I met this guy at my best friend’s party and we really hit it off. Two days later, me, my best friend, him, and a guy friend went out but we had to cut it short. We’ve been talking for a while and he told me that he likes me and I admitted I do to. The problem is, he lives kinda far, we go to different schools, and we just met. But we really like each other. But I heard long distance things don’t really work. Should I even continue what happening then?

Long distance relationships can totally work, i've been in one for 4 years. He lives in Germany and i live in US. We started dating at 16 so contrary to what people thing, young people can be in serious relatioinships too. They are hard work but my bf and i think its worth it. They take a lot of communication, trust and honesty and in some cases a bit of creativity. My friends werent as supportive of my LDR as i would have hoped and many of them thought i was crazy, but like i said i've been with my guy for 4 years and i'm happy. I say go for it and just see if you two can do the work that is required to keep it going :). Email me if you want me to be more specific about anything or you have more questions, good luck. Oh and in response to the person above me, my bf and i don't isolate ourselves. Part of a LDR is trust and honesty, we go to parties and hang out with friends and we are just fine. So LDR are not about being trapped.

LD relationships CAN work, they are just the same as any other relationship though, with problems & things, that the LD doesn't really make any difference, as long as you have trust there between the two of you.
Think of it this way, if the person cheats, then if you have any respect for yourself, they are gone, so thats their prerogative.
But dont questions something thats going ok, just enjoy it & let nature take it's toll.
theirs no rule you know on what can & cant work.
By the way, how far os the distance?

LD relationships are tough, but they can work. My husband and I are living proof.
Basically, it's up to you. Are you prepared for the drive? The distance between you two physically? Can you handle not seeing each other for weeks on end?
Sometimes it can be good, and it's a good way to build communication and trust skills that are necessary in a relationship.
LD relationships don't mean that you are doomed. They just mean that it will take some trust and getting used to.

One of you is going to get lonely and want the company of the other. The problem is that loneliness has a way of causing you to look for someone who makes you less lonely.
If you don't date a steady person but make time for each other when you can see each other, then you can still enjoy each other's company when you get the chance without having to worry about cheating on someone and breaking their heart.
Why lock yourself into a one person thing when you may want to spend time with other friends too?
Best Wishes

If you really like him, go for it. And long distance things DO work. Trust me. My boyfriend lives about 600 miles away. AND my parents are sort of intent on breaking us up, so they put all these sanctions on our contact. The latest is that we can only write LETTERS! Actual SNAIL MAIL!! But we're still holding together. Don't give up just because he's far away.

you should continue! ive had a long distance relationship and it gave me and him time to grow and know each other more. we saw each other like once a month and eventually more because we liked each other more.. be careful though! and remember that long distance relationships are the same as regular relationships.. dont cheat on him no matter what. but ya you should go for it. youve got nothing to lose. :]

im sorry this is not a long distance relationship --- over a 1,000 is starting to get there -- and like any other relationship if both want them to work they will work --- you just need to be prepared to resolve problems as they arise --- which it seems very few people are prepared to do ----- best wishes

If you really like this guy I would continue. Why ruin the chances of something that could potentially be a really good thing?
