Canada

Nah, you aren't foolish. It's normal to want to be happy. Like I said, if both parties are willing to work for it, I'm sure it's doable.

if money is all it takes I am good.... but money is not the only thing on my mind... infact its the farthest thing from #1

you will never know in advance if any relationship will work.

But it's allways wort to give it a try

Don't let anyone tell you that your relationship won't work! LDRs are tough, but trust me, stranger things have happened.

Canada is doable from the states...maybe there is a chance for you both...I wish you both well

this is true...

it takes alot more than money......but have you looked into it???? It can take thousands upon thousands of dollars. I had married an american and moved to california to be with him.....I know all about immigration

Good luck to ya. It's been my personal experience that they don't work. I'd talked to someone from online for about 3 1/2 years, off and on, and he turned out to be majorly bad news. Also, when I was a lot younger, I once dated someone in the service and that didn't work so, so I've ruled out all "long distance" relationships for myself.

Can LDR work mmmmmmmmm I'm bettin' on it

I wouldn't try one again, because of past experiences, but I hope yours works.

i have been in long distant relationships. and it all depnds on the person on how it works out.. as well to have faith and trust with the person

long distance relationships work only in marriages....then you don't have to listen to her nag all the time....

and you get that precious free time....

What do you folks mean by "work"? It depends on the definition. Sure a long distance relationship can work. For awhile. However, let's not be naive Hallmark pod people, once the giddiness has passed, the likelihood of said LDR moving forward into something lasting is pretty darn slim.

i am just saying gypsy that money is not always the obsticale we need to worry about..

LDR's will only work if ya BOTH want them to

oh wait..that's every relationship...

I see a lot of responses saying that it won't work or LDR don't work. They will if you truly want them to work. If you both have the same wants and needs.

LDR didn't work for me. But doesn't mean they will not work for you. I myself like having the person I am dating to live close by me so that I am able to see them with having to hop on a plane or a car. And having to fly/drive for several hours.

Its all about the commitment you put into and the other person puts into if they are as equally committed, chances are it will work.

Good luck

Ok Gustava. You make a point...one that I think is flawed, but I will get to that in a sec.

First of all, possibilities are endless, and is there a possibility that a relationship with someone from a distance is possible? Of course. But I will add that I feel it will take alot of effort on both parties to make it a success. Yes, in the beginning you will be giddy. You will act like little school kids. But every relationship (near or far) begins that way. It is what you do to keep the relationship fresh and invigorating that will help make it successful.

When there is distance, I think most people like to take there time to talk to someone on the net or phone to see if a first meeting is in the works. If so, you meet and you go from there. I would believe that you will know if this is going to be something that you would want to sink your teeth into.

And Gustava, one thing to note here is that all relationships have that beginning puppy love feel.(with what I said) That's cause it is fresh, new, you are happy and you are ecstatic. That is any relationship....near or far.

Yes, but the difference is, when you are able to spend time together on a regular basis, the initial giddiness transforms into something more profound. When you rarely see your partner, this crucial relationship growth is not likely to happen. People need to be WITH other people. We are social animals. We need touch and togetherness that telephones and emails can't replicate.

i can agree with this.. I also dont want to rule someone out just because they live a distance away. its not lije he even lives on a different continent
