On a more serious note, distance away is a factor in a relationship. Although the internet allows us to easily communicate with one another,too much of a distance does make it hard to develop a strong relationship.
Distance can be a real challenge for many people. Although, if two people feel a real connection and there's nothing holding them back from pursuing a relationship, it can be done and it has happened.
kennn: On a more serious note, distance away is a factor in a relationship. Although the internet allows us to easily communicate with one another,too much of a distance does make it hard to develop a strong relationship.
I totally agree. I have friends long-distance and that is fine.
I did have a partner that went to Antarctica for 18 months x 2 but we were in a relationship years before he went. I also wrote every weekend and we booked satellite calls every 2 weeks.
That being said, I would like to meet some-one IN PERSON and get to know each other slowly...dating weekends etc. Then slowly meet each other's family and friends. I think traveling to meet puts too much pressure to move fast and 'make it work'. It is also a 'honeymoon phase' every time you meet and this is not 'real life'.
If it works...some-one will have to relocate. If there are children involved I feel it is unfair to uproot them from family/friends/schools and if there are elderly parents, that is unfair as well.
It is a LOT easier to date within an hour's drive. The same suburb is also too close for my liking as you are likely to run into each other if it does not work out.
Yes...I have thought about all of this. I would consider somewhere in my country or the UK as I have family and friends there...so less stress.
All the best to those considering/in a long distance reltionship!

I have had a relationship long distance, we talked every day and met for holidays together when money allowed in a country halfway between where we both lived. It was not ideal but very rewarding.
As you say Antarctica ideal for me.- Starting getting tired of hopt climates.

JeanKimberley: Distinction!...... Dating is easier when the person is within traveling distance and close proximity. Finding a date - distance shouldn't matter. Scotland here I come ... well next vacation.
I agree.. Oh well, not the last statement though, as I prefer somewhere else ..

It's a mere 2,549.51 miles to the awesome 2intrigued, only 39 hours and 20 minutes of driving to get to heaven. I wish. I would never get that lucky in a million years.
