From time to time, we hear people lamenting the distance between themselves and others here,

but I can't help thinking that distance itself facilitates many of interactions

that are found so appealing.





Your thoughts?

It helps as people are aware of the distance and try to overcome it through several means

I personally, prefer someone who lives less than 2 hours from me. It's just so much easier to see each other a little more often and just about every weekend or so.

I prefer them to live less than 100-110 miles from me. Even shorter is better.

The shorter the distance, the better off to a great start.

And overcoming distance might be one of them wine

Yes, me too. I had 2 long distance relationships in the past and both didn't last but 2 weeks long. And I was back on the bus, back to Arizona (that last one was a 2 day ride!! Yuck!!!).

I'm never doing that again...No Way!!!

I think the communication aspect is better....depending on the people of course and their willingness to communicate openly and honestly...you spend hours on-line doing nothing but talking where many of those conversations could take months to happen...if they even happen at all...If anything that's the one positive I see in distance....wave wink hug teddybear hug bouquet

Very true..

How long will it take us in RL to share the personal stories we might share here on-line talking..

It's the internet magic wink the guards we usually put in RL, we take them off here grin

I have to agree. You take the time to really get to know the person. Whereas, when you're so close, you tend to take things for granted & IMO, don't take the time needed to really find things out about the other person.

And who knows... maybe one day, you can find a way to actually meet the person. And if it's meant to be, it'll happen.

Which brings up another question... do you believe in a predetermined destiny? Or do you believe you make your own destiny?

I believe that everything happens for a reason..

But we need to recognize it and act on it..

I can be friends long distance...but a more serious relationship would be difficult to maintain long distance. It's tough to go on dates that way, or just hang out together. And at this point I can't move...so, distance = friendship only for me.

That said, I'll also add that I've always been known to take a gamble and go against everything I ever thought I would if it feels right. I do trust and follow my heart and my gut...so, "never say never"...dunno confused cheers

well, not at first cos i took it all so seriously then but latterly, I find that I can have a good laugh with people from far flung places in all innocence because we dont have the encumbrances of potential bodily contact - its so much more fulfilling to make love with the mind..............
