    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.

    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
