What is the ideal way to date long distance ( Archived) (60)

Well for starters you need:
^ Meeting point, e.g. CS or other meeting place
^ a good computer with sound and a video card
^ smartphone or other good quality phone
^ internet connection or $$$ for long distance costs
^ Skype or other good quality connection software
^ time zone balancing
^ lots of patience and yearning
^ pictures to look at
^ Ability to travel, eventually (jailbirds excludedd )

Hope this helps.

The best way to date long distance is for one of you to travel to the other, meet in person (in public) and make sure you have a plan b, and an exit strategy if things don't work out while you are there.

I married my long distance date.

There is no ideal way, there is just one way, and that is that one of you has to be prepared to travel, and if things work out, ultimately move.

Cheers.

When it comes to dating, what is fair really doesn't matter. When it is love, one of you (or both of you) will get to the point where you have to meet and you make it happen.

With me, I paid to travel, she paid to apply for her immigration visa.

It depends on both of you, what you value, what you both think is fair. Seriously, no relationship is 50/50, not all the time. Relationships are give and take and in differing proportions.

If you start with a 50/50 perception, that is what you'll get and half relationship. Sooner or later one learns that people sometimes need to give and sometimes need to take. And these two things don't happen to the same proportion always.

Gender differences are universal and transcend race, distance, ethnicity. Men are men and behave like men (generally speaking) and women are women and behave like women (generally speaking). Each is wired differently and the same things that frustrate you about local men, will probably frustrate you in a LDR or when you get together.

My wife is Chinese, but strip away her different culture, language, and she is a typical woman. Amazing.

We have our moments because I am a man and she is a woman. That is what makes it wonderful and amazing. People are people whereever one goes in the world.
