What do you do when you have a long distance crush?

Question

I'm not talking about a different town. I'm talking another continent across the ocean.

For people who have been in a LDR:
What do you think about having one so that you can stay focused on your work and keep in touch with your significant other through emails and occasional phone calls? I'm not saying to have a LDR just for the sake of this, but if it happens to be that way, is it good to think of it this way?

Thanks.

Answer 1

you know what... it's not bad to have a longdistance communication...
trust is important in every relationship...
now look...
if you both love each other there will be no boundaries in both of you... just believe that everything will work out just fine..
trust is all you need guys..
if there is love there is always trust...
remember those lines..


take care...

Answer 2

You could write, call, visit. It depends on whether it's worth it to both of you. I would probably just write for a while and the girl would probably break it off. Some last longer than others but few stay in contact till a visit.

I doubt it's a good thing in regard to work. A good relationship should probably not hamper work and should probably be more important than work. It seems like a good sign if two people are willing to go through it and be true to each other. Much of what two people do together in person is dishonorable and selfish. A LDR can easily be worth more. Good luck.

Answer 3

A LDR takes a lot of work. I've been in one for 4 years now, he is in Germany and i'm in California. They take a lot of communication, trust and honesty if BOTH of you can do that then you are off to a good start. Age is not a big issue i started dating my bf at 16. Even though age is not important (to me) a LDR does take a level of maturity. Since you are already saying that you like SOME kids in your new school, it could be that you are not ready to start a serious relationship. LDR are really hard work. It is not necissarly true that you will get hurt if you start a LDR because as i said before i've been in one for 4 years and we are really happy. Basically it is up to you and and the guy to see if you can keep it up and if it is something that you want. Good luck, hope that i helped. Let me know if you have anymore questions :)

Answer 4

Yeah, it's alright to stay focused on other things if that's what floats your boat in a LDR. Personally, I'd rather that person be near and would make that a goal during the interum of the LDR and I'd hope he'd work for that same goal.
It's okay to think that way. It helps you cope with not being able to hug and kiss in real life.

Answer 5

i know someone with a LDR. when i asked how they did it (they are about 3 yrs on now) she answered, keep yourself busy. i guess thats just it, keep yourself busy, and have a good communication with him, like regular e-mail or phone call.

Answer 6

Answer 7

i think it's mean for me to say this, but i think all you need to do is just look for another crush... just like you said, it's just a crush--nothing deeper than that...i personally don't believe in long distance relationships. maybe it'll work for some but it rarely happens...

Answer 8

It doesn't work....I broke up with my Repturn girlfriend across the milky way when her planet was vaporized by meteor storm 25 light years ago.
