I keep watching episodes of House Hunter International. It features couples looking for a place to live abroad. I noticed that a fair amount of the people were not married. One of them would have a job opportunity and the other decided to go with them. To a new country. With no real promise of marriage. That’s commitment.

Call me romantic but I love the idea of living in a new country with someone I care about. I would probably follow a boyfriend to a new country too. It just sounds like one of those once in a lifetime experiences you shouldn’t miss.

Would you ever move to another country if the person you were involved with asked you to go?

What would you do if you got a job and had to move abroad? Would you consider asking someone to go with you? Is that too much pressure on a dating relationship?
