Long distance relationship.

Trust, distance, time differences, those are what I find challenging about long distance relationship. What else do you think the challenges? Please share, as I really want to overcome this. I have never been good at this, always last less than 3 months... which actually makes me think why I stay in this site grin but then I still enjoy the blogs and some friends I have made here, though lately it seems more hatred than love showed here.

Anyway, back to long distance relationship, what do you find challenging about it?

In my case I tried to connect women from western europe

but no luck...maybe because the distance

or just they thought I was a gold digger.dunno
Bunga,
Any specific reason for western europe? I never think about any specific country nor race, it just didn't work dunno
trust, communication and the lack of touch( togetherness)
choco,
agree! distance and time differences become the obstacle of communication, which become obstacle of trust, and lack of touch just make it worse... so... no to long distance relationship?
sara

I was thinking on moving to Europe...I was in the army

stationed in Germany...so, I learned to love Europe

and their way of life. I still do.
Bunga,
that explains. Well I hope you find what you are looking for here handshake
like you i have been there and done that, im not saying never again, just grow weary of itmoping
im not known for my patience also so it will work if both people want it to work and one has to move
Sara

the hope is gone...I've been here for 2 years

now I'm into the blogs and poet's corner.

That's all.typing
Fear of the unknown ...It's really hard to be in a relationship with someone who lives far away confused
what will happen?
How can this succeed?
How can this last?
What is going to happen?

I think thats one of the art of ldr,mbak hug
Choco,
yeah, I am sometimes, or most of the time, impatient too... and surely in the end one has to move.

Bunga,
no, don't give up, someone is out there for everyone, take Vulpin and Nessa for example.

Vulpin,
thank you for sharing your story. But have you met Nessa in person? I had that passionate relationship over emails and phone, but when we met, no chemistry... it seemed we had our own version of how we would like the other party to be... and when we did meet, we were with a different person than whom we had in mind. there you go, another challenge: expectation.
Bambi,
is he really like what he tried to present himself? or what we thought he is grin pencitraan jeng, cape deeeeeeh laugh
Not exactly sih mbak , he's so simple and humble ... but time difference is the most annoying problem for me moping
Bambi,
I wish you and him enough hug (enough patience, enough love, enough time to get to know each other, enough whatever it takes to make this work) teddybear
Im hoping the best to u too mbakkuhug
Mbak Saras, good to see you're back here hug

Keeping up the communication is very challenging especially if his time changed due to daylight saving time blues

Thank you to modern technology that communicating through internet (email, chat, video chat), phone calls, or sending texts made it easier to keep the communication going on. Well, yes, sometimes there was difficulty in keeping up the communication like bad signal or flat battery and so on; patience and trust helped grin

Never give up, mbak, you won't know what awaits you in the future so keep trying bouquet

Lachi,
now you're talking! Ask him to bring phone charger anywhere he goes, or keep one in his bag in case he forgets wink how's he? I hope there's good news today. And good luck with the visa thing hug no, I won't give up, just a break, after all being single is not that bad wink hug
Thank you mbak for your advise, I sometime forgot to bring my charger too blushing I told him about the movie we've seen. He was wondering if there was romance scene in it laugh However, the shocking scene still play vividly on my mind help

He's gradually getting better day by day which made me (and him) relief smile Thanks for your support hug

Enjoy your status now wink Keep on "fighting" to reach and to hold your love teddybear
i think the challenge relies on saying things as it is without embellishments. Be as honest and upfront as possible. Be realistic. No false hopes, no looking too far ahead into the future but taking it one day at a time.

Lachi,
hey maybe you could write about the movie here? the bit and pieces about mixed race marriage and relocating afterward, I saw you giggling many times watching it. maybe imagining yourself in that movie? wink it would be a good reference for those into long distance relationship.
Yes, if you manage to keep it real, and not be taken away by too much emotion, your expectations will be more realistic and there's a lesser chance you'll land on disappointments should you make it to the initial meet. Just relax and let things flow. Forced things never worked out well. wink
Saras..

for me the most challenging beside all is our feelings...
you must be able to beat your feelings
and its not easy

I hope you have courage to begin LDR
your big love heart1 heart wings will overpower
than any LDR problem

Welcome to LDR and Good Luck

Aku senang loh hari ini
bisa baca tulisan Saras lagibouquet
giggle

I was giggling because I was thinking of my friends' experience with their mixed-marriage and I was thinking that he would ask the title of the movie. There were indeed some funny scenes in the documentary movie laugh and the shocking one wow couldn't get off my mind crying

He indeed asked the title and when I was telling him, I was afraid he might think I was rushing things uh oh Who wants to be rushed? Not me either blues

I don't remember the name of the actress, so I prefer you, mbak Saras, to write a blog about it if you want to. I leave it to the expert as you had many experiences in film and showbiz industry wink bouquet
Mbak Ching,
I couldn’t agree more. At the end of the dat our own feelings is the biggest weakness and strength we have.
Aku juga senang, teman-teman membaca dan memberi komentar. Terima kasih ya atas dukungannya.

Cyn,
Yep, what both party want in a relationship is important, if they don’t want the same thing, better forget it.
Lachi,
lebih pas kamu ah, kan kamu akan menjalani. Jadi apa yang kamu rasakan dan apa yang kamu tonton, bagaimana perbandingannya. Bagaimana perasaan kamu sebelum dan sesudah menonton ini. Kan ini blog di dating site, bukan pecinta film wink
@ Sarasvathy : Firstly in your earlier Long Distance relationship, you will feel very generous and that everything will be ok. In some period, there is a time when you really hope he is here with you and you can touch him and let him hugs you, not only see on computer and internet. That will be more worst when both of you have different time zone, when he says 'good morning" to you and you say "good evening" to him. You both should have a very deep love to stand strong in this LDR. Trust and love are what you need to pass through all these barriers. The next things you needs are maybe destiny and luck.
