How far is too far to find love?
By Randy B. Hecht

Have you ever dated someone who lives in another city? Another state? How about this: Have you ever crossed the equator for a date? I have. My longest long-distance dating experience was with a man who lives 5000-plus miles from my apartment in New York City. True, I had always wanted to visit Chile, and I have several friends in Santiago, but it was the prospect of romance that brought me to that Andean city.
Ultimately romance did not keep me there - but it did give me permanent LDR and spirit-of-adventure bragging rights. I'm particularly fond of the image of myself in my 90s, commiserating with my grand-nieces about their dating exploits, and reminiscing like some faded but still-lusty French or Italian actress: "Have I ever told you about the time I traveled to South America for love?"
More than fantasy
"We are such stuff as dreams are made on," Shakespeare wrote. Well, why should our dreams be confined within city limits? Why should there be any geographic limits at all on what we dream and where we go in pursuit of happiness? And why, conversely, should we spend our lives without our soulmates just because they don't happen to live conveniently close to home?
As international air travel becomes more and more commonplace, global business transactions lead to international social relationships, and being connected to people around the world becomes as easy as logging onto the Web, far away just isn't as far away as it once was. And that's great news for everyone who won't let a little thing like the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean stand between them and a great romance.
It's more common than you think
I knew two Danes who kept up a relationship for a year or two while she lived in New York City and he lived in Africa and Asia. I know a couple who just celebrated their first anniversary - he in Peru, and she in Argentina - and are still going strong. On my last trip to London, I met a man from the US who for months had been hopping the pond every other week for a long weekend with his girlfriend. As for bicoastal relationships or those that straddle a pair of cities within the US, far too many of those have flitted across my radar for me to give a full accounting of them here. And if, on my upcoming trip to Mexico, I meet a guy who sweeps me off my feet, would I consider crossing the border to be with him? I would - in a heartbeat.
Where will you find your love?
It all depends on where you look. If you lost something of great sentimental value, you'd turn your house upside down to find it, wouldn't you? Time to apply the same logic to finding your missing sweetheart - who is out there, somewhere. Don't let a state line or national border stop you from finding your match. You've just got to get out there and search for each other... wherever you may be.
