Long distance relationships?

Question

Do You believe in long distance relationships?Or would it be better off to be with someone that lives closer?

Answer 1

I believe it is easier with someone closer. A friend of mine started chatting with a woman from Williston in Jan 2006. They met in March 2006. He proposed they were to get married. He went to move her here twice. Both times he came back home alone. Still she calls him, says will move here maybe in Dec. now. My opinion is she is just playing with his heart strings. At least if it were someone near by he would be able to see her and know better what was really going on.

Answer 2

There never is a good answer to a question like this. Every one is different and some people can make long distance relationships work. I tried once and he turned out to be married with two kids. So i guess what I am saying is its all up to you and how well you know the guy, and how well you trust the guy. I would go with someone who lives closer. Its just better when you can spend time with the person your with rather than them not being involved in your life.

You have to be really strong to handle a long-distance relationship. I did it for 2 yrs and it was extremely hard, we saw each other for 3 days every 2 weeks or so. I finally ended because he told me he would move and he never did. You can only handle that distance for so long, until you start wanting someone who you can see anytime you want. They can work, they are just alot of work. You should think long and hard about whether or not you can handle not having them with you everyday or when you just want their shoulder to cry on. Trust plays a big part in it too, because unless you know someone where they live, then you have no idea what they are really doing. The guy I was seeing was seeing a few other women too, I didn't find this out until the end. Good luck!

Closer has to be easier. I suppose quite a few long distance relationships don't work for many reasons. I live in America and last year I met a man from the UK. Yes, we met online in a game room. So I figured we'd chat the usual 2 weeks, with neither giving much info, running out of things to say. Nope, we never shut up. We talked about everything. Early this year, he had vacation to take or lose. We discussed it, I invited him here, and he flew 4,300 miles to meet me and my son. We "clicked," and all I can say is WOW.

It was very hard when he had to return, but we've remained in touch through PC and telephone. Communication is very important. We still haven't shut up. He'll be here again in a few weeks. So....it can happen, and it can work. It depends on the people.

Answer 5

That's a very difficult thing to happen. First of all you must trust almost completely in your partner and try to explain things with care, because when someone is far from the other things get twice worse that when you are seeing each other.

another important thing is that at least you should see once in a while because it is not the same to send a kiss by phone than to feel the sweet sensation of your partner, or even the only smell of his/her hair that makes you feel like you are in heaven.

This is something you both have to walk throw as long as love exist and if this is gonna have a happy end, like a long term relationship.

Today, I have almost a year and a half with my GF and everything's great, we have no problems and no doubts about the other.. Believe me, IT CAN BE POSIBLE.

Answer 6

In my experience, long distance relationships don't work. If you think that you can handle being alone until he or she comes to visit then you can probably handle it. Otherwise get someone closer. Good Luck!

Answer 7

well i think you would be better off with somebody that lives closer by the area why because that way you can see them more often, but it the long distance is just temporary and worth waiting i say you wait.

Answer 8

Me and my bf are thousand miles apart but we're both helping one another to keep our relationship strong. He's so serious about our relationship and we do talk on the phone almost everyday, text messages most of the time, emails, skype whatever. You'll never know how deep you love each other until you became apart. And that's we both found out that we both cannot be happy without each other.

Answer 9

They are wonderful. They do take a lot of work though and the relationship must be upfront and move to the next level (get married) or I don't think it will work out.

We dated for 6 months and moved in together for three years and have been married now three years and it's been great.

Answer 10

closer would be better since u get to see ur partner frequently..long distance is fine too..but u gotta have strong bonds with ur partner or else the feeling of love will just rust as time passes
