i do NOT believe in long distance relationship and it is just beyond my comprehension how people can feel in love with somebody who they have never met in real or saw only once in six months

I think to each his own. The power of love is strong and as long as both are willing to try, it could work. Its not for everyone though. Both people have to have strength to keep it alive. If you are a needy person, the long distance relationship won't work. Me, personally I can handle it due to my background with the military.
It can be done! There are a few really nice success stories on here! That being said, it is really really tough and it does take an enormous amount of trust and hard work....but from what I understand, the rewards are well worth it!!

I have met several ladies that we have hit it off verry well over the internet but once we met in person there was no attraction, I would not count out a ldr but I would be quite reserved and skeptical,
So far the farthest I have gone is sela, you know where that is dont you lookin, For those who dont it is a bout a 3 hour drive for me.
AFriendlyone: I think writing letters (e-mails) can build a trust but there are times when you finally meet the person, and he/she hurts your feelings or nags you or tries to boss you, you realize the relationship is not going to be a good one. Still, I am willing to travel great distances to meet people and I enjoy visiting new places. I do hope to meet my match, best friend and mate but until then, I will still try to go to many new places wherever I can.
travling to meet people to make friends and see different places is great but holding a relationship together long distance is hard and it will take more than what you have to deal with if they were in same state or city and that firt date can be costly

Do you mean Selah? That is just a hop, skip and a jump from my place...probably about 10 minutes! Sorry it didn't work out! Bummer!

Well I have met the guy three weeks ago so I know we have attraction. We have had two more dates together and feel a stronger attraction. I am fortunate that he does come into town once a week even if only for 12 hours, but it does give me a chance to get to know him. He lives about 1057 kilometers from me. Will just take it day by day or should I say week by week and see where it goes.
can b done however it would take an enormous amount of time, patience, understanding n dedication from both parties, personally i'v neva tried it uhm... now dat i think about it actually sounds fun, i may give it a go...lol 
I think it depends on the people concerned. I had a relationship with someone across the ocean We lived together before she moved back home and wanted a commitment to arrange for a marriage. I agreed but as time went by being alone, she met another guy in her community. Couldn't blame her, some folks have problems being alone for any length of time.

With my experience " long distance " is the biggest enemy of relationship. I myself and lots of people I know were ruined by long distance. By the nature of human particular the human whose mind is not strong enough. Whenever the couple is saparated. There will be the GAP between them. And the relationship is on high risk. If somebody jumped in that gap. That will be the end of relationship. I didn't say it would happen with everyone. But it would with the one whose mind is not strong enough.

sory I missed the H in selahhhhh, there I made up for it
I make it over to yakama a few times a year, sometimes just to go for a nice drive, others as I pass threw to my uncles place in Or. If I lived there I think Id spend most of my time up on Mt Adams though,

I think it can be successful for some couples - it just all depends on the people involved. Some can cope better than others and it not be a problem.
My experience is that the "reality" of day to day living with a person that you have spent hours and hours either talking with or emailing with, can still be different in person. No matter how well you think you know someone, how many times you've spent visiting back and forth, they can still surprise you and the long distance factor makes it easier for them to hide traits or characteristics that in the long run will hinder the relationship.
Watch and listen, ask many questions and dig deep to get a good understanding of that person. Trust your instincts as well and have the attitude that it can be successful.
The reality is that there are many people we can potentially find to be a good partner - someone who lives closer would be a more logical choice, but sometimes true love or a stronger connection is found with someone farther away. Don't let distance be a determining factor - as the world today is truly a smaller place because of the technologies that we enjoy.

That applies just as well to deciding to live together with someone you have been seeing that only lives a few miles away..
Distance is distance; whether its 1000 miles or 10 miles. You still dont know what they look like first thing in the morning, or how often they leave the toilet seat up until you live with them!!!

LDR's suck...it's too difficult. I'm all for short distance relationships---it's more convenient (especially in needy times
), cheaper, and you don't have to make so many damn phone/skype appointments to talk.Again, LDR's take suck to new levels of the ultimate suck.

I've tried it twice on here, and both fell apart before we met in person. It takes a lot of trust, communication, and commitment from both parties to make a LDR work. I give those who succeed at it much respect, because it's not easy. And eventually someone has to be able to uproot to move to the other one.
I won't say I'd never consider it again, but the man would have to be very special, and we'd have to develop it from friendship over time. I won't jump into one of those again, and if it happens I won't make it public until after we meet this time.
Seasons blessings to all! May we all find what we seek in the upcoming months.

If they stay over a few times, I get the information on the toilet seat and what they look like in the morning pretty quickly.
It's the other things about living with them that don't always show at first...like are they too lazy to pick up after themselves? People tend to be on their best behavior in the early stages of a relationship. And sometimes, you just don't know until after you marry someone. Had that happen in my third marriage...amazing the changes that little piece of paper made in his personality.

Very true, Dru..(Im a poet, and I didnt know it!!
)I still think that in the long run, there is no real difference between deciding to move in with someone after a period of dating who only lives a short distance away (as you say, everyone is on their best behaviour when you are first dating), than with someone from a LDR. Not really. Especially with the wonders of webcam these days..
People can hide their faults and bad bed hair if they wish, even if they only stay over for weekends..
As has been said on here many, many times - you can live with someone for years and years and still not really know them. In my opinion, the distance between you to start with does not really alter that fact.
