hillbillyhoney: theres no mess we just like to get in the mud and sling it.But its always interesting to hear what one has to say.If you think you can screw up one by getting close do you stay within arms distance?Then long distance has no bearing on the way you thought it thru.

No, probably not.
I think this is all quite relative. if one has a big heart to see beyond little things and if (too many iffs) there is someone else that is fated to cross his/her ways with that one then miracles can happen.
As for the rest ....it all sucks

It is just not ones with big hearts that miracles camn happen.Lets see remember the Grinch how his heart grew.I believe people can be surprised by their feelings.Be so taken away by them they couldn't say a word if they wanted to.In other words the power of love.cool

Once I mentioned that power to someone so battered by his own marriage and grievances, and he jsut looked at me as if saying "what the hell are you talking about?"
Well, I did not go into further eplanations but in fact my meaning was about the omniscient nature of that thing called love in everything that is alive. Maybe, in the end , that is the reason why you can be right in your last statement.

Think a long distance relationship is possible if both people are on the same page of being committed to one another.

Would I do it - possibly and have done it in the past .... but I've also learned from my past experiences. When people are not in regular contact - its easy to put on a "mask" - and truly until you live with someone you really don't know them regardless of the distance or lack thereof.

If you think its going to fail - then I wouldn't even go there ................... but if you're truthful, and honest with yourself and the other person - then anything is possible. Attitude is everything and distance is merely the measurement between two points.

hillbillyhoney: I think it all depends on if you want it to work then distance shouldn't factor in.You give it all u got and you can climb any mountain.




very true....... I found that you cant make up for your partiners lack of desire to make things work. it takes two. distance is no factor, it is how muck you love the other and how determined both of you are to make things work. in relationships there is no 1/2 way it is eather all or nothing.

Living together is what I have been saying since I was 18 years old and that is true, you need to live with that person.

Thats so awesome to hear and congrats. I do think that long distance relations can work for a little while but there has to be that meeting, the conframation of reality. As so many have said already it takes 2 to want it and work with your long distances and make some changes, both people need to bend and compromise about it all~ communication daily is very important when your not there in the physical sense at first. best to you and your new sweetheart, hope it works out for you both~

I was in one. I was in San Diego and she was in Georgia. We made plans to be here together and it just did not work. But, I would do it again because I learned a few things. A plane ticket does wonders and the world has gotten to be a smaller place. To make something like that work, both people must have an open mind and be willing to compromise and change. Those are tough things to do.

dcj22: I agree with Pete that the world has gotten smaller. I think it's okay to begin a relationship long distance. At some point, if things work out, that distance has to close. The guy I like right now is 4000 miles away. You take the time away to really get to know someone. To learn about the person, instead of relying on the physical aspect of the relationship. Then when you get to the point of being able to actually be together, you've gotten through the getting to know you phase. So, yes, I do believe it can work as long as the distance gets closed before it's too late.

I do not believe a long distance relationship is right for me. It may work for others, but for me it is not the right thing. Varies with the people involved, imo.thumbs up

keytone: in this scenario it does not look viable, however I do believe that two people can meet from any ywo places on this world, and if they both have the same goal, are honest and have integrity, they both can come together if they so wish. But be careful what one wishes, there are people that really will go the distance,,,,as Harry said "not for the faint of heart", hope that quote was correct Harry.

I agree....you have to know what you want....communicate honestly and be in it for the long haul...or no it won't work.....wave hug teddybear hug
