A friend of mine is moving to Hawaii for 6 months and is still in a relationship. she may stay after the 6 months and her man is not going out there with her. This just made me start thinking about long distance relationships and how far is too far.
I feel that in the forum world this might be great topic because its easy to start to get o know and hit it off wit someone who is just so not anywhere near where you live

anything over 7" is too far for me to have relations

how can you continue a relationship if there is distance involved?
if it starts long distance and love brings them together that is one thing
but to move away from your love???

This is a huge topic in the forums and THE biggest hurdle...but those that feel that the relationship is worth it have found ways to overcome the distance problem....no matter how far

...didn´t work for me...

It really depends on the people in the relationship...sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. Mine really didn't:/

For me too far would be Antartica

If there's really not an end in sight... either he goes there eventually or she comes back, then what's the point of keeping it going??

I dabbled with the LDR thing in 2006, and I would never do that again. If she's any farther than 6 blocks away, I'll pass. Unless it's really nice outside, then I might go 8 or 9.

I always believed there were no limits on love...

I have talked to 2 guys recently who require their "woman" to relocate to be with them, one is in Canada, one is in Greece.

If I ever got to that point, it would be a hard decision, I have grandkids here in the States, etc. I would have to be "head over heels" to give up everything and move to another country. It would be an excruciating decision, and if it fell through then you would have to come back and start all over again, that would be a very scary risk to take. (But, the one did have me thinking. Hmmmmmm.)

Me too!!!

How sad everyone doesn't believe that way...

I think a lot believe, but are afraid with the way our economy is going and all. If someone were to give up their home and job and move across country and it didn't work, then it would be a nightmare to try to move back and start allover, considering the work situation and all.

They say that love has no boundries!!

I have not found one yet that made me see that but who knows what one would really do if they found the love they could not do without?

i like making out over the phone instead of face to face

i am being sarcastic

Traditional dating is impossible with too much distance to gap. I don't imagine you can get to know someone well enough to move to them or ask them to move to you based on occasional get togethers and nightly phone calls. It's a formula for disaster if you ask me.

I think the older people get, the more selfish they become. The more rules and stipulations they put on their love.
...I can't blame all of them because more than likely they have been burned.

Agreed. Three formulas, three disasters for me. Don't really see the point in a fourth one. I'll stay right here and oogle the girl in the grocery store.

Mine has only one condition. That you love me back. Other than that it's unconditional. At least that's the way I feel.

I've been burned, but I can't expect someone new to pay for the sins of others for lack of better words.

How about asking her out instead.
