If You've Ever Been In A Long Distance Relationship, How Far Apart Were You& The Person You Were With?

Question

Also, how long did it take to adjust to being in a relationship with a person who is living far away from you?

Answer 1

I've never had a long distance relationshio work out myself , but I know a few who do. You need to be clear with yourself about your needs from a relationship. If your needs are not being met because of the distance, your relationship will eventually crash, or someone will have to move.
On the other side, if you are having your needs met, you have ask the other person if their needs are being met too. Do you know what their need are? Find out if you don't.

After all of this ask yourself " Is it worth it to me?" and "Where is this relationship eventually going to go?" then decide.

Answer 2

i'm in a long distance relationship right now, and have been since June 29, 2005---almost a yr and a half. me and my guy are 2 hrs apart. it took us some time, like maybe 2 or 3 months to get used to being apart. the longest that me and my guy have gone without seeing each other is now 4 months. but everytime we see each other again, we're both hot for each other. i love him so much, and my love for him can't be measured with any unit of distance. it's been growing bigger and bigger since the day i met him, and fell in love with him. it's tough being so far apart, not being able to see each other much b/c of timing and all else, and not being able to talk to each other b/c he does at times get into trouble or he's just too busy to talk. the memories of being with him of times past, and times coming in the future sustain me until we next see each other, and also the thought that i know we'll get to see each other soon, no matter how long it takes, we'll see each other again.

Oh boy! He was on the East coast and I am on the West coast!!! It really didn't take long--we talked on the phone all the time--so it was like we were always together--but know this--long distance relationships can be hard to maintain--so be careful and be sure you truly love one another---it can work--good luck--

Answer 5

I'm in a long distant relationship right now.....
I would say its really hard.

At first....Its hard to ajust. And your mind starts telling you.....oh its not worth it! he lives to far away! Just dump him and date guys that live near bye.

Its hard.....
But as you get farther into the relationship....you come to find its actually worth it (if you love the person enough)

One thing though....If he's never going to come down to visit....Then it probably isnt worth dating him after all.

My boyfriend lives in Idaho. I live in Utah.
I knew this boy from middle school (were in highschool now)
And we had BIG crushes on eachother practically the whole year.

but neither of us would admit it.
He would flirt with me....And i would flirt with him.

Until one day he asked me out.
We dated once....then broke up. (i didnt realize what love was then...and i got scared and backed out)

Then i asked him out again....He said yes.

So we dated for i think a month. or so. And then we broke up again
because i heard i was being pulled out of school for homeschooling. And he was moving to idaho.

So we didnt see eachother for about 3 months after i had been
out of school.
I saw him at a dance place one day. He was there with his buddys and his girlfriend at the time.....But he still had a crush on me....but was to shy to say any thing.

I was there with my sister having a good time.
Me and Sam (fake name) danced a couple dances....and afew fast ones....just enjoying ourselfs.

But little did i know.....That was his last night in town. He would be moving the next day.

So after that night....We hadnt heard or seen eachother for about another 3 months.
When i told one of my best friends that i missed him and i missed going out with him.

And she told me she had his number.
So i called him.....And he didnt really reconize who i was...he had
basically moved on because he thought it would'nt have worked out any way.

Well ever since that day ....We kept in touch......
And then one night i had the courage to ask him something.
I said "So i heard you still liked me?" He paused on the phone for about 2 seconds and reply'd "Well you heard right"

So ever since then.....He called me his girlfriend....And i just sort of accepted it.

And now....We are still in the same relationship. We have been a happy couple ever since May. Our longest time dating any one.

Who would have thought that a long distance relationship would last this long? 7 months!
were aiming to reach 2 years.

We just talk every night on the phone and wait until the next time he visits.
I last saw him in August....
And he says he might be coming down in the middle of January.
But the one he's really looking forward to...is coming down for his spring break because he'll be staying for about a week and 3 days. So were excited.

So all in all....A long distant relationship will work out...If you have found the right person.

Also....Ask yourself.....If he asked me to marry him....Would i say yes?

If your answer is probably not....Then this relationship isnt worth it.
Never date any one you arent willing to marry. It saves emotional harm.
Good luck deary! and dont lose hope! ♥
