Long Distance Relationships

[No Contest]

Depends on how hot she is. Hehe good luck. Your about what, 600-650 miles away, you could visit on weekends....but that would be a nice days drive....

I um have a friend yeh who drives 1160 miles round trip within a 24-48 hr span to um see a gal he is fucking nuts for.

Distance, time, money etc etc...even a girls 'guilt' because this friend acts as if its as easy as running right across the street and this friend drives allll that way sometimes not knowing if things will happen in such a short timespan (like her son being rushed in for emergency surgery) and they end up sitting in hospital for 14 hrs .....doesn't matter. Have you ever had Hospital coffee...its fucking awesome. So I've been told.

Can I ask you respectively bud...how old are you? Do it my man.....or wish you had for say 25 yrs. Just sayin

My girlfriend is moving to Wisconsin and Im in DC. We are both in love with each other so Im hoping this works out. Anyone ever done long distance? Or advice? Im stressing out over here.

You call this long distance?

Me in Miami, Florida, USA - Her in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Im 18 and ive been around alot for my age but I have that feeling like this girl could be "the one" And her family is in the military so they move around. Oh and we've been together almost 2 years.

I have a lot of difficulties with the concept of "knowing she's the one", we are evolving so fast in an era of stress and where it is very easy to gather informations/temptation from elsewhere (the time where people used to live in the middle of nowhere with 10 hours to do to join the city is revolved) that things change fast. We can never know, ultimately, is she/he is the "one".
My best advice would be: If you really love her, make the compromises necessary in order to make it work, enjoy every moments you can in her company but keep in mind that such relationships are tough and often don't hold in the long run, which means: yeah, do everything you can to make it last, it's possible, difficult but possible. However, don't sacrifice all the rest for a relationship "partially built on a question mark".

You're 18 right? More than likely it's just High school puppy love. When you get into college, you'll meet new people and experience new things, and more importantly you'll grow and mature and have different outlooks on life. At 18, you're not fully matured physically and mentally yet to make decisions that she is the one.

She'll probably go through the same things.

IF you both want it to work it can - if you're both committed to each other - you need to schedule proper time for each other otherwise as soon as one of you starts to feel lonely and someone else starts showing you attention.......

Awwww....Missy, you still hold out hope for us. That's sweet

[Hornfinger]

Im going to school out here. But that gives me hope that this could work. Her parents said I could stay with them a few days at a time. I suppose thats a start

Yeah you are lucky mate. just dont lump off them when you visit, do the washing up occasionally, shout them all fish and chips one night, that sort of thing, show them you appreciate them allowing you to be there and things will get even better.

Thanks man. I appreciate the advice. Lol the rest of you guys are a mess. Does anyone believe in love anymore? smh

I believed in love when I was 18, young, nieve and a bit stupid.

You grow up, realise a few things about women, most importantly that there are loads of them (and lot's of potential 'the one's) and there is nothing special about any one indivdule woman.

Unfortunately if you go along with this long distance garb, you're riding for a fall.

I believe in love, but you're going to hurt yourself if you are not just a slight bit grounded in reality. With the internet, Skype, etc it's easier to stay in contact with one another than it ever has been...but that physical contact, being able to cook dinner for her (or vice versa), or just being there in person is a need that people have and it usually catches up with a relationship.

I say, if you both really want it you can find a way to make it happen. Just know that the odds are against it.

There's a reason most romantics are classified as "hopeless"...its a cruel world for their grandiose ideas

Thats as sound as it gets Lyle.

Also keep in mind bud that as much as you ask the question, so does she. As harsh as it is don't 'protect' each other if having doubts, it crushes those involved much worse in long run. The physical is key, have to have something-time to look forward too. Catch 22...you don't want it to become a second job and work...as opposed to what it should be and needs to be in the first place, easy going, day to day...doin life.

put it this way. I like the romantic idea of love, it's just that every man who's said it to me has ended up behaving like an utter cunt. So in reality that word doesn't hold much sway.

Now Missy don't try to act all tough, I see right through you and I can bet that once you finally meet a proper gentleman and get treated as you should be your guard against the word "love" having meaning for you will melt.

People get hurt in real life and as horrible as it feels #1 The Sun will still rise tomorrow and #2 as bad as being rejected feels once you've found someone that loves you back it trumps any other feeling.

I got accused of wanting perfection in a man - by the same chump who once used the L word and later cheated on his then girlfriend with me. I mean. Really? You have to be fucking kidding me? Men have such short term memories for the shit they do. Women on the otherhand have memories like Big Blue.

Missy I've been hurt just as bad...I understand that its no fun, but you can close your heart off.

Men (and women) are turned off by that kind of baggage...its too much work to fight through a guard like you pretend to have Missy. What that one guy did to you was selfish and wrong, but don't punish the next person that shows interest in you...it doesn't make sense to do that.
