You serious, you wouldn't do it if it were paast 15 miles away.

Understandable.. but in any case, you build on a relationship in hopes of it turning into more, than later down the line you would be together as one. <shrug>

Yeah, I understand where she is coming from, I'm not bitter or anything, just dissappointed. We are still friends. I figure if she can't handle it than I can' tget mad at her for it.

Every weekend? How far away were you?

I think that it depends on the situation and if long distance could or would change to local.

I had a reverse situation with someone I dated last summer. We met on-line. He lived way tooo close for my taste.

It was about 100 miles

100 miles is a bit far. As I said before, I think it matters if that distance can be reduced, and if so how quickly. As in "is there an end in sight?". I suppose that there are times when absence can make the heart grow fonder and there are times when it just makes you ache.

My last LDR told me he'd come to visit every month and move here as he was mobile. Of course, those things were a lie....as was everything else he told me, other than his name, DOB, and address. I guess if I got involved in another one, another LDR, I'd need a guy willing to be more than open and let me verify. I know this is my issue...

I hope that your next situation works out better. Sometimes love just isn't enough.

I am in a LDR right now...have been since March...I am in Washington state and he is in New Mexico. I am planning to relocate and hoping it'll happen before the end of summer. A LDR is like any other relationship that can be successful...key elements needed are trust, communication and honesty and the desire to be. If one can be true to themselves...then one can be true to a LDR! It can work.


Lilth...sorry Tony and I missed you in Ohio last weekend!

Ohh I know, I was in no shape to go anywhere on Sunday, Shutterbug, I had a rough Friday and it took me that long to get over it.

love if u can find it hang on to it and grow it even if she lives across the world if thats the person u make a connection with give it ur all..at least u really tried .some peeps say yay some nay but i think its more of a case to case sitch...dont tell anyone im a hopeless romantic

Never.

I wish i only had 100 miles to drive that would be a cake walk.i know people that drive further than that to their favorite resturantand that's just food.. justthink finding the one that makes your blood run hot and makes you sweat when she's not there.. just the sound of her voice makes your heart beat faster .. 100 miles no brainer for me there..it could be something else just using the distance as an out ..IMHO..but good luck don't let the distance thing stop your feelings..

Depends. Is the juice worth the squeeze. If the girl is really great, and we work together well, then i'd try it. I don't think i would want to keep it long distance for any significant length of time, like more then a year. I've been in one before, and it just ment we spent more time talking on the phone then going out and doing stuff. I do like the fact that you get a chance to get to know the person a bit more.

I would if I was happy, but some people cant handle it.

Been there, tried that.
Distance defeats spontaneity.

Not really sure if it came along again if I'd try it. I guess its like someone else said, every situation is different.
