

Sleepless in Seattle was a fun movie but had little to do with reality.  If you can’t find anyone closer than the west coast, then you need to see a therapist because you have some major hangups.
