most women want their men to give them 100percent of their attention,so to me in order not to make your lady feel the distance between the two of u!promise to talk to her everyday,text her as much as u can in a day and start making plans to meet her from the very first day the relationship started.With this i think she wouldn't feel the distance like expected


I don't know... some people like to jump-start their relationships, some others prefer to kick it into gear.

Yet some others still, jump in head first.

Nobody, absolutely nobody, starts are relationship based on distance.

In fact, how do you "start a relationship"? That sounds too un-American to me.

Do u need to consider distance before starting a relationshi

Definitely.
Anyone next door is SOL.


Move somewhere else, girl.

Nobody wants to date a girl
who lives in a cubicle in the
men's room at the stadium.

It's appalling many young people seem to like next-door relationships and, as I've found out, 8 out of 10 of such affairs crashes on soft stones within a year or two.

Many things I've figured are responsible for the cravings for such neighbourhood relationships as well as their eminent failures. Many people can't differentiate their desire for frequent sex and cheap romance from what they really want in a relationship.

Apart from lack of self-knowledge, another failure-factor is insecurity - and this one is a two-edged sword. Many young people cringe at the thought of going out to meet strangers or persons far from their neck of the woods for sex or fun, causing them to eagerly clinch to their hoods and enjoy what's available.

There are more reasons...


I bow to you. You are a very reasonable man.

And a funny one...

Well said, I like it.

nope.for me the determining factor is if she'll show me her boobs or not smokin


They're for my unborn children. Who MADE up this rule??


You come from a weird family tree of evolution.

In mine, unborn children have no use for ****. Case closed.

And to answer your question: as with most other things, it was that intelligent designer who made this rule (who else).

I'd never want 100% of anyone's attention. That would suffocate me.

My sentiments exactly! Also, I was in a long distance relationship for many years...never again! Lol Having said that, there is a sweet side to long distance relationships. Every time you see each other it feels like Christmas because of the months you've spent apart. This in turn makes the sex and everything else you do together feel so much more special and hot! Rawwr! Umm...anyway I'm still saying no to long distance because the time in between those amazing weekends/weeks together are very hard and some other factors which I won't get into now! Lol

I thihk if two people connect on a true level of of attraction emotionally and phyically that distance wouldn't be an issue. However, getting to know someone from a distance is difficult. It's all about the desire of wanting to know that person. In my opinon! lol :wink:


Exactly. It's the "getting to know" part that proves very difficult. In my experience an LDR can move way too fast because of a connection you feel with someone online. But, that connection doesn't always pan out in real life. It's also very easy for someone to mislead you, intentionally or unintentionally about who and what they are in and LDR.

It's very expensive to travel to meet someone (or have them travel to meet you) in order to become better friends. And, better friends is what has to happen before either person can make a commitment to take the relationship further.

The last LDR I was in went from 0 to 60 in just a couple of months, which ended up causing me so much stress I got sick. It was as much my fault as it was his. I should have slowed it down. But, it doesn't matter whose fault it was. All I know is that I won't do that again. And, since most guys can't fly out for a meet and greet and subsequent dates, it doesn't seem likely I'll be in an LDR again.

Ditto. In fact, some days even 50% would be too much.

he's in Australia and im in the US. its not easy but i trust him, i haven't been able to do that with the"boy next door" i figure after multiple failed attempts why second guess his loyalty when he hasn't let me down once? so once i got past the whole"he could be a major fraud" thing i actually became really comfortable with it. he's moving here early next year...we'll see what happens.

I don't need 100% of his attention. He needs to have his own life as well. If he drops everything for me, including friends, there's a problem already.

But yes, distance is very important. I am not looking for anything long distance.

IMHO.....a distance relationship can work. But the problem comes when both parties don't have a "game plan" to make it work. I've done one in the past and I would do another. Why limit yourself? And why, even after having one fail, would one assume LDR's always fail? Are they easy? Nope. But two people can do it if they want it to work. I travel with the work I do so I'm more open to em. I can make my home base anywhere I choose. So I don't have that "restriction" that most have. Still, even saying that, I wouldn't limit myself.

Does this mean you are finally ready to admit you are madly, passionately in love with me and we're gonna get married?
