DUBLINGUY1973: I agree. I think distance is only a problem if you let it be one and i know its a cliche but absence definitely DOES make the heart grow fonder...JMO.
Finething: Yeah and when you meet its just whooopie doooo!
or the opposite i remember the lady in miami we had been talking a long time she used to get freaked out cause i always knew when somthing was wrong or bothering her just from way she phrased sentences on computer screen or how slow or fast she was typing used to drive her nuts trying to figure out how i did it yet when we met there was no chemistry or magic same as when i met lady in iowa though expectations were to a lesser extent reason i stoped doing long term by email and chat
all the roads in kerry aren't that bad excuse!!haha
7sins: It's the governments fault with crap roads as someone said, I'd be lucky to meet someone from 3 mile down the road with the pot holes in KERRY!!!
kidatheart: Some of the comments o this thread are rather inspiring.
I think a wee bit of space between a couple is a good thing unless you are a very needy person...and within reason of course...I wouldnt fancy flying to the States or Oz just for a hug lol...anyway a bit of space keeps things fresh imo.
tallaght_guy: well i have been online a very long time back in early 90s was not as much choice for dating sites as now went to usa to meet 1 lady had another from usa meet me here and met have travelled to netherlands estonia leeds london for meets on another site
Oh my goodness.....and you finally met your lovely lady right on your doorstep!.....
Speaking from experience having had two LDR's it can work as long as the travelling is shared equally between the two people if possible to avoid resentment.....and as long as both peoples expectations are realistic....ie that they are happy to carry on with their own daily lives seperatly to a certain degree but still interested and somewhat involved in them too.
It can be a real tester to the relationship though too .... being apart from someone for an extended period of time....however like most things too it can be fun and exciting planning to see each other and looking forward to it and suff and stuff.
As long as the thrill of seeing each other isnt the only thing keeping the spark alive and there is more to it than that, then its certainly possible JMO
I just started writing to a guy from another site who lives in England and I'm finding this thread so encouraging. We've really hit it off through e-mail and now I think I may contemplate meeting him in person. I'd initially ruled that out, as I've always thought long distance doesn't usually work out. But what I've read here has been so inspiring.
Too far away to be travelling just to meet somebody, wouldnt it be so much easier all round if the person lived a 10 minute a drive away, anything over a half an hour would be too much for me especially on our roads

Long Distance Relationships are very hard because you have to have trust. Its easy for one party to go full force while the other doesnt. You have to make sure that you are both on the same page on what you want. If you aren't it will never work.
