What do you mean by "long distance"? An hour of travel, a day, a week, or ... let's say two different countries. |

... let's say two different countries. Still imprecise. Think of Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City ... You need to specify distance or time of travel. |

You need to specify distance or time of travel. its not about which country or what is the exact distance to call it a long distance relationship.. what i am trying to say here is if two people from a different place, religion, culture, ethnicity.. would work between them.. |

Are you okay with that or not, and why? First off, let me clarify that to be in a long distance relationship to me means that you have met in person but live in different cities that are a ways away. If you have to think about stopping at gas stations or getting on a plane to see each other then I would call that long distance. I do not consider just talking online to be a relationship, that is more of a pen-pal thing. Now I say it does not work because you are not able to spend enough time together to have a close relationship. Even if you were together for a long time and one had to move away, it seems like either jealousy or just a simple disconnect happens. But that is just me... |

My point, probably based on my early training in mathematics, is that you can't meaningfully discuss a subject until the other party clearly knows what you mean by saying something. With definitions out of the way, I don't think that a relationship can work unless you and the other person can regularly and easily meet face to face. |

Yeah, that is why I was trying to ask about the relationship part also. From the other threads it seems that a lot of people think a long distance relationship can be with someone that they meet online but never in person. To me that is more of a pen-pal and not something I would consider a relationship...at least not a one like I am thinking of as a typically relationship. So if it is just a pen-pal type relationship then there should be a lot less problems with the distance...lol |

Usually people who ask about "long distance relationships", much like the folks who ask about interracial relations, are living in places they want to get out of.
