But yes, it often amazes me how peoples' minds work. So many people wear masks these days, too. |
Oh no...I finally found out why he always turned me down. THAT was the thing I won't let him live down.
I'm not sure if I should go around sharing all his personal secrets on the internet, but "long distance is hard" is not an excuse I'm willing to take out of him about why things went bad with his girlfriend. |
Ahh, whoops x:
Yes, I agree...I think that if you truly love someone, you will be willing to deal with distance until you can mend it or find a way to get around it. That goes for any other issues, too, naturally...like family problems or peer pressure. |
It can work, but the only way I'd support it would be the instance of one person moving away or something similar -- just assuming you actually know each other. Online dating with someone you've never even met is just stupid.
But in the first instance it does depend on the people. Personally I don't like them, but that's just me. |
D:< Well, it doesn't work, and ,yes, I'm fairly bitter about it.
He'll be okay, but no one can love a fat slob like myself. He has all these girls all over him. I guess, they always have been, and...the future we talked about just crashed down around me. The wedding dress I wanted will be someone else's happiness. Our red-headed babies will never be... |
I have friends that know people that met online and never met had one partner move to where the other lived and got married and are very happy. I think if they are getting worked up to keep you away they really are hiding something like relationship or marriage or they arent who they say they are. If they really care they would want to be with you.

I think that long distance relationships are almost always a waste of time. First of all, I don't think internet relationships work at all. You can't REALLY know someone from the internet.
It takes a lot of trust and willpower to be able to keep up a relationship when you can't ever see your significant other. Not everyone is decent enough to not cheat when they know they can't be found out by the other person. Not only that, and it sucks not to ever be able to be affectionate, not to mention getting laid. xD Personally, I get too lonely and clingy to ever be in a long distance relationship. At least I know not to try? |
I should have known better.
I was young, still am, but...I learned a harsh lesson. |
Long-distance friendships can work, theoretically, if you talk every day and have really awesome conversations with that person, but I don't think you can date a person long distance, unless you plan to see them again soon, because it's really just a friendship without kissing and cuddling and all that fun stuff. :lol:
And since everyone has this weird obsession with being in a romantic relationship, one of the partners is eventually going to want to kiss someone, and won't want to wait around for someone thousands of miles away. :( |
AH!!!
These breakups should be easier. WHY AREN'T THEY!?! That jealous son of a bitch! |
Just like non-long distance relationships, it may or may not succeed.
But all the circumstances of lack of personal connection -both sexually and physically (I made it different since there's the cuddling romantic whatevers and the hot make out stuff too)- cis quite a BIG factor for many people who are in relationships. So by that alone, people will argue that it's not very feasible. But in my opinion? It depends on the fortitude of a person's character. Ask yourself. If you can withstand the distance and go on with it, then you can do it. If you can't, then don't consider/pursue it. Depending on how much emotional investment you put into things, they can just as hurt as real life time experiences with those you meet up everyday or just once in a while. : / |

During the two years my boyfriend and I were in our long distance relationship, we saw each other seasonally. I'd go see him once every few months and we made things work. Between AIM, phone, webcam, and emails, we were able to talk every day which really helped.
The key is that it CAN NOT stay long distance. Eventually someone has to go see the other person. I moved to the other side of the country for my relationship. Long distance relationships can work, but you have to put twice as much work into them as normal relationships and you have to have complete trust in your partner |
A long distance relationship can never work if it stays long distance permanently. At some point one member of the couple has to join the other. Humans are social being, even the most anti-social of us crave the touch and love of another. The distance will eventually make the members of a couple get lonely. A long distance relationship can chew you up spit you out and tear you into a million pieces if you are not strong enough.
All this being said I do believe they can work. In order to make it work you must be able to put a lot of time and effort into it, know your significant other extremely well, trust your significant other,have lots of self control, be strong, communicate as often as possible and have plans at some point to fix the distance issue. All successful ones are painful, but worth it. The distance really starts to get to you after a while regardless of how large or small it actually is. Also if you have any trust issues in general paranoia will tend to set in. You have to options; control the paranoia or let it control you. I have been in a long distance relationship for about two and a half out of three years come November and I loose my mind over it sometimes. But I know it's worth the wait because the one time I had a chance to be with him twenty-four seven we both were in complete heaven. If things go right we will be together within the next three months and we won't have to wory about distance anymore. |
Bleh. Mine didn't work.
I'm going for people within a 10 mile radius. |
I also agree that it depends on the ones involved. I've been in a long distance relationship for a year and a half and I am happy. I would love to be with him but we both aren't able to do so at the moment given our circumstances. I've been in other LDRs and local relationships, but I can honestly say I've never been happier. It'll only be better when we can actually be face to face. It hurts to not be able to have him here but it'll be worth the wait, I just love him so much. :3 |
The breakup is the hardest thing to deal with in a long distance relationship.
You'd think it'd be easier because you never have to see them, but you get less and less text messages and calls. You really don't need a phone after that. I go on AIM and no one's there. My webcam just collects dust. I feel like I'm half the person I used to be. I was a part of him, and he was a part of me. My friends said it would never work out. I don't know why I didn't listen to them. |
none of my long distance relaitonships have ever worked.
But, I was with some really big Jerk-offs. I think that if two people love eachother enough, then long distance wont be a problem. Trust and communication are a huge key to make long distance work. |
I always have bad luck with long distance relationship, cause it never work out in every long distance relationships I been, in I always ended up just being friends with my partner..
|
I can't even be friends with him. I just feel like we were never friends.
|
i really care for the person i am with right now, i would definately do a long distance relationship if it came to that.

I've always thought that long distance relationships never work. This concerns me greatly, because I'll be going off to college next year.
My boyfriend and I have been dating for over a year now, and I love him more than anything. I'm worried about getting the best deal from a college that he can't go to. I'm worried that I will move away from him and we won't be able to keep what we have alive. I see him every single day right now, so it would be a drastic change. On the other hand, if I do end up moving where he's going to college nearby, we would begin living together, which opens up a whole new can of worms. It seems like those two choices are my only options, and I'm really scared that whatever I choose will be something I regret. |
personally, i think love overpowers everything else, ive seen a couple that changed colleges together and they r happy. if its love ull find a way

I'm currently in a long distance relationship. It actually started out long distance, we met through a friend, and became phone buddies, we literally talked for hours every night. After a couple years of knowing each other, we started a relationship and are now engaged(it's going to be a long engagement for several reasons). He'll be moving to where I live towards the end of May. The relationship is sort of hard. It's costly for one, plane tickets aren't cheap. The lack of physical contact is enough to drive you crazy. You need a lot of trust and communication is a must. Long distance relationships also take some sort of creativity to keep it from falling into a routine, though any relationship needs that. But, you have to be creative in ways of going on dates such as renting the same movie and trying to watch it together over Skype. I don't think long distance relationships are for everyone, but if both people are willing to remain that dedicated and that there's a plan that the distance between the two will/can change, then it can work out.
