Biscous Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I was out of town last week for work. Actually just two states over in Utah. I ended up locking eyes with this gorgeous woman. I got her number and didn't hear from her for two days until she texted me back. I was leaving soon but long story short we ended up having breakfast and making a very serendipitous connection. It was amazing! Lucky for both of us I'm going back to Utah next month for my job. It seems that there could be something there. I think she works from home but her home base is Utah. I can move around and work anywhere so it seems to be a good sign. I'm just wondering if some of these LDRs in this thread are a result of love while traveling. Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hope it works out. I've had at least one LDR and have met a number of quite enthralling ladies while traveling but was never in the right headspace to do the guy things we're required to do. Most of those occurred during or after my D where I've pretty much sworn off women. I can recognize the potential but acting on it, as I'm required to do in my generation, is a no-go. Most recent was a retired TWA flight attendant I sat next to flying home from a friend's place back east. She was in her late 60's but had the elegance and appearance of those movie stars of the 40's. Wow. Long single with a daughter and a couple grandkids. TBH, I didn't remember we were flying until the wheels hit when we landed. I think we chattered away right through dinner and for nearly four hours. Not unusual for me but this one happened to be single. That's rare. However, I got the sense she liked being single to enjoy her free flight benefits and traveling the world. I know I would. Heh.

dreamingoftigers Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 My husband, almost eleven years ago. But we ended up travelling together and I took him home with me. Sure beats those crappy snowglobes. Link to post Share on other sites
Shanex Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I've had, and it was mostly negative experience. LDR is in my opinion 250+ miles. And it can be a lot more. Imagine some Florida gal in love with a Vietnamese... Usually the absence of your beloved one become all but a problem. I can fall in love but if I can't travel once or twice a month overseas to see a woman I'm deeply interested in, in the end it's best to break up. I have a friend who was married to someone thousand miles away (literally a different continent) and it turned out that both my friend and his wife got involved in ''affairs'' at home. Depend on the distance and how often you'll raise to the occasion of seeing the person. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
len51 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I used to travel on business 4 months a year and been to 21 countries and 26 States. I have lots of stories about women I met in my travels. The best one for me is meeting a rich older but beautiful women who was in a private car on a train in England. She saw me walking past her compartment and looking at her so she invited me in. She took my phone number and called me to invite me to dinner at the fanciest restaurant I was ever at. All upper class people. She told me her story. Her rich husband was having an affair with a much younger woman and she was leaving him. She was out for revenge and I was her path to it. She invited me to her London flat and she did all that she could to prove that she was better than any young woman I had sex with. She did not want me to stay because she was having second thoughts about revenge sex. So she called me a cab and I went back to my flat. It was like one of those old time movies with the mysterious and classy women on a train who you meet and then have a brief and torrid affair with. The second best travel story is when I met my wife on a train and then got engaged 3 weeks later. She is still married to me 40+ years later. Not as exciting because she was a virgin.

justwhoiam Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Some nice stories out there I'm just wondering if some of these LDRs in this thread are a result of love while traveling. Yes. He was in love with me even before meeting me, but I fell for him while he was travelling to Europe for work (he's American). That happened almost 5 years ago, and we got together the following year. We're still in love. Link to post Share on other sites
