if you've been in a long distance relationship, how did it become long distance?
(me and my girlfriend met at camp but we live in different states.)
how often do you get to see your bf/gf in a long distance relationship?
(i haven't gotten to see her at all since we left each other )
and how do you cope if you rarely get to see them or know it might not be for another 7-8 months before you get to see them again?

It just happened. We live like so far away from each other. He's from New York I'm from Missouri. To tell you the truth, long distance relationship doesnt work out, some may, but hardly. It's just a matter of trust. As you can see we didnt last. It probably lasted about a month and a half.

I was in a long distance relationship. he was my first love actually. he lived in another city then me which is about 20 minutes away. We went out for 6 months but then the distance, school work (He was becoming a junior and I was becoming a Soph), and just our communication wasnt workin out so he dumped me.

I actually think it was good he did because long distance is hard. We still remain friends though.

I'm in a long distance relationship right now. We were both living in the same city going to the same school.. then boom, the end of the year came and we both moved somewhere else. Now we're halfway across the earth from each other and can only meet back at home twice a year. It's SO HARD.

I used to ignore my friends when they tried to tell me how hard long distance relationships are.. I always thought i could cope.. But i guess i was wrong.... *sighs*

Long distance relationships are one of the hardest things ever.
Especially if you just got together.
I have never had a long distance relationship, but I hope soon so I can see how it's like.
To wait for someone, counting every minute...
Just to pass the time, I would do what I regularly do everyday...
Talk to a friend on the phone, draw all day.
Anythingto keep the time going.

I had a long-distance relationship, but I couldn't take not ever seeing him and I liked this other guy a lot, so I just broke it off. If you can't see each other at least like, once a week or month or SOMETHING, it sucks too bad to go through with.

20 minutes away isn't exactly a long-distance relationship...

My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 10 months, and we're stronger than ever. I'm in Georgia, he's in Texas. We met through Xanga, and it was completely unplanned. A good friend of mine had moved, and she knew him from her school, and while I was on her site one day, I saw his comment and ironically, I clicked his site. He was adorable, and he liked the same music I did - even the underground bands, so I left him a comment. And it was on his birthday, too. It's so funny how that worked out. We just kind of talked a bit online, and the more we talked, the more we clicked and everything. I had no intention of starting anything with anyone, especially so far away, but it just happened, and I'm so glad it did. I've never been happier in my life. And yes, we've met in person and everything, he even flies over and stays with us. There's hardly ever a time when I'm not on the phone with him, and it took some time to get used to, but my parents absolutely adore him.

Yeah, it can get hard when you don't have their hand to touch every second, but it'll never work with ANY relationship if you don't have communication. It's amazing how he knows me so, so well, better than I even know myself. And you have to have that little thing called trust. He knows I would never do anything to hurt him, and I know he never would, either. And we've both dated enough people to know that we want what we've already got - each other. So yes, long-distances can work if you want them to. All I know is I'm happier than I've ever been, and this is the only thing that I know is true in my life. I love that boy more than anything.
