lol alea

Yes eventually you are gonna want one, or better yet, the both of you to
move if you want it to go anywhere permenant (permenant means towwards
live in, marriage, or even just seeing each other regularly). But, call
me old fashioned, I still do not believe in moving in with a person
immediately or even before talk of marriage or similar.

Long Distance Relationships are possible, its takes a strong commitment
between Parties,,, Trust and Communication is the key, being able to
deal with everyday life knowing that your other half loves you and
trusts you is the biggest factor in this equation,,

luvis......I am sure that some do work out and are genuine, but, from
your first post, it doesn't sound like you are comfortable at this time.
Being nervous is one thing, but maybe you should slow things down a bit,
get to know him more before meeting him. How much do you really know
about him and who he is? Far too many deceiver's online girl...slow
down, be careful and things will fall into place. You should both agree
on a public and neutral meeting place, let your friends/family know
where you are going.

The fact that he wants you to relocate to him should be something to
think about now, if you are deadset on not moving, before investing
anything. If you want to chat further about this very subject, please
feel free to email me bigsmile

Get as much information about this man as possible. I am curious? is he
into the BDSM lifestyle? Be very careful if so. I know several online
sisters who were almost murdered by a "master" or a BDSM situation. They
flew to him and were almost killed. Fantasy is fun. Reality can cost you
your life. Leave a note by your phone in the event you do not return.
Leave a note with someone you TRUST before meeting this man in the event
you dont return. Granted peeps are nosey and will have that letter
steamed open before you turn the corner on the next block but it could
save your life. Call him at his JOB and at his HOME. NO CELL PHONES. too
many fakes and liars and lets face it PSYCHOPATHS. ALWAYS listen to
your inner voice or womens intuition. the good lord gave it to you. If
you feel wrong then LEAVE or do not go. Make HIM come to you if he is
from out of state. NEVER meet in a motel room or secluded area. Take
your cellphone and always drive your own car so you can bolt out the
back door if needed. LDR's can work. I was in one and I am now living
2500 miles from my hometown and HATE IT. The one good thing that came
from mine is my child. Please exercise common sense and always be very
very careful. flowerforyou

I once thought a long distance relationship could last, but now I know
better. I do have a few really good friends now though, and I met a
really wonderful woman right In my own back yard.So don't give up.You
never know, it may just work out for you, it may not.

<<luv>> how long have you known him? because I just broke up with my
online bf, he was from the USA, I am from the Philippines, but mind you
we had a great relationship for two years, well we had established a
good communication, but lately his time was focused more on his job, so
we decided to just be friends since he couldnt make up his mind yet when
to come and visit me. but yes, LDR may work to others while not to some,
it is just a matter of honesty and trust, plus patience. good luck to
you, just be positive happy

If what is meant is an 'ETERNAL' long distance relationship? NO! NOT
ONLY WILL IT NOT WORK BUT IT IS NOT WORKING! U can't GRAB each other
except like 'once a year when at least one of U get vacation and have
the funds for a rendevouz. But If that 'long distance relationship' is
known to SOON lead to you two coming together, like one being able to
relocate, why would it not? U will spend the waiting period looking for
issues that causes break-ups to discuss and reveal how much
COMPATABILITY is present. All distances can be DILUTED by an airplane.

Long distance relationships are hard. How do you really know someone is
"worth" the relocation after meeting? even after a couple months?
Remember people put their best foot forward.

long distance relationship will work if some where down the line the
distance becomes a lot shorter. . .

I think it is

If parties are willing to compromised

And if they're willing to take the challenge

Not easy to do nor impossible :wink:

long distance can work if both partys involved commit totally to
it....and work together to close the gap.
