would you be able to be in an LDR without ever meeting the person in person and would you consider it a relationship if you never met?

Personally, I could see it as a possibility but not a relationship until you've met and spent time with them...

I'm not sure how long I would deal with an actual LDR, I've never really been open to one... I considered it once or twice but that's as far as it went...

I would not be able to consider it a relationship until we met. Before then, I would just consider it as getting to know each other. But, I don't know that I could deal with it for a long time. I prefer dating someone I can actually see and spend time with.

It would take a helluva lot of convincing, since I've been burned once...however, being the eternal optimist, I'm learning to never say never. But as far as considering it a relationship without having met that person...lol, not this time!

I've had a little experience with this and I would not consider it a real relationship until you had met and spent at least some time with the other person. How long you could maintain an LDR depends on the couple. Obviously, we have some couples here that do it very well and it works fine. For most, I think it's just too hard.

But, you have to meet in person and spend some time together at some point. JMO.

WELL,,good question and YOU WANT TO START ONE WITH ME..

And then we're SEE,,,?....wink,lol

I have had one,,but it was a short time before us meeting,,and IF NOT THAT,,I am not sure how long I'd be ok,,with wanting to meet her
but couldn't, as far as thinking or feeling WE WERE in a dating relationship with each other....NOTHING replaces or comes even close to REALLY being together to see and experence life through the real emotions shared in expressions and voice as you see each others eyes and have their touch to know as,,them,,and cool..wink

THATS my REAL of it anyway....wink

The long distance is a pain in the azz but we are making it work for now.

The relationship without ever having met? I'm not sure about it, I know there are people who are 'in' one but I have seen people on here swear how much they love each other....until the day they met and found out little or even big things they didn't know about each other.

I couldn't do a LDR. I don't consider it a relationship. I am willing to talk to someone as long as it takes for them to get comfortable enough to meet, within reason.

I mean, I can wait a few months or so to meet, but if we're talking for like a year or something, and you still don't want to meet, that's not going to work out. Though, I do have many online friends, which is what I would consider you, if we don't meet.

I have found the perfect woman for me.

Yes, the distance is a pain, but the rewards are well worth it.

I was in one for a year before we met. She drove to see me in Dallas, Texas from Tuscon, Arizona. About a 13 hour drive. We stayed in a relationship for another year after that. I saw her 4 more times in that year. It was difficult. She almost moved here to be with me... But it was right then when too many complications ruined it, and made it impossible. I will tell you this. I met her on here when it was Just say hi.

There is no secret. It goes back to the basic things of a relationship. Trust and the ability to cummunicate. We talked for over three months before we met in person, and not once before then did we use the "L" word.

Of all things, I get jealous of a guy in New York that gets to take her to dinner every once in a while.
