:::thumbs back throo blonde dictionary:::

Hello to you "Happy Horned One from the Wild West"!

Like your new photo.

What's a "curtain twitcher"? Have checked my "blonde dictionary" and my CS "table of terms"... can't find it anywhere!

I don't think anyone is being cynical here, good thread!

helllooo beb .... ermmm there also got to be cake as per claairree and chock as per me and ermmm some gifts and cooking and you know ... its quite simple .. trust plus few other things

thats all actually .. sweet and nice ..

Jaded Cynical Wenches!!! Great.....where's the party. I'll bring a few flagons and some Chinese take away

Don't worry on this one I am not blonde and I didn't get any of that! hehehe but it sounded good!

Yeah I absolutely agree.. you can have someone living in your own town.. or as you say.. your house. But if you don't put effort into it then it's going to go wrong isn't it.

Tho LDRs are definitely harder... it makes it much harder to just to do even the teenest things you want too.. spontaneously.

Absense does not make the heart grow fonder.
It creates an illusion of this for a finite period of time.
IMO, it creates distance between the couple that needs to be somehow filled with physical presence.

I would never make the same mistake and enter a long-distance relationship for an unspecified amount of time. The lack of the soothing touch, the smile, kiss and hug is irreplicable.

The only exception i see to this is when there is a permanent get-together in the foreseable future and the long-distance thing is just a very temporary thing.

Long distance relationships will last as long as the people involved in it stay commitited. once one loses there commitment it is over!

I had a long didstance relationship was great we really brought it together I even moved to be with him. lasted 5 years after that would have lasted a lot longer if we had not both put the other one before our selves so much.
But I am a firm beleiver in starting a long distance relationship as long as you both want it, and your both commited to it, And commited to completeing it, at some point in time. It is not fair to either you if you have no intention of ever really being together.

We are all looking for that so called soulmate, well so many never found there true mate, because they could only look in thee own back yard. now thanks to the internet we have the world as our back yard. Aint it great!

Hello everyone hope you don't mind me adding my opinions

and I did not mention that I worship the ground he walks on.. and that if it nothing more does come of it.. then I'm going to become a nun.. wear chastity belt.. and take a vow of silence..(Whilst living in a hut at the back of beyond... having grown a beard.. and reeeeeeeeally long (claw like) finger nails)

so i said ..
ermmm you want to mention it now ?? go on dear claiiree .. feel comfy ..say it .. pls say it ....

ermmm you hear me ???

Saaay waaaat?

Just found this on my news page this morning..

These days, more and more people are meeting partners who live at the other end of a country – or even the other side of the world. With all that extra pressure, is it possible to keep long-distance relationships alive? Long haul love
How does it happen? Well, with internet dating now one of the most popular way to meet new people, it’s increasingly likely that people will hook up with a partner who lives far away. And, increasingly, couples already in a committed relationship are under pressure from work to move or to spend periods of time away from home travelling. These couples are more likely to sustain their relationship because the foundations are already sound. But still, it’s a strain, especially if children are involved.

How to keep the magic alive

Communication
It’s important for a couple to be scrupulously honest, to be able to express anxieties and to get reassurance. You are in this together.
Shared vision
Both parties have to be really clear about why the relationship is important and long-term goals. Without this transparency, and an appreciation of shared goals and the long-term view, the relationship is less likely to last.

Contact
Leaving the news and intimacy to your next visit can place a burden on the relationship. Don’t plan to much for the visit - make sure you have proper downtime to relax. In between visits, sending short daily texts and emails and talking on a web cam can keep the relationship alive. Sending little gifts through the post can help keep the relationship feeling special and close.Trust
This is the biggest issue for long-distance relationships. You both need to be incredibly aware of the unique pressure on the relationship. Acceptance contributes towards making trust work in this situation. It’s not possible to know what your long-distance partner is doing 24/7, but think of it this way, if you lived together – would you necessarily know any more about what goes on in their day? It’s important to retain perspective.Anticipation
The benefit of long-distance love is sweet-sour. The honeymoon period of a relationship is likely to last much longer because there is a greater sense of anticipation leading up to a visit. The downside is that often anticipation can turn to anti-climax. Couples need to accept this possibility and not take it personally.

Don't believe everything you read

I never said I DID.. I just found it on the news page this maaaarrrnin and thought it was quite relevant for 'ere.

I know i was only joking
