You could find the love of your life. It can be frustrating, not being able to be physically with them. But when you do it can be incredible. Good things come to those who wait!
lushguy4you: Long Distance DOESNT work at all and thats JMO. I have tried 3 and they didnt work. so not for me anymore.
Three previous relationships failed. Blaming the failure solely on being long distance is setting yourself up for guaranteed failure in the future. While long distance is not easy be it through financial and committal restrains I'm sure it works for some. Today’s technology makes communicating long distance so much easier and after all that's what it's all about in a relationship. Communicating. And if the constrains are to much for a 'traditional' relationship (whatever the f*ck that is) you'll be left with a great friendship, priceless. Maybe it's time to reconsider what a relationship is and what one gets out of it. 'The worst distance between two people is misunderstanding' Living next door to each other would make no difference.

Damn Mauss, you really don't remind me of anyone previous.
Ccincy: I know I read where you stated you were in 3.I entered into one and we've been living together for almost 7 yrs and still going strong.So see they do work.
Definitely not. If it is almost impossible to form any kind of a meaningful friendship let alone a relationship with local women on here who all seem to be neurotic space cadets with anger issues in my experience, what chance has one got with someone long distance ? lol
Prapiroon: Definitely not. If it is almost impossible to form any kind of a meaningful friendship let alone a relationship with local women on here who all seem to be neurotic space cadets with anger issues in my experience, what chance has one got with someone long distance ? lol

So now we're all neurotic space cadets.
Such a sweet talker you are.that will just sweep them off their feet.
I notice how everyone keeps focusing on the bad sides to a LDR. I'm in one right now and i can tell you a few things. First of all, yes i do miss my girl at my side. Their are many things we can't do or share together.
But let me focus on what we do get. I've been in this relation for about a year now. I've been to her country last july for 3 weeks and i'll be going back for another 2 weeks end of january. Before that first meeting we've spend about 6 months online. Chatting every day and included cam chatting on weekends. We have talked so much about all sorts of things, a lot more then i would ever have done with a local girl. In local relation i and many others get distracted, so busy doing things together, so busy running from friends to family to hobbies.. their is always something that needs to be done. This takes away so much from the communication. Me and my girl have made time for eachother to talk every single day. The foundation that we created is much stronger because of this. When i actually saw her in person, she was the same person as the one i've chatted to for so long. The time we've spend together was needed to give more dimension to our relation. You can't keep a relation if its only online. Both need to be willing to be together, that needs to be the goal to reach. Me and my girl have the desire to get married, as soon as possible.. however legal it would be a lot easier to get all paperworks and such in order if we wait another year. So that is what we are planning to do. In meanwhile we keep chatting every day, and above all we trust eachother. Commitment, loyalty and trust are much needed, as well as patience and understanding. But if both are really commited you can make it work.

I agree with this. Communication is the key. To believe that there is only one way to have a relationship is limiting your opportunities.
Currently a long distance relationship is working for me. With time, clearly changes will need to be made and we will adapt if we both envisage a future together, if not...well, I enjoyed the time we had.

rickyb187: LONG DISTIENCE ???
IMO, distance is not the issue... Either of local or long distance, both only need 2 optimist people with old fashioned values and strong mentality...
I definitely cannot understand why there are modern and old fashioned... I personally think that it is just our nature to love and to be loved...to serve and to deserve...etc etc...
NOTE : The bitter pessimists will never give a go, even it is just 1 km distance...

... both of you have common values and common goals....
