omda, I believe that LDR can work if the twon involved are serious about one another. LDR take more effort and patience and even love than other relationships though. Personally, I know some couples who met online and corresponded online for months before meeting in person, and now they are happily married. The thing is you need to make sure it is not a scammer or a psycho you are involved with. Good luck.

I have been to an LDR before. I knew the guy personally before I went off to work abroad. Our relationship lasted for more than 6 years. And I am sure it was not the distance that had cause us to break.

A purely online relationship is just a substitute for the real thing.

LDRs, on the other hand, can work for some people, sometimes. It depends on the distance and on the couple's personal situations.

I don't think it looks promising for young couples of an age to start a family, for instance, without one or the other moving.

And if the distance is so great that neither can afford to travel that far more than once a year, they won't be getting much face time.

I'm in one now. We don't get as much time together as we'd like, and it's not as regular as we'd like either. Yet we both feel lucky to have each other.

It is different in your situation Anis cause you did not start it on distance , you already knew Him in person before you went to work abroad , Wishing you good luck.

Dagosto: A purely online relationship is just a substitute for the real thing.

For some people it is the real thing.

If an online relationship enriches two people's lives, then why should they be judged as not doing it properly? There are more than enough people who have face to face relationships which are far from enriching for them.

Not everyone was born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Not everyone may have exactly what they want, when they want it.

There are no guarantees in any relationship.

By "purely online," Jac, I meant folk who never meet, make no plans to, and never will. I think clearly that's a substitute for the real thing, and different from an LDR.

I read correctly then and my response still stands.

Being in a LDR really gives you a chance to KNOW someone, if you get involved locally the "physical" tends to dominate.. Long distance you don't have that, so you have to talk and I think you get to know eachother more, your dreams and desires :) JMO

There are more different kinds of relationships than there are people.
If by definition for a 'real' relationship to exist physical contact is a crucial ingredient, hmm, OK then.
Some of my friends are of huge importance to me, with a deep meaningful relationships.
And still, any physical contact with them would freak me out.
And still, I would say I have a real relationship with them.
We stare ourself to death on 'the one', the one we would like to wake up with lying next to us,
the one that made you sweat, the one you like to hold and be held by.
Priceless, physical contact is priceless and has no substitute.
It is a great ingredient, a fantastic dessert with a cherry on top. But it does not create a full meal.
I'm a simple man and like simple food. I prefer a daily meal with or without dessert.
And it would be no less fulfilling and for sure not unreal.

It does work for THE BRAVE ONES thumbs up

but I myself prefer 7 kms away than texting...I don't need to worry whether I am in relationship with HE or SHE because I can recognize it directly in shorter distance...rolling on the floor laughing

my advice : prepare your passport and any kind of terrible documents...
best of luck !!!handshake

Ahh well Im in that stage of getting the whole papperwork together to move together...ughhhh--- Just starting though but we both think it totally worths it.


LDR might work for some, and might not work for some others...I guess its all about the couple that really wants to make it work.

Trust , honesty and spending as much time 'together' as possible make things way better ....



Lots of effort , money , time and everything but hell it worths it.

Patience its not one of my features... at all... I have had to learn to get some . Or Lots.

Online relationship is not relationship - sorry all who think yes...how I can be in relationship with someone I haven´t spent days and nights together and haven´t experienced average routinal life with?

LDR these days is anywhere - reason - we need to follow companies, agencies and offices we work for... and companies love moving from place to place according advantages offered by local politicians in different areas and countries grin I have already had to relocate three times .... do you think I feel like having new partner always I have to pack my suitcase? grin

I think online relationships are just a bridge to an offline relationship whether long distance or local. And hopefully the long distance relation is for a short time until the couple can figure out how to be together full time.
