Hello. It appears that I have found a lot of men who want to connect from long distance.
If men are so visual than this connection does not make sense.
So I thought I would make this poll and see where it goes.

For me a LDR does not exist, a friendship - yes, but not relationship. Come on, you visit someone for a week or two, they do the same and what?! Or, you have dinner infront of the computer every evening looking at each other on Skype and it makes it a relationship?! Thank you but no thanks...doh

Had three long distance relationships...

The first was just a fantasy we didnt meet
The second one was good, lasted a year we met several times
The third has been on going for sometime, we have met, the bond between us grows ever stronger.

If you want to know more let me know I shall mail you.

comfort if you can't imagine it - it cannot come to pass. I am sure it won't work for you, which is perfectly ok.

Well that's the point Jean, it is mostly an imagination not reality. I had a LDR for a short while but I had to relocate after all.

You are so right! and however, there are those that can creatively management relationships.

there has to be an end game plan of getting together in the near future, tho.

LDR is what most military and service personnel have all the time, or families in which one member work is involved in traveling or working in another city, state, country. In establishing a relationship - that is a challenge -

When you just communicate by skype, internet etc and do not get to see the full body language and interaction, it is a very narrow view of the person - and we humans love to hid our character flaws and put our best face forward - so some relationship deal breakers would be hidden.

Once a relationship is established and the partners go about their separate ways for a short time.... well there are a millions stories where it works or it doesn't.

No chance whatsoever.
If you cant see, smell, touch and experience your partner there is no way on earth it is going to work. You need to have real eye contact and see the body language.
How else feel if there's chemstry. THE most important aspect.
Internets fine for the first encounter, after that it needs to be live.

Thats the whole point of internetdating.

Or if you already knew the person from real live and the goal of the relationship is just to stay in touch, internet works fine

IMO, the longer you wait the smaller the chance that it works out. Once you decide you want to stay together, you have to start acting on your plan and relocate. That whole process is lengthy enough as it is, so wasting time with a lot of bla bla is not a good idea. I did it 3 years. Wouldn't do it again, though.

i agree scubadiva.. one should start acting right away to relocate.. the process can take a very long time depending what countries are involved.. so don't waste to much time before making plans.

They are often more sucessful than normal relationships, which break down just as much.
But it does not suit if you have a cheat as a boyfriend.

it is not just the men, women are the same way but as for relocating I do it all the time, since I have no permanent home, I live in a camper until I find the right one. I have been down these roads before. I have not met one who is willing to relocate to me or I to them. But as far as people, I love the European people the best, I enjoyed my time in Germany, Holland and Ireland, they were all nice and kind people.

one of the things that are better in LDR would be that you spend allot more time talking to eachother at first.. so the love will have a much stronger basis then when you meet someone in real because a relation that starts in real often makes people confuse lust with love.

True..

But even that is a gamble
I guess we just need to grab the bucket by the handle!

Wish
Not to be confused with dish
If fairies were here then we would probably make that success list

Wish
We usually land somewhere close to the abyss
Both couples usually make a wish but fate usually insist

Wish
So many times we have tried to hit the target but missed
Perhaps we should just revert to casual-mode and enjoy the frenchkiss!

Now that is something new
LDR being more successful that the instant view

But here is a clue
Let's see if a LDR can brew between me and you!

Haste makes waste
We even go slowly when brushing with colgate toothpaste

Relocating is not something for the faint-in-pocket to initiate
It is mostly for rich boyz and rich gurls who can easily and effortlessly recuperate!
