I agree with what's been said, don't rule out long distance relationships but, do understand that it will probably take longer to build that to a point of actually getting together than it would if you could see each other in person.
Personally I am not a fan of dating sites, they tend to push the fast hook up concept and, that isn't what I want. I want a friend first, then a confidant and, if more comes of one of those friends, then it's worth exploring. If that friend happens to live a few hundred or, even a few thousand miles from me, that's okay, we'd discuss it and, figure out were to go from there and, what to do about the logistics of actually seeing each other.
Don't get me wrong, I'd be delighted if he were local, but I wouldn't rule out a long distance relationship any more than I would rule out a disability or a chronic or, long term illness. Just something we would need to talk about, and I'd hope had as friends long before it got close to being anything more.
(And, no I'm not looking, too close to my last breakup - I do not do the rebound thing.)
