Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

Well, my 457 application is now in. Funny thing, I accepted the job back in December, then two weeks later a guy I've known for a year asks me out. So, I've now got a bf, but heading to Perth on my own for a three year contract.... Not sure what it's going to do to the relationship, but I have to leave my current job before it sends me completely mad, and jobs in my line of work are somewhat rare.

Hello, welcome to the loners thread.

I'd imagine 3 years on the other side of the world is going to do wonders for your newly formed relationship!!! :p

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

Thanks xzibit! I know, it's crazy really. :unsure: Still, I'm used to living on my own, so I don't think it's going to be too hard for me. And he knew I was was leaving from the start, so it's not like it came as a surprise!

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

I suppose it should be easier to leave someone you've been with for a short period of time, over someone you've been with for years (like I have to), but it still isn't easy.

Just tell him, that if he'd have got his ass into gear earlier, then it may have been different lol. :D

It must be very hard having to leave a long term partner to follow your dreams. I can't imagine having to make that decision. I guess my reasons for going are a bit different to a lot of people here - I'm just going to my next job, I'll probably be back in the UK at the end of the contract. I always knew this would be the way I'd have to work, at least for several years after qualifying, so I never figured on a long-term relationship. (It was only after we'd been together for a few weeks that he let on he'd been trying to attract my attention for months! :lol: )

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

Interesting. I made a decision to not get involved with anyone whilst waiting on this bloody visa. Not condemning your decision as things happen. I just felt it was best for me as knowing my luck it would scupper my plans and keep me trapped here. No thanks.

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

I said I'd arrange that for around 17 may but still waiting for people to RSVP think there's only about 4 of us interested so far.
So come on guys I'm only a PM away if your interested in a loners night/weekend out

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

your funny, bless:thumbsup:

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

I did same as you the move just means that much to me (knowing my luck I'll now fall madly in love and stay here) AAAaaaarrrrgghhh

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

I have also made a vow to keep my heart closed to all things affectionate until I get down under. However, this is not a difficult thing for me as have had a drought in that department for longer than it takes to walk the Nullabour. :zzz:

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

Probably because you havent been searching. You've probably been subconsciously holding yourself back to avoid heartbreak.

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

I'm actually just entering into a steady relationship even though I barely have 3 months til I leave. The way I see it I'd rather have 3 months with an amazing girl and have to leave her behind then not have her at all...

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

Your just the type of guy I'm avoiding - how cruel! :eek::p

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

PMSL!! :rofl: So it's just you and the trusty rabbit then!?!

Men of a little town just outside Sydney watch out, there's going to be a sex crazed female on her way.

Re: The Official Loners Thread
 

That's what we figured, too. A few months is better than wondering "what if...", but I said from the start I wouldn't change my plans for him and, equally, I wouldn't expect him to change his plans for me.
