we live in modern times, and thus our preconceived traditional concepts of what is a relationship clash with the new communication methods available to us. I believe LDR can work providing you look at it with a new perspective, reserve your expectations and are both on the same page.
Besides, chat with anyone long enough and they'll get on your nerves just like a "real" person will....laugh

Love will not jump into your heart when you barely let it know it is welcome there. If you see love and you do not move to grasp it, It can be gone from you forever. Love needs to know you want it. So let him/her know. Be clear. Grab hold and don't let go. Love wants you too :heart:

I've been in an LDR. It didn't work out for me but I think it was because he lived close to me to being with and then moved. Got mixed up with a crowd I didn't agree with and then things started falling apart. He wasn't home when I called, didn't call me back for days. Then we had a big fight over the phone and it was over but he kept calling me until his sister-in-law told him i said we had broken up. And he's the one that said we were either engaged or not dating and I took the not dating and started seeing someone else.

I think it would be easier to fall in love with somebody long distance. When you date in the traditional sense, you get to see little enough of the "real" other person as it is. This would be magnified by seeing each other only occasionally.
And personally, I'd be careful to get involved with someone without knowing the family. Did that once, BAD mistake mad

or maybe I don't think enough ohwell

I think you're asking yourself the right question's. Maybe you should have weekend visit's to get an idea of what your answer's may be.
i agree

I agree LDR's are really tough to make work no matter how hard you want it to work.....My home is here in California...my friends, my job, my family, & I love SoCal....so i'm not moving out of state....i used to bring this issue up with Deb over in MatchMaking thread cause she was pairing me all the way to the other coast....but then again there are some wonderful people on the East Coast & in between.....so on the one hand it feels too far & yet on the other hand you could miss out on that special person....now if i include my toes, it really gets complicated...drinker

Another scary thought on LDR's...

Sometimes I can't stop my mind from twirling and I pondered over this late into the night...
Relationships take time to form...it takes time to learn all of the little idiocyncrosis (sp?) about each other.
What they do that irritates you? What do you do that irritates them? Do you like their relatives? Do they like yours?
etc. etc...you get the idea....well, in a long distance relationship where you really can only see each other for a limited time....how do you learn these things
well enough to make any major decisions later on? I mean like possibly living together? In a LDR things can get sooo intense so fast because you really want what you think you can't have...that you might jump too quick! Moving along with your brain on hold. I think maybe you can fall for someone far away...but can it really work?
What are your thoughts on this? Are these genuine concerns or am I just nuts?

Simple really...don't expect anything that hasn't been said, don't go somewhere expecting money (just an example). You expect something more than your going to get, so it fails. That followed by honesty and trust, and it fails again. Trust your partner be upfront with your partner and most importantly be 100% honest when asked certain questions...flawless. Unfourtanetly we are human, and born with inherant flaws no less...so this can't be achieved by everyone.
