    Hi there from the UK :-) I might be one of the oldest members, not sure :p

    I am glad to have come across this site and thought I'd introduce myself :-)

    I'm 41, am in the UK and I've been seeing (or as far as I can *see* him, going off distance) a guy of the same age as me in the USA since last June. We met on an online forum and up to now, have met in person on three week long dates. Our lives have been quite similar in that neither of us ever married or have any kids. We both often struggled to meet people by more conventional means although are glad to have cast our net wider (wider than perhaps most people would be willing to) and found one another. It's early days, though and not an easy road with us being in separate countries.

    I look forward to chatting with others *in the same boat* so to speak :-)

      You've come to the right place, as you will soon see. Many of us are in similar situations. It isn't easy, but it is doable.

      By the way, I would guess I might be the oldest one here, at 66 (turning 67 in May).

          Wow. I imagine you could hold the record for the oldest LDR'er here and it's lovely, really inspiring to read of people finding love at all ages :-) I see you're in USA and your guy in Australia. Have you been able to meet up "for real" yet? And thanks for the welcome :-)

                    I am from USA and my SO is Dutch, it has been a hard few years but will just won't let any obstacles stand in our way. We have not not closed the distance yet, but have been together since Dec 24th so far, and pushing towards October before we have to part again. We are both over 35. Welcome to LFAD.

                        It's great to meet someone else in the UK with an American boyfriend :-) How did you meet to begin with? I really hope you'll get the chance to meet for real soon. Will he visit you or you him first? Where in the UK are you? I'm in North Wales . Where's your man? Mine's in Kentucky

                              Thank you :-) Are you together in the USA or Holland? Can you speak Dutch? It's lovely how we can all come together over this unique life situation and chat
