    If I didn't have kids to uproot and I could find a job there... yes. Love rocks!

    I actually did that once.. I followed my ex-husband to Seattle. It was a great adventure.

    Too many factors to take in to account....most importantly--how far away?

    I would consider it.........I think if it was in the same state, and I don't have kids--I am sure that would be a deciding factor for many........and how long has this "someone" been around?

    I totally WOULD...if it were just me... But, since I have kiddos and their dad is here in Missouri, I think I'd have to stay here until they graduate.

    Yes, I would. Why not?

    Only if I could find a job with the same company in that city, I have been there too long to leave now.

    Yes,since I intend to move anyways that would be an added bonus...having someone there.
    I would hope it would be out in the country some though.

    I'd move to a new city for far worse reasons than that.

    I would not move for "maybe." Only for "definitely" and only if it made sense for me to be the one who moves. I live in my favorite city. I'm within driving distance of my family, with whom I am very close. I have a great professional opportunity here. I wouldn't totally rule out moving, but, like I said, only if it made more sense than him moving here to be with me.

    Are we talking about moving to a new city with someone you are already seeing (say you're in somewhat of a new relationship with someone and they get a job in a new city) or moving to turn a long distance relationship into a regular, local relationship?

    It really depends on career goals and where the relationship is at. Agree with JQ that it has to be a very definite thing.

    I was faced with that exact decision a couple of years back.

    For me, I'm a California native transplanted (or exiled as I refer to it) to the upper Midwest. I'd love move almost anywhere, but as Casey said, if would have to be for more than a "Maybe".

    The only thing holding me here is a far greater love - that of my children

    Yes. Why not? Assuming I didn't have a child I would in a second. You only have one life and if it didn't work you can always move back.

    Yes. If I felt the connection was strong enough.

    Worst case scenario: I move back home. :P

    Hell yes! I even have 2 kids and an awesome job. But if I found the one that I am supposed to be with...it will all work out. Obvioulsy, there will have to be some compromise, but I have moved for my ex-husband since he is in the Air Force - and I would do it again!

    Depends on how far. I will not if it is out of my Province.

    Absolutely. My son is only 3 so I wouldn't be taking him out of school anyway. I am planning on moving before he starts school.

    Reasons why not?
    (I'm curious).

    You bet I would. I love exploring new places and travel so that wouldn't be a problem at all

    That is a hard question i think you have to weigh all the pros and cons. I don't think I would. I truly love where I live, it's a good commute for me to the office and I love my gym. My family is not as close as I would like but still not bad. All that being said if I really liked the guy it would be a hard decision to make but I probably won't.

    You might be the first person who doesn't want to get out of Jersey

    In a heartbeat. With my job I could move to at least 20 different states so as soon as my son graduates high school I plan on leaving. They are my only family (other than my 95 yr old Grandma) so I have no reason to stay. I will visit them where ever they end up and things will be great!!!

    Without a doubt....if the custody thing with my youngest son allows it.

    Taking notes of which women to hit on...

    I'd love to find someone who was willing to move and be with me, it would be hard for me to do it, own a home, buncha pets, bah...

    Unless I was able to find another job within the same company making more money. Then I'd be all about a change of pace and location!

    I don't think I could...My job has been great to me for my age and is real stable and I make quite a bit doing it. I own a house and land next to it for additions if I wanted so my foundation here is pretty solid in the ground forcing me to not be able to move. Not to mention all the sports leagues I'm in around here i've gotten really attached to lol.

    If I met someone on here that I felt a great connection with and we were ready for this step i'd most likely attempt to get her to come to me, if not, i'd end up having to let her go and cry and eat ice cream for the next 2 months lol

    Yep. Girl I've been madly in love with for a couple years now lives 8 hours away, we're close friends but if she ever gave the green light to something more I'd find a way to move absolutely anywhere.

    Absolutely! Not too long ago I was in long distance relationship and would have moved in a heartbeat but couldn't due having split custody with my son's father. My BF couldn't move either due to work and family obligations. Really sucks since we had an awesome relationship. We just couldn't handle only seeing each other every 4-6 weeks. We are still best friends and extremely tight.

    Yup.. as long as it wasn't too far from my family or if it was, we'd have the means to come visit them at least 3-4 times a year. So like Meatloaf said "I would do anything for love.... but I won't do that!" (move across the country if I can't see my familia.)
