Tony T Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Some do and some don't. I'd say if it's been a year since you met this gal and nothing remarkable has happened by now, your chances are pretty slim with her. Long distance relationships are empty, unsatisfying and lonely. They take place in one's mind, no place else. Why not find a lady close by you can kiss, hug, take to concerts, movies and perhaps make love now and then. Doesn't that sound better...or is there something about you we don't know about? Link to post Share on other sites
RC Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I am in a LDR right now, I live 2 1/2 hours from my boyfriend. We spend every weekend together, and thank goodness for Alltel's Mobile to Mobile plan, we can talk all we want all month long for only $10.... I think that's the key for our relationship lasting so long, we can call anytime and talk about our day, the good things and the bad. We feel as if we're always in contact. I do have to say that I don't think our relationship would have lasted this long, if we only saw one another on weekends. But we talk every morning, at lunch time, and in the evening, and he calls me every night at bedtime to tell me goodnight.... I think you have to have the committment from both people to stay in contact, then you don't feel disconnected from them. We are planning to move in together and we are talking about marriage. I think it takes 2 people committed to making it work... also depends on how much distance is between you.... good luck!!! Link to post Share on other sites
tanpopo Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Mine seems to be working. We've been together almost a year now, he lives in Israel, I live in the UK. We've seen each other maybe about 5 times in that time. Its not a casual thing though, we love each other and I know we're both in it for the long term. The thing I realised is that even though its hard when we're apart (yes its lonely) every minute we spend together, even if its only for a few weeks is worth all the weeks and months spent apart. We both want it to work and both beleive its worth fighting for, so I think it will. Good Luck! If you both want it to work it will. Link to post Share on other sites
just wonderin Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I would have to agree with Tony! If there has been not much happening with this relationship, I would suggest moving on and finding someone closer. I have ben married for little over 20 years and my hubby works out of town al the time and we hardly get to see him much! IT does put a strain on our relationship alot.

charleskntter Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I agree with tony as well. If nothing has happened move on. Have you even talked to her since? MOVE ON!!!! As for long distance relationships, they do work. It just takes commitment from both people. I live about 7 hours from my fiancee and I call her every chance I get. I go home (she is from my home town) to see her every chance I get. As long as there is a sense of security and understanding in the relationship everything will be fine. Just remember, long distance relationships are very high maintanence. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
