Don't be so quick to dismiss the possibilities here. I met my husband online playing Euchre and he's from New Zealand.
Yes I do believe in Santa.
Ah, yes, I'd always heard that those online euchre sites were notorious!
New Zealand, huh? North Island or South?
South Island, Christchurch area. It's absolutely beautiful there.
Oh, wow, I've been there; it's lovely. I hope you get to go back and visit there occasionally.

It's probably a good thing that it's so far and expensive, or I'd be going there all the time, and eventually just not come back.

Me, too, HTSU. *sigh* It's gorgeous. And I'm partial to the Taranaki region of North Island, too.
MsKiwi, does your hubby have any unmarried brothers, male cousins, etc., that he might be willing to send my way? I'm a complete pushover for the Kiwi accent!!
All his brothers are married but he has approx 20 cousins and nephews. I'm sure we could hook you up. I agree on the accent. <swoon>
Since all the extras in the Lord of the Rings trilogy were Kiwis, I have decided to picture your husband's entire extended family as Elves. As I am almost 5'9", I would rather not think that they were hobbits!

Hmmm....well, I'm single, 43, no kids, and generally prefer younger guys; if any of the single male 'rellies' anywhere from about age 28-29 through my own age might be interested in a pint-sized blonde with green eyes, PM me and we'll see what can be worked out. 
OP, sorry for my silly thread-jacking. Any news on YOUR almost-not-quite flirtation?! 
I say nudge a mutual acquaintance to do the initial investigation for you - we only regret the things we DIDN'T do! Get somebody to find out if there's mutual interest and, if so, get that first date set up for you! Go for it!
