Guaranteed success in long distance relationships
Cant always assume though, what if they go out of internet or cell phone range? Gutted?
yeah, what if you're wearing it, then text your sweetheart you'll be right there, you get mugged or lose the ring, then later find out your sweetheart has a heart attack and has died?
I wouldnt get the ring, it's too expensive, lol. but it's a neat idea
Posted by tizianiThat settles it, I'm never getting this ring. lol
What if they ask you "do you think she's good looking?" you say no, then they look you dead in the eye for the 10th time that week: "Now turn your ring on and answer the question again."
...but since i'm single I'm going to tell all my coupled friends to get it 😈
I wonder how accurate it is compared to a good stethoscope. If it's accurate, I can see how it might help in some cases to detect heart problems - irregular heartbeat and such - that a person might not know about if their partner wasn't listening and noticing something amiss at times.
If live-streaming sex stars wore it and allowed you to "tune in" to their heartbeat, there could be a market for it...

Posted by tizianiYes. Truly loving and special compared to the flowers and chocolates type gestures many people focus on with romance. And how perfect that it involves the heart.Posted by CopperDoveThat would be romantic.

Posted by LonerLoopMuch better! I've been waiting a long time for something like Star Trek beaming to be possible. Until it is, no thanks to LDRs for me except for friendships.
I wish they could come up with something better, like pulling your partner out from the screen and can be together with time limits.
Yeah that will guarantee success in LDR. LOL
Posted by CopperDoveI've always thought of the whole beaming up thing as killing the person being beamed and creating a new life form in their place. pretty harmless to all observers but sucks for the person being beamedPosted by LonerLoopMuch better!

Posted by rabidtalkerAh, that adds to my concerns of what might happen if it were possible. My main concern was incomplete beaming so parts might not transfer over.Posted by CopperDoveI've always thought of the whole beaming up thing as killing the person being beamed and creating a new life form in their place. pretty harmless to all observers but sucks for the person being beamedPosted by LonerLoopMuch better!

I sure wouldn't participate in a clinical trial during testing phases, lol.
Posted by LonerLoopSometimes it works out, and feelings can be based on real things about the person, but I to really determine compatibility you need in-person contact and to see first hand how the potential partner interacts with others and goes about their daily life.Posted by CopperDoveLolPosted by LonerLoopMuch better!

Am I the only one who thinks that LDR are real love. I mean there's no physical and the connection was real. There has got to be rs goals too, of course.
The moment you get to meet your partner, damn...that's a satisfaction one could ever feel. Okay, maybe I'm just crazy. Haha

One success story exception I know of is a couple who corresponded for several years, frequently, and it started as a friendship, and they were both very open with each other and honest people and self aware so they could learn the truth about each other despite the distance. Finally they met and it worked out, but it had taken a long time to get to that place.
Posted by GemStonedWhile you were long distance, did you meet in person a few times?
I was in a LDR.. Me from the city and him from a small town.. we are now happily living together
@LonerLoop
I think that I understand. Yes, if the people involved really take it seriously and keep up the contact, potential can at least be explored and they can figure out if it's worth it to meet at all. But if the people go too long w/o meeting in person and a fantasy builds up too much about how it will be, it can be really hard if it's disappointing in some way in person.
For certain stages in life, it might feel like a better fit than others.
I've been in LDRs twice, but I met the people in person fairly early in, and regularly, plus long phone calls and emails. I would never have agreed to date them w/o knowing them in person first.
For some people, LDR are a way to manage the fact that they can't handle real intimacy with people, so that's a danger.

Posted by LonerLoopPosted by CopperDoveYou do have some good points there. This is why there has got to be rs goals too. You can't go too long without meeting the other person and if that is the case, I would not engaged myself either.

Yeah, some people do have issues like what you mentioned, and yes, that's scary. 😢
Off topic, hey it's cool talking to you. It's always nice to meet people like you who's always positive and able to agree to disagree in a good way without having to argue. I like you CopperDove. 😉

Definitely it seems that the way you want to go about it is MUCH better than how many people do, so it has more of a chance of working out. I maintained a friendship with one of the people I was in a LDR with for many years after, and I value that a lot. I am always happy to know about good relationships, however they started initially. Gems who are quite together can be very clear with their communication, I've found, and that helps a lot. I have a Gem moon so I can verbalize my feelings fairly well.
It's cool talking to you too! Yes, no need to argue. I know that what might work for me vs another person can have differences. I like you too LonerLoop. 🙂
@GemStoned That is wonderful! It seems you had a very good mix of in person and long distance communication and you both worked hard to make sure that the challenges of a LDR were minimized so it had a chance. You met very soon into the correspondence too, it seems - not too much time building up a fantasy of what he was like, unlike what many people do. Do people's heads turn when they see you together because you're both so beautiful? I can imagine it!
Posted by LonerLoophaha, perhaps so! Much can be discovered that way sometimes.Posted by CopperDoveShe must be busy scrolling on my profile to figure out who am I. LOL

Posted by LonerLoopI agree. It took me a while to adjust to how DXP can be in some threads with arguments because most online forums I participated with in the past had debates rather than arguments when there were disagreements. It was very cool to read the debates - you could learn a lot because people presented their sides so clearly. Some people here are good at that too, of course. DXP has a little bit of everything, lol.Posted by CopperDoveYes! Afterall, that's why we are all here, to discuss and share views, isn't it? I don't see the needs to argue because each of us have our own opinions, besides, it's always nice to listen and understand rather than just to answer.Posted by LonerLoopPosted by CopperDoveYou do have some good points there.

We live in Canada.. so racism is extremely minimal here.. us Canadians don't look at color compared to how Americans do.. If they stare, they mostly stare because we are a HOT couple and plus.. we live in a small town, so yeah, we do get looks here and there.. If we lived in the city, we most likely wouldn't get as much looks because there is A LOT of interracial dating there, very normal. In the town that he lives in, everybody knows almost, pretty much.. Everyone.. So they most likely Also stare because they wonder.. Where did this girl come from!?!? I haven't seen her in town anywhere!?! I sacrificed my city living and moved into His Home, I left my family and friends for Love! I don't regret it, I love it.. plus I am huge into the organic, natural, healthy life style and there is a lot of farms nearby, that grow local organic fresh foods and goods, so I get my fix. Not only that, the water is CLEAN, we go swimming and fishing often and most of his friends own cottages, so sometimes we go stay up there and drink and have a good time. The fresh air is nice, it's a Huge Change from the city but I seriously Love It!! I use to live in the Caribbean, so I love natural living and and I get there Here more then in the city 🙂

I wasn't thinking about race when imagining people admiring how you guys look, just your looks and because you care about each other a lot, that would add to any glow I'm sure. 🙂
That's great that you made those changes and now live in a place that makes you happy. I moved from a big city and am very glad that I did.
