Long Distance Relationships, Does it work? Options

[Desperado]

What do u all think about long-distance relationships? Good? Bad? Believe in it? No?

[bdbuie]

well, at first i hated the idea of them. completely. lol, in fact, i still don't really care for them; however, my gal happens to live 700 miles away. they can work, all it takes is finding someone who's worth the distance, who can feel close even with all those miles inbetween. they are still hard though. but worth it. very worth it.

this is already on another topic

so this is what i put...

NOOOOO!!!!!!!! F***ING NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Will only work under two conditions?
1) Obviously if both the people are in love. Most likely kids, teenagers, etc do not know what love is from slight obsession to longing to companionship. Two people at a young age do not know "love".
(So this condition cannot be met)
2) The people must "NOT be in LOVE" or more specifically they both must not like the other "that much". They key word is "BOTH". It must be both because if one likes the other more than the other he/she will sacrifice to get the relationship to work and the other will just bum around and do nothing. Yet, if both like each other just "so and so" to the point where they won't cheat on each other the relationship will just draaaaaggg onn annnnd ooooonnnn aannnddd onnnnnnn until the day they finally will be able to meet and have a "not long distance but short distance relationship". Then during this time they might start to like each other more and actually have a good relationship. But, this is only after it has been a dull and boring time until they get "closer".
(Possible, but why bother to wait and not find someone you really like?)

Whats this about sex? You can have a relationship without it because that shouldn't be the top priority. But if the two ppl in the relationship feel that way i guess its ok. but again fuk no online stuff won't work

[k00alah]

i agree with dreamer.. its not all about sex.. i mean if you really like or love someone that lives far away from you.. then make it work out.. the relationship will eventually work itself out just as long as you have the right formula.. but if its all about sex.. then get with someone you can be with every freakin day.. sooner or later you'll need to calm down anyways..

[annabebz]

i dont think long distance relationships work out that well... you wont be able to see your gf/bf and you never know if there cheating on you.. haha xP

[wayne]

i dont know, my gf lives like 15 min away from me, but we are together, we love each other and all, but i think she is up to something. crap, i think im dumb for staying with her. but crap i love her and she loves me

[Dr3aMeR]

whats with the cheating? why do you even think about it when your with some one?

WHERE IS THE TRUST!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[COLDasICE]

I think it can work in some cases.. I mean, every type of relationships have its ups and downs. Long distance relationship is all about trusting one another. My math teacher recently got engaged to man that lives in Texas and they met at Hawaii. Haha, yeah I'm talking about my teacher's life but every type of relationship can work out just as long as you and your significant other are walking down the same path together..

[darkestdesire]

i say NO! Cause you wouldn't know what your significant other would be doing while you're not there. If you trust him/her enuff then maybe but in the case where you can't trust him/her, never...

i had a long distance relationship.. over the internet.. my bf lived in North Carolina and i live in California.. we dated for a while and broke up but got back together in feb of 03.. he moved here to California in Nov.. and weve been together since.. its hard now but its really worth it.. i love him and he loves me and we plan a life together.. its really up to the people in the relationship to make it work.. remember "love prevails all" if its meant to be itll work out eventually if not then.. it wont..

[wayne]

i think it depends on how much they love and trust each other

[shmegs]

it depends on the relationship, really. i've had one and it didn't work, but my friend's girlfriend lives in another state, and they have made it work for over a year. ya never know til you try it.

[Dreamy_illusions]

Me and mah boi r in a long distance thing...but like we were together b4 i moved away so its all good...b4 i was totally against them...but i gues until ur in the sitch udont realize that it iz worth it

[*[2]Nekked*]

i was in a long distance relationship with a guy who lived in Kansas... we met at his sisters wedding in Boston, and it was like love at first sight if there is such a thing... he was staying in boston for three weeks, and we just fell more in love with each other every day... then he went back home, and we tried it for a couple months, scheduling future visits, but after a while we both just wanted more... i mean we were too young to be stuck to one person who lives 4820394823059 miles away from us. we found ourself wanting more than actually having a relationship together, so we broke it off...

we really did love each other though, and in a way i think we still do... he lives in rhode island now which is a lot closer, but i guess we just missed our chance together, because he went out with some chick, n after they broke up and he moved to rhode island, things were awkward between us cuz his ex still wanted to be with him and he wasnt going to turn her down.. and i was having a lot of problems with boys, so whenever we saw each other i was kinda bitter...

i guess if u can make it work than more power to ya...i wouldnt say not to take the risk, because sometimes its worth it..i mean if you're willing to take the chance, then take it and run with it cuz you wont get another one. but it doesnt always work out so nicely as you can see.. so if you're a wimp like me, then you'd hide from long distant relationships.

[x3chrissyx3]

they do. but it's a 2 way street. if you BOTH love each other, and you BOTH wanna make it work, then it will happen. I'm in one...and ya know, it gets hard, but it's so worth it. It really is. thats all I can say...

[hannah]

ahh, they are SO hard : (
but love transcends everything.. time and distance. it's definitely possible if both your hearts are in it.

[hannah]

oh, and i forgot.. good luck to those of you who are trying : ) you can do it.

[melface]

Yeah, it isn't all about sex... but you need some pleasure sometime, right?... and I say... who knows? It depends if you WANT to make it work... eventually if you two are serious you'll end up meeting each other and then deciding whether or not it's going to work out... but then there's the other end where your boyfriend or yourself moves away and all that mess... well, it also depends... I'm sure eventually you'll finally get sick of it because we're all human beings and you need some sort of touch, you know? So, sure it is difficult, but if you really try and you both trust each other, then I'm sure it would work...

[lexion]

Yes, if two people love each other a lot and are thinking about marriage.

[d1nonlyqty]

ugh i tried that for like two weeks.. where my bf left for a litto bit..
and i sho couldnt do it..
its honestly HARD

[Trinie]

i've been a long distance relationship 5 years ago. and it worked! and we are still together and very happy. we wil be together for about 8 years now in a month. :)

[_sarcastic_]

i'm in a long distance right now (for the 2nd time). it's working great right now, we talk to each other 21072340 times a day, webcam tons and such, i'm flying back in 5 days. i can't wait

[rejectedchik89]

alot of people think they won't work. that's soooo not true. i'm in a long distance relationship (he lives 600 miles away) and we're doing just fine. it's really hard, but we love each other and i don't want to loose him. it isn't a internet relationship, i used to live there but i moved. we've been together for almost 6 months now. you have to be a strong person and just trust God.
