5hrs = Hop/skip/Jump

You both make it work or NOT.

I tried it a few times. It's not for me. Sooner or later someone has to move though.


Same here, I tried it and it was a disaster. I can't find anyone interesting any closer, though, either.

They can work. But eventually, someone's gotta move. And that is a decision that has to be made VERY early on a relationship, whether you or she is willing and able IF. Because if not, there's no way it can work out long-term.

My man and I are 2-1/2 hours apart. It is going just fine. We both make getting together a priority. It has to be important to you and requires more effort than a local relationship. But if he/she is worth knowing, then it is completely doable.

I have met a lady on another site and she lives 5 hours from me.

Are long distances relationships a reality?




Dear mark77,

1.560 miles are considered to be quite a long distance (Athens, Greece to Leeds, UK). Phone calls every day for about one hour. Manage to live under the same roof for 81/2 months per year. It paid back every effort. .

That was my experience.

And I will do it again if it occurs and I will decide to enter such a relationship.

Difficult decisions have to be made concerning relocation in due time to drive the relation in to another level.

Are you willing to drive that far once every other week. Is she willing to drive that far once every other week? If so then you would be able to see each other every week. That could work if you are only dating. But if you are talking a serious relationship, as someone posted earlier, one of you will have to eventually move. Are one of you willing to do that if it gets to that point?

LDRs can work if both put forth the effort. If you truly care about the person and they care about you, it is worth it. Apparently.laugh

Dude, 5 hours isn't really that far!


That's what I was thinking. 5 hours is short for this site.

I think it is totally dependent upon the type of people involved. IF the physical part of a relationship is a priority, long distance is probably not going to be very fulfilling. If chemistry and conversation and compatibility are priority,, the distance may give you a more honest opportunity to decide if you really are into that person and not just their looks or how they 'feel.'

If you dont agree to be monogamous, yes it could work.

I'm 2 hours from someone I date and it just makes the phone calls and emails more special.
