I only know of 1 that has worked out...usualy the guy is a bum looking
to mooch off the woman...your guy shoulda never allowed you to spend
your money to visit him to begin with...let him visit you in a nice
public area and bring a friend, never can be too cautious, inform family
or friends that you are meeting this person as well. Under no
circumstances should you take any chances with your safety.

Newguy, you've got it pegged.

My LDR is working so far, we're almost 700 miles apart.

We talked online for a while, and phone calls. He came to see me first,
met at a public place for lunch, ending up spending the day together,
and we fell totally in love with each other. We're working on closing
the gap now, but taking our time. It'll work out when it's supposed to.

We didn't talk about relocating before meeting though, why would that
even come up as an issue before you've met each other? It's possible
this guy is just out to use you, trying to see how desperate you are for
a relationship. Have him come meet you, then see how it goes. If he's
for real, it'll show.

I have personal proof that it is more than possible for long distance
relationships to work
Although if you would have asked me a month ago I would have LMAO

Word of advice


Takes more than a few months to truly get to know someone especialy when
there is distance between you. I've seen these long distance
relationships go on for couple years...they meet, get married...divorced
within a year. I'm not putting down long distance relationships by any
means but I hate seeing peoples hearts ripped out.

Best of luck to ya

Yes, LDR's do work out if both parties are being honest with each other,
and I do mean totally honest...being themselves even when you think it
might scare the other person!

Also, you must meet in person to know if you truly are compatible.
Eventually, however, the gap will have to be closed and one of you will
have to move.

Good luck to all of you! I pray you all recieve the same blessing that
I have: your one true soulmate! LDR's do work

My wife and I had a long distance relationship for 2 years before we got
married. I would try to drive down to see her once a month but then
there were times when I was deployed overseas for 4-5 months at a time.
It was hard and it takes a whole different type of loyalty but if both
want it bad enough it can work.

Before we got married we had never spent more than 2 weeks together (in
person) even though we had dated for 2 years. We just had our 7 year
anniversary last October.

As far as meeting people you met online, It can be scary and I imagine
more so for a girl. I've met a few friends IRL that I met over Xbox.
Fortunately for me, all these guys were exactly who they claimed to be.
I'd suggest you both meet for the first time in a public place, that way
you have a little added security and peace of mind.

Anything is possible, just need lots of effort to make things work.

well its posable but you both have to work at it. put all you can into
showing each other how you feal and i am shour it well be ok. also like
it was said the guy comes to you first in plubic. i am in a relationship
and the guy i am seeing lives 3 hours away we see each other every 2
weeks and its working out good. but best of luck to you.

definatly! if your both willing to make it work then no distance should
be a problem.

i myself would walk to the ends of tthe earth to be a special somone

I hope it works...

I've been with one very long distance in a very long time (2 years), we
both wanted it to work but at times circumstances occur, so we called it
quits and just be friends

They can work it takes time tho......

Yes take your time let what happens just happens be yourself and I agree
always meet a person in a public place much safer:)Good luck:)

Myself, I don't believe it will work, if u both don't try to make it
work. I have been in three ldr's, and only one of them worked out a
little. The one I am talking about, is with my roommate I am liveing
with now. We started out as friends, and then became bf and gf, and had
a child together. However though, my family came in between us, and
pushed us apart, but they don't know that we are not together though.
That is y I say I have been in three ldr's and only one worked.

no. i have tryed lond distance stuff. it dont work.

yes it does work

Why do ppl think because something didn't work for them that it can't
work. I could say meeting a guy in church doesn't work because that's
where I met my first dh. And it doesn't work if you meet in a bar cause
that's where I met #2. My last ltr was my best friend for years before
we got together, so that doesn't work either.

Anything can work, and anything might not, no matter where you meet and
how far apart you are physically. Don't think just because of your
experience with something that it's gonna be the same for everyone, or
even the same for you every time. Everybody's different, and every
experience is a new one.

I sure bleepin' hope so!

I Hope It works ... Too

Kojal speaks my mind...be safe go slow and you will know if it's gonna
work out in time
