Hi cute.
Perhaps it is the traveling and distance of the other side of the family that is a concern. Sometimes, from what I hear, after the marriage settles in, the partner who moves far sometimes has issues with not being near their family. That is not always the case though.
Also, I dont understand how people can assume someone from another part of the country may be right for them. Maybe someone can explain.
In any case, hatzlacha and may the right one come along soon!!
