Been in a long distance relationship and it does work if both are committed...what I understand from the term "Long Distance Relationship" is that You are already in a committed relationship and now one of you needs to travel to a distant location...so what do you do? Break-up? Find someone else where you are presently living? But then does that not defeat the very definition of a relationship...that at least to me signifies a connection beyond purely physical...

I was in the Navy and sailed about 8 to 10 months a year...so for 15 years, we met only for 2 to 4 months, and often in broken periods...rarely she was able to travel into a port of call when my ship was there and we would have a few days together...but worked like a charm...distance makes the heart grow fonder, as they say!

It usually works for husband and wife. But for those who are still on boyfriend-girlfriend
status, it usually fails. Options are more open when you are not married yet. For a long distance relationship, trust, loyalty and prayers will help to make the relationship strong.
Goodluck...

I guess that attitude it's not going to help you here... I mean you are on a DATING SITE... makes sense to DATE right?

Anyways , not everybody that wants to meet you is a scammer...

Actually Im getting married to someone I met on here in ten days... so ... I guess he wasnt a scammer...


Good luck

You are an inspiration and a beacon of hope to us all. I wish you all the happiness in the world. You deserve it for having the courage, faith and commitment to make it happen. I hope many more will find the same within themselves to make love happen for them. bouquet

norgeborg: My personal opinion that it is possible for some time, but if people don't start to live in the same city, it will collapse.

I so heartedly agree with what you posted.

I moved here to Ohio ,months after I met my guy.He wasn't able to move where I was living cause of his mothers health.


Also if there's no trust in a relationship regardless of where both live it's not a relationship either.

Like any relationship it takes a lot of physical time to know someone. Online wont cut it but certainly worth looking.wave Hi Scott

Emm...I am not supposed to gie you explanations about what I do or what I dont.

Second : Saying that EVERYBODY that wants to meet you is a scammer - as a generalization - is a bad attitude.

Actually i could ask : If everybody sucks here why are u still around ?


Not that I care , just Im saying to explain myself.

Who said,just because she is getting married,she cannot be on a dating site. Surely she likes this site,as she interacts with people in the Forums, Blogs and whatever else has the site to offer her.
