Hi everyone
Please can anyone enlighten me on long distance relationship

how long exactly ?
use centimeters please , not inches

My husband an I met online, both were living in different states. You have to ask a lot of questions, and can do "dates" by going to different sites and playing games on yahoo or pogo, or, pick a movie while you have a webcam and each watch it from your home at the same time!

Are you or the other person willing to travel and relocate?
Are prepared for the expenses?
Are you a patient person?

If you answer no to any of these I'd say don't even think about a ldr.

Don't do it. Or do it, but don't let it get serious unless one of you relocates period.

Yea ldrs suck and not in the good way.

A scariest thing about distance is that u don't know whether they will miss you or they forget u

It's not easy by any means. And both parties have to actually want the relatioship to work. If one person say it wont work, then his/her heart will never be in the relationship to begin with. He/she will ALWAYS say "And this is why this will never work"
You have to be willing to make time for one another because of the distance. It is harder than a normal relationship in my opinion....

It's not a great feeling

Hi there is nothing wrong with long distance relationship, it usually be the dishonesty of the individuals, ehwn filling out their profile info, they say they will accept someone from anywhere in the word, you make contact get comfortible with the other person and when you decide to make a move to travel they then will tell you that you are too far away.

if someone be honest with themselves they will only accept people in a reagion that they can afford to travel to and from and that the other party can travel to as well, check on visa and documentation restrictions of that country.

I live in Turks and Caicos, and had a long relationship with someone from the Bahamas, there are daily flights between the both countries, no visa restrictions, and very affordible, we travel back and forth to meet each other on a regular basis up to the time of her passing, so long distance relationship is not about the distance it is about the honesty in the individual.

if you can afford it do it, and remember there is no monetary value on true love and honsety.

it is filly based on trust and commitment towards eachother

That it has hope all is well.

Especially don't do a long distance relationship for a long period of time. Anything over about 6 months is very bad if you haven't previously lived with the person.

You will fall in love with the


LONG DISTANCE VERSION of the person.


which is a totally different version then the


IN PERSON VERSION


In a long distance relationship you don't have to deal with all the real relationship interaction issues. You get to have the fantasy, believe in your mind it is real, and you get to avoid all the problems that affect actually living with someone.


Odds are VERY high it won't last a year after you truly get to know each other.

Hello dear. I'm happy for you. I'm also looking forward to meet someone who is real maybe we can settle down too. I'm black and I prefer a white friend. can you help me connect?

Long distance relationships do not progress well. Long distance relationships get harder and harder to just keep. Its expensive. Its not feeling closeness with someone. Especially if you need to feel the other persons energy around you.

You can learn a lot about each other before meeting up, but I believe you need to meet sooner rather than later so you can both decide if you want it to work. As others have said, there are a number of things you need to think about as well as the costs of just meeting up, which you would need to do several times in order to really get to know each other, not an easy option in my opinion.
