long distance relationship?

Question

what do i do? i really like the person but they live like 2 hours away? how to i keep it going

Answer 1

my partner lives in a different island and yet our love is getting stronger everyday. if you really love this person and you're willing to make things work out then start putting the spark in your relationship. it is important that both of you are aware of the repercussions of a long distance affair. unlike the regular thing, in a long distance relationship, TRUST plays a major role. of course, both of you should set the ground rules. agree on the rules and commit to each other to remain faithful and in love. if you have a cellular phone, send each other text messages of love and assurance. call each other on specific times. let each other be aware of your love. be a hopeless romantic. arrange to meet regularly - and i tell you, each meeting will be a blast! and hey, don't worry too much about the expense - if you're in love, you really wouldn't mind. good luck!

Answer 2

Seriously, 2 hours is nothing. my buddy lives 6 hours from him and in a different state and they're making it work easily oddly enough. If you're both too young to drive or don't have cars, then I don't see much of a chance for this. If either one of you has a car and the time you could easily spend the weekends together or stay at eachother's places for a week or more at a time. This isn't exactly as long distance as you think.

Answer 3

First of all, it all depends on how old you are and if you have enough money to buy a place of your own together in the near future.

Second of all. does this person like you as much as you like them, if so then it is possible. My friend had a girlfiend who lived 2 hours away from him and they used to see eachother every weekend. It worked for 2 years although he never had time for his friends anymore as he was always with her.

All i can say is that if you love eachother enough then you will keep it going at any cost. Good Luck.

Answer 4

Talk a lot, write letters, email, try to set aside some time each month for a visit. Just keep in mind that it is very hard to keep a long distance relationship alive and it takes a lot of work. Absence does not always make the heart grow fonder.

Answer 5

My wife and I did the whole time from pre-dating friends to wedding night (about 21 months). We were 1.5 or 3 hours apart, depending on where we each lived at the time. It isn't as hard as it may seem. We would take turns driving to each other each weekend. I was pretty busy with school during the week, so I probably wouldn't have had much time for her during the week anyway. We talked on the phone almost every night, and emailed/instant messaged each other a little bit.

It really wasn't that hard. Maybe because we knew it was only temporary, and that we could be together when I was done with school.

Answer 6

Long distance definitely can work if you can put the time in. Granted, that means that you'll only get to see them once a month or so, but that's what email and phones are for. If you both really care for each other, it's definitely do-able. But it does require a lot of patience and trust on both sides. Make the weekends you see each other really special-plan fun things to do, and set aside time to just sit together and watch tv and be together.
Good luck!!

Answer 7

I had a long distance relationship
many people say no it doesn't work
but how do YOU know unless you give it ago
I think it does work but it can only work for you if your both willing to make it work
i lived in north east england and my partner lived in northern Ireland we now live together and have been together 3 year
you both have to have the will power and commitment to make it work if you love him and he loves you what have you got to lose?

Best of look x :D

Answer 8

I've been in three or four long distance relationships, and two of them lasted a long time, but they all ended in heartache. It is just too hard to be with someone and completely trust them when you cannot even see them every day.

I suggest you get out of the relationship and find someone closer.

Answer 9

Long distance only works if both of you guyz really want it to work.. for one thang.. your only 2 hrs away... its not too far.. every weekend u can visit.. and then next weekend he can visit.. trust me it can work.. and its not dat bad when ur just hrs away.. its a lil bit more complicated when it comes to miles and miles away...

I had a long distance relationship.. and we too lived about 2 hrs away.. .we are now married.. so trust me.. it can workout.. plus.. you get your own space... u dont fight as much.. but all in all.. if ur ok wid seein him on da weekends then things will be ok for u 2.. if its dat u need to see him everyday.. then u need to find someone else whos in ur city.. good luck
