Sometimes ur in doubt on committing relationship out of internet without seeing each other.
How can u trust someone if ur clueless who really she/he is...

shorten the distance

Despite the success that couples have had on here (i.e. Sitka and Pancho, Soufie and Krupa, Mikey and Mekay) I still honestly believe meeting someone outside of this screen is the best way to do it. Sorry guys.

You meet them at school, at work...you talk to them, get to know them...Bam...you're in a relationship.

There's nothing like everyday social interaction to get the ball rolling.

Don't let the Intetnet approach discourage you though.

You can't.

Generally I agree with this....
Its certainly not for everyone....but....

And I am sure the other couples will agree...
a relationship formed and developed here....and still going....
is something mighty special...

^^^^^Absolutely true Mikey^^^

So why ur here on site if u have no faith that LDR do exist?

Little bit of faith in this; not 100%

hi it isn't that i don't agree with Mikey but a little word of advise.

plz dont force something to work just because you want it to.

it isnt wise but hey who knows Maybe your LDR does work out after all.

As for the trusting someone online part be careful about that

wont believe the amount of prowling users we have out there "no offence"

faith has nothing to do with LDR.
you need to be smart, calculative and the hardest part if that unfaithful time does arrive You need to be ready to let go.

It depends on the people in the relationship. There are those who are genuine and those who will play you.
It is up to you what you are comfortable with.
Actions will always speak louder than words, if he says one thing, yet does another constantly, he is unreliable.
If you catch him in lies, he is a liar.
If he keeps his word and rings or messages when he says he will, he is reliable.
Etc
Trust takes time to build. You need to trust your instinct also.
It is also not in your best interests to trust a stranger, spend a lot of time getting to know them.
Good luck.

Agree.....smile

Yeah...instinct really works for us girls

I have to respectively disagree here...

Faith along with honesty is one of the biggest key's to making any relationship work.

LDR'S can and do work, I have 4 of my friends that are happily married and going on 3-5 years of marriage...

LDR'S take work a lot of work...
To keep it real..I.E. honest
To keep the communication real, honest, and open


To be creative... There will be time when the distance seems like it will never be overcome.

I also believe that one of the biggest pitfalls in a LDR is not meeting and building up a fantasy about the other person I have seen it time and time again.

I do think that is would be almost impossible with small children involved due to so many custody issues.

OP keep any relationship real.. As hard as that is in inperson or the net.
I personally believe in keeping all options open whether it is the internet or in person..

The ultimate objective of starting a relation is to live together and share each other's lives. The beginning of a relationship may happen online in such social networking sites but it has to be taken to the next level like phone calls, video calls, chats etc.

If you don't meet soon, and get to know the person in real, it may be disappointing or heart breaking.

Some will measure the distance.

Some will measure the love.

Take your pick.

IMO, the key to success in a distance is communication, a strong communication either via online chat, phone calls, n phone messaging. its is only thru communication, verbal or written that you get to know someone and get acquinted. it is during this period of communication that you gain the trust of the other party and they also gain your trust...The key is simply communication

distance means less when someone mean so much,i believe everything happen for reason and what goes around comes around so is true what sitkarain said it depends on your words,actions and believes that if u feel something might happen then you will make it happen due to your believes and is true you might be wrong but you have to try it and consider it is your first time no matter how many people told u isn't working,good luck.

The success to a long distance relationship is to keep it long distance!! Get together every so often... Have a banging good time then back to long distance

One has to pick your statement apart. You CANNOT trust anyone who you are clueless about. Trust takes time and a lot of communication in different forms. When you know the person well enough to know who they really are, then the possibility of trust comes in to play.
