Do you believe in long-distance relationships?

Posted: May 31, 2008, 3:46 PM CST
I mean, is there a point to them? Is there a point to just talking to someone on the phone or communicating through just im and emails, but not in person because of the distance?.. And eventually just meeting up with them.. say.. once a year because A lives in New York and B lives in L. A., for example?.. Or here's another scenario.. Let's say you start dating someone.. and fall for them quick, but.. then they tell you that they want to join the military and sign the contract for four years... What would you do? Would you still keep it up?? I mean, you'd only see that person twice a year.. and maybe (?) still have feelings for them after a few months?

To me, these kind of relationships don't make sense.. I mean, I was friends with this one girl, and she told me that she LOVES a guy that lives in South Carolina or something.. But, she's never even met the guy!!! HOW THE HELL COULD YOU LOVE SOMEONE YOU HAVEN'T EVEN MET FOR CRYING OUT LOUD?.. and better yet..HOW COULD YOU KEEP UP SOMETHING WITH A PERSON THAT IS CONSTANTLY ABSENT? I believe you love someone and grow with someone by sharing life experiences, spending a lot of time, and really getting to know them. Also, physical contact being physically present (in my eyes, at least) is what keeps the spark alive.. I mean, if you almost never get to see someone, don't you kind of even forget what exactly they look like?dunno

SORRY, BUT FOR ME ABSENCE DOES NOT MAKE THE HEART FONDER...

Yes...the point to it is a deep love and respect you have. That is way more important than any distance.

I was in a LDR...she lived 650 miles from me. It didn't work out but I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!

I feel the same way but keep in mind that the world has gotten smaller in the recent past.Who is to say that the one you fall for wouldn't get a plane ticket to make it work.the question is are you willing to relocate or is he willing to relocate.Before you get into too deep ask the right questions.
Good luck.thumbs up
