WHEN IN "LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP"

Most often than not, the purpose of dating online is to meet friends whom we can be friends forever or can be more...

When you meet someone online, when the chemistry is right, it is understood that you want to know each other better...so correspondence keeps coming...every day if not every hour...

Until both of you decided to give it a try...

Long distance relationship is not easy... it has many challenges.
but they say, with the advent of technology, the downside of being away is minimized, it gets you connected wherever you maybe...

BUT when the getting to know each other better stage is OVER, when yo are comfy with each other...what to expect?

CSers:
How often do you want the other to correspond with you?

What is the minimum frequency of communication do you think is healthy to the so called LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP to keep it going?

Wish you ALL a pleasant time

wave annie,,,Eg for me after lets say 4 to 6 weeks of video skyping, etc I think I would start planning to meet.If after the meet, that possibly/hopefully lasts 2 or 3 months, we are still sure about our feelings then a LDR won't work for me, as Im the kind of person that wants the real thing yesterday. jmohandshake
hello Lukeon,

Thanks for the input...
your point is well taken and is a real help
wish you a pleasant time beer
I dont believe you can feel chemistry through a screen so how can you tell if its there?
LDR not for me.
Hi. If the feeling is there...and my minimum requirements are met...I would correspond at least once a day...and maybe twice.
When the real feeling is there, you just cannot spend an hour without thinking about that special someone.
And if you realize that the feeling is mutual...and that the other person is doing all the right moves ( trying to communicate frequently, expressing their feelings towards you....) you just can never get enough. Of course, both parties have to be emotionally available...heart beating

I don`t really know ,kinda depends on how long have we being communicating .In the beginning we do kinda like to have a more frequent and more often talks until we see if there is a mutual chemistry,common interests and views ,chances for a real life meeting ...
hello Glatlol,

I got your point...

Emailing/chatting/skyping is not enough to really say chemistry is in the air...

Thanks for your comment wine

have a pleasant time
Hi Pablo29,

I got it...

seeing the other in person is the least one can do to really assess things..

Thank for sharing your thoughts...
It's appreciated. bouquet

have a lovely time
drinking I wouldnt be interested in a Ldr. It would be a wasite of time for me. And the other person as well. Saving money, just to see each other, from time to time only. When i can be with someone else in my state, as well as being with someone in my town or next to my town..
hello Boban1,


Meeting the other in person is best

your comment is much appreciated. bouquet

Have a wonderful time

Hello Annie, well I am wondering - what if only one side is inerested and the other person only wants to chat?

Sorry, forgot to mention: a wonderful blog! peace
Communicate at least once a day!

Then eventually you'll know how to proceed. Regardless of the naysayers feelings about feeling love or interest "by computer" you just have to know for yourself. I feel it and know it.
Hi Ed,
How wonderful that you can feel that! But, can we really know if a person just only wants to be kind or if there is more of an interst? dunno
I never wasted my time for something that sounds so superficial... I am always in awareness... I've been joining here for 7-8 months and I had some conversation with some... they didn't realize that I was interviewing them...and 80% of them only seek "holiday girls" ....so around 4 months ago I decided to stop for LDR... I'd rather settle down to a good person near my place... Settle down to a good person with mutual attraction (and respects) is what I am seeking....applause
Hi Monika,

Yeah, that keeps me wondering as well.

Thanks for your idea, much appreciated. hug

Have a pleasant time
Hi Ed,

Hi

I've done a lot long distance dates, someone was visiting me, some people i visited, but mostly it was more about traveling and having fun in different country. I'm not sure if someone would like to have relationships when the most you need a hug or a kiss you must call skype and send virtual one.

Long distance can exist if you're in a same or neighbour country, but talking about overseas and very long distance it woun't work properly. Usually it stays just as "friends" or "friends with benefits".
Well I think that eventually an LDR has to become a coupling with one or the other choosing to leave their home town or their country to live together as partners.

Friendships can continue through cyber-space, telephone calls, etc. But this is not relationship in the sense of two people living together, sharing their lives in real, sharing the bathroom, sharing living arrangements, etc. You know, the real stuff.

How much communication is healthy depends on the couple, the commitment, and the intention.

Until my GF is granted her VISA to live with me, we talk every night for an hour or so, as well as email.

But this is just us. Others do things differently. How much you may need to communicate with your chosen partner if you are in a LDR is between you and your partner.

If you feel uncomfortable with the amount of communiation or the frequency (or the lack thereof) then this is something for you and your partner to discuss and come to an agreement about.

Ultimately, LDR must move on to become real, or it will die a natural death. It is just a matter of time, money, and red-tape.....
banana I think they can work but yes at times are hard but thats where communicatin and honesty comes in, and so what if you have to spend some money to visit the person who you enjoy time with even if its on skype phone etc til you meet and get more of the reali idea of how it can go?
Finding someone you are compatible with and all the other stuff isnt super easy to find, and I know when my boyfriend somes here to visit soon and if things go good as they are so far, we will make plans for me to move to his country and its ok with his family...Different things work for differnt people...Your soulmate doesnt have to be next door...its about patience,communication,what God (or fate to some) wants to happen and if its meant to be it will happen,...along with both partners efforts...Different things work for differnt people...angel
