NebraskaGuy Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I met a great girl on OLD recently. She lives in another town about 2 hours from me. We've each gone to each other's town a couple of times and I want to start aiming for a good long-term relationship. I'm curious as to how often we should be seeing each other. This is my first LDR and since the distance isn't too prohibitive I was just curious if this should be treated like a local thing or what. Our schedules work out pretty good where I could actually go visit a few days a week. Of course the standard is we can easily see each other on the weekends but I feel like just once a week isn't much for a good relationship. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
Author NebraskaGuy Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Wanted to add that I know this is still way more often than what most people consider LDR but I wasn't sure where else too ask this question. Link to post Share on other sites
davidvillasor Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 how is that even considered long distance relationship when you can visit her instantly within 2 hours. If it's 2 hours than I suggest you meet her 5 times out of 7 in a week. good luck. Link to post Share on other sites

It will wear on you eventually if you have no long term plans of being in a single location. OP - Treat this as you would any other RL. There is no right or wrong way as far as frequency. It should be dictated by how much you want / can see each other. The great thing about a LDR is if it doesn't work out, you don't really have to see them out and about anymore.

Michelle ma Belle Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Are you sleeping together yet? If so, why not take turns spending the whole weekend together that way the round trip is less concerning and you get more face time. You can then thrown in a day or two during the week if it works in your schedule and you're missing each other. I'm not sure why you'd only do one day up and back on the weekends unless you're not intimate yet. Link to post Share on other sites
