Long Distance relationships (91)
If my Love lived on the moon I would steal a shuttle or build one of my own. There is nothing but ourselves that stand in the way of Love. If you will not put forth the effort then it isn't Love.
Love knows no bounds and is the best reason for living.

buzzy: I'll add; Don't ever say you are not going to get involved in a LTR. I'm coming out of a bad marriage and I swore I was not going to get involved with anyone for a long time, if ever. I completely put it out of my mind, until I clicked on her profile. I had the strongest urge to jump into her picture. I fought it. But, I keep being drawn to her profile and I loved what I was hearing from her in her posts. Then one day we had a funny exchange, and she stole my heart. So, don't give up searching, and never, never say never. Cupid has an odd sense of humor, and a very good aim. I truly love you Dru.
I truly love you, too, Ruzzy.
I will add one more thing. I also found myself drawn to him, and I was fighting it for the reasons I mentioned earlier. If you find there's a strong attraction for someone, no matter what the distance, don't fight it. It's most likely meant to be.
well if one doesn't want long distance , one should not come ere , one shoul go to a local bar , or the married man next door ..or..what not

Actually, I was looking locally at profiles for dating, and was just in Forums for friendship. One can come here even if they're not seeking distance.
As so many have stated.... Never say Never

I did it and im so happy now, we were talking about one year, then two visits to meet me, we matched perfect and now we live together so happy.....go for it!!!!
loverboy690: Are all those long distance relationships worth the wait?I have to say mabey depends on the situation.
I´m just going thru it and its pretty tough. But i´m so much in love, i would do everthing to keep it going. If its for the right reason, you can make it.
Sure, I would try it again.

But you both have to believe it's possible.
It really depends on the other person. Thank god my job can be mobile.

I am in one. It IS much harder. You do have to be committed and the trust factor has to be there even more than in a traditional in person relationship. The wait to meet will for some be hard others accepted with the situation.
Communication has to be constant otherwise it won't work.
It is not for the faint hearted nor the ones that have trust issues, nor for those whom are not willing to work even harder than in a traditional inperson relationship.
With email, IM, IP-Relay, it is possible. Remember in the last Century, the LDR's were done by letter writing and the people that went on to meet often had good long marriages.
So, for me, it is worth it.

No body wants long distance. Every has said long distance sucks. But peole are looking for their SOULMATE. They may not be in a local bar. Your soulmate is not your neighbors spouse. If it is then you have a problem. Anyone can come here if they wish. Your soulmate may be in Florida, USA. But you just shut yourself off from them.

The time apart is but a brief period in your life. When it is meant to happen it will. You still have a little piece of your journey to him left. Best wishes!
"Long distance" for me, is Sun (Sin) City to central Phoenix...

Thanks a lot, buzzy! Even if i believe we can make it, its nice to get some hope and backup from outside.
Love has no boundries for sure and there is so much thrill and fun when you have not seem that special someone for a while, it makes the meeting more exciting. Keeping it real though, after a while someone will have to relocate.
Well, for some it works, for some it doesn't work. All depends on the individuals involved. I could do the long distance relationship.
Thanks guys for the info.

You made a believer out of me!

She's Somewhere sweetowen: But you both have to believe it's possible.
Ah, and we do...and we already know how we're resolving the distance part of it, and that it won't be long.
Distance isn't forever, as a wise man recently told me.

Yes, and those who have made it work have figured that part of it out early as well. Whoever is most able to do so relocates.

I have to say, at this point, that I am not for a long distance relationship.
Why? My occupation limits the amount of time I can get away. And I can't afford to traval far (airfares, hotal rooms, etc). If I am not willing to traval far, I do not expect the other person to traval a long distance here. I do not consider a 3 hour drive a long distance. But a 2 hour drive, than a flight somewhere, than more driving, now that is long distance.
To me, for a relationship to develope, the people involved, have to spend alot of time together.

They can be really hard. I have been in 3 of them. I think it really depends on the couple involved. It takes a lot of understanding, patience and communication to make it work.
