Humm to me until you actually meet them face to face and spend time with them then it is not a relationship. But that does not mean I would date anyone else for I did not in the past. As far as how long 2-3 months at max for me. I have done a LDR once and it is hard one of use flew to the other at least every other month makes it tough. When you are only getting to spend 3-7 days with each other every other month.

Some it works for me I want someone that I can spend more time with and see them more then that.

I would never do it with that much distance between me and another again. If it was within reasonable driving distance where we could see each other at least every weekend then I would consider it with the right person.

I want to know TheCaptain and eileena9 secret to make it work!


laugh

We treat it as though we were together but one is away on a business trip, I guess you would say. Neither one of us makes a big decision without talking it over with the other, we probably spend as much time as a couple who are physically 'together' do talking to each other during the day. We are on the same page for most things so we know what the other will say about issues. And when we do get together....we make a honeymoon out of it.blushing blushing :banana:

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.


Babe!!! He's 66 years old and married!!! I know his wife and kids!!!laugh laugh I showed you what he looks like!

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 consider us in a committed relationship until we met and spent some time together. I have learned the hard way on this one. You cannot know the person at all through mail and stuff.

Mine wasn't an internet relationship, mostly with letters and calls having seen each other maybe twice in almost a year. And when we decided to live together it was not good. I should have still dated him when we started living in the same area. He having his own place and me too. I would have learned more about him that way.

I have not really had any experience until lately, but I am finding that if you put the time and effort in before you meet, that the meeting is great.
Then comes the working out part, Hmmmmmm Im still in the meeting part , I think that you have to meet to really be in a relationship, to know that you feel the same as you did online.
I guess I now get to see how the working out part works out. LOL hate having to have patience..
