2023- virtual meeting before in person

Hi Jeff, from a polyamorous standpoint, I’d have to say No, I wouldn’t leave my primary partner to relocate to anywhere. This is my home and I enjoy the culture of my location. From a job standpoint, I’d say No again, I wouldn’t even relocate if a similar position opened somewhere else paying a higher salary. Jobs are a lot the same as relationships, often passing and sadly lacking sustainable benefits. It’s always best to interview extensively and balance the benefits package both have to offer alongside the obvious liabilities.

I do not understand why you are so hung up why people will not consider someone long distance and are not interested in relocating. But to answer your question, I wouldn’t care if a company offered me 150,000 a year there are some states in the US I would never live in. A partner and money are not the only keys to happiness in life.

My response is not related to dating long distance, only virtual calls.
I almost always try to do a virtual call before meeting someone in person. Especially if we’re planning on travelling to meet, which is often the case for me, based on my locale. I’ve actually made a few friends that way. Where We didn’t pan out as lovers but connected as friends because of distance or other factors.
For me the virtual call help build a connection with the person, they are much more personal than texting or talking on the phone. It also creates more comfort and reassurances for both of us, knowing we’ve already confirmed were attracted to one another before meeting face to face. Also, it can save a trip or time doing the virtual call. I have realized that i am not interested in that person or vice versa and it’s therefore it’s not worth our time to make the effort to meet in person.
