They have been having trouble finding people that they like who do live near them.

However, finding people that they like who live near them may actually be what they truly want.

That may have been something at the forefront of their minds when they decided to start online dating.

Unfortunately, the reality of their experience has been a shortage of such people.

Being that they have been having a hard time finding people that they like who live near them, they decide to expand their search to people who live long distance.

In the back of their minds, they may already know that they aren’t ready or willing to put in the effort for a long distance relationship.

In other words, they are hoping that they are never in a position where this is the only option that they have.

They are not truly looking for a long distance relationship.

This is not their first choice.

These people joined the dating sites because they were looking to talk to people that live near them.

That was their first and only intent.

However, they may be having a difficult time finding people to talk to that they like, who also live near them.

Out of desperation, they may have opened their search to people who live long distance.

Doing something out of desperation often means that it wasn’t done wholeheartedly.

This means that these people could start talking to other people who do not live near them for a period of time, but they would be merely doing so in the hopes that someone nearby that they like will eventually show up.

Unfortunately, these people on dating sites who talk to others who don’t live near them could be doing that simply as an insurance policy.

They get to keep this person who is long distance hopeful that there is a genuine relationship beginning to develop between them.

However, these people are only biding their time in the hopes that while they are talking to this person who doesn’t live near them, someone else who lives near them will show interest and take their attention away.

This is why these people on dating sites who talk to others that don’t live near them will often not put in the effort to make these long distance interactions work.

They were never ready or willing to get into a long distance relationship in the first place.

They just didn’t want something like that. There primary intent has always been to meet someone who lives near them.

Another reason why people on dating sites talk to others who don’t live near them, but ultimately show that they aren’t ready or willing to put in the effort for a long distance relationship is because some of these people may already be in relationships in real life.

They choose to talk to others who don’t live near them because they don’t want talk to anyone who lives locally who may actually know them.

If they were to talk to people on dating sites who live near them, someone may actually recognize them.

They may not want to put themselves in this position.

Hence, these people on dating sites talk to others who don’t live near them so that they can have an escape from their real life relationships without risking the possibility of getting caught.

They already know that they aren’t ready or willing to put in the effort for a long distance relationship because they are already stuck in their current relationships.

They are simply looking for a temporary escape from their real life relationships.

By talking to people who don’t live near them, they feel that they can have that escape without the risk of getting caught.
