partly-cloudy said:My only "relationship" was with a guy I met on a anime forum years ago. He was the most wonderful person ever. Sometimes I wonder if he was my soulmate, but I had to end it for some reasons. Nothing due to him. We never actually met and were in the process of planning our meet up. We had our online, over the phone long distance relationship for quite a while. For people like me and him it worked very well. We got to know one another and if we had met up it would have been wonderful. Or so I think, which causes alot of regret on my part. But that's a whole other story.
Now people who have already met and then have to go to a long distance relationship, I can see how that would be so much harder. It all depends on the people and circumstances really, I think.

However, I think if you're in the right situation (young, few ties, able to travel easily etc) they're doable. However, ultimately one of you has to be willing to move if the relationship is to go long term. They shouldn't be entered into blindly and that should be on people's minds from the start.
kamya said:They are ok as long as both people decide to take it seriously and put a lot of effort into good daily communication and meeting up as often as possible. You have to share your life with them just as much as you would normally. LDRs can be made interesting with a little creativity.
The reason most of these fail is because of insecurities that lead to trust issues. Before you even try, make sure you can handle being able to trust someone when you have only their word to go on.
I don't mind LDRs but it still sucks when you want to be with the person and they aren't there
cool_breeze said:Well that's great Jales. Nice success story. Why are you still on here then? Just for fun and to help others?
I suppose I'm in sort of a failed one. Met a girl when I was traveling, kept in touch after it for almost a year, don't really hear from her anymore. It makes me pretty sad. I'm not one of these stoic people who just moves from situation to situation in life without anything affecting me. More the opposite. The fleeting nature of life and the good times that fade away makes me sad. Maybe I'm a dreamer but I don't see why something like this should end

NEVER *******-EVER AGAIN.
you can quote me on that
AFrozenSoul said:Long distance relationships are a lie. Basically you are saying that you do not love someone enough to change your life for them,
AFrozenSoul said:and that you are not confident in your ability to meet someone else.
AFrozenSoul said:Well that or you are saying that your mate will be fine as some kind of emotional tool while you mate with others on the side.
Either way it is a lie. If any long distance relationship goes on for more than two or three months then the relationship should be ended.
AFrozenSoul said:The physical distance will put emotional distance between you.
To clarify, there are no exceptions to this rule. NONE!!!!
