Long Distance Relationship?

I forgot to add my gratitude, thanks, this is informative stuff for me to read. Sorry, baked moment.

I have been in a long distance relationship for 2 and half years, and we are still going strong... as far as im concerned. If its worth it for both of you, then yes it will without a doubt work. Its fucking hard, and it takes a lot... but like I said, if its worth it, then you work around those things. One of the best things about long distance, even though it gets tiring after a while is that, everytime you guys do get to be together, its like a honeymoon.
If you really want to be with this girl, and you think its worth while even though you two are apart, then go for it. If you don't... you might regret it for the rest of your life.

Most long-distance relationships that I've seen fell apart eventually. But, you don't know unless you try, I guess.

I am in a long distance relationship, and while I see many people saying it couldn't possibly work, I beg to differ. Out of the relationships in my life, this has been the most fulfilling. She's everything I want.

I have much more barriers than y'all have. My girl is in another country, and I won't be seeing her again until December. When it all came together, it was 4 days before she had to go back.

I have found there are great things about a long-distance relationship. I really get to know her on a level I don't think I would've known otherwise. There is nothing physical to rely on, it's all mental and emotional stimulation. You have to have chemistry, share interests, and also bring different things to the table. It's a beautiful thing. When I visit her, we'll do all the physical things to make up for lost time! 2 1/2 months this so far has lasted, and it only getting stronger.

It does require much faith and trust. I know she won't cheat, and neither would I. Your own feelings of jealousy, and insecurity is poison, which would wreck the relationship. But I'm not a weak man.

I'm willing to gamble for get her. That's all what it comes down to: if you are willing to take the risk. Your hopes could come crashing down at any moment, but you know what? If you think the person is worth it, do it.

Thanks guys. I'm going back home to grab my car this weekend and she is making plans to come back (which still puts us 20 miles apart but that's nothing) the same time, so I will see what happens there. I'm willing to do it and so is she, it's now a matter of figuring out specifics, which is easier compared to this decision.

Good luck!

in my opinion long distance relationships are pointless because they are really hard and unless you think that your gonna marry this person someday or something... but if not you'll only end up finding someone else you like a few months later. but if your gonna try for it good luck.

[HighWheeling]

CC, that was my thought. But how will I know if I will marry her unless I try. I'm only 18, so the thought of marriage is way ahead here. But how else will I know. I think I'd kick myself if I never tried.

I finally "asked" so to speak. I ended up getting incredibly sick over the weekend (puking and soforth) so I decided to wait till today. So I guess my days of being single are over. I guess the reason why she didn't want to in the summer was because she thought my old location was too far away. She didn't quite realize where I lived I guess, she thought I commuted a long ways to work or something =P. It was 20 minutes from her house haha. I think I can visit every-other-weekend now that I have my car. Luckily I have friends at her college (she's in a strict dorm, no guys allowed period, with a tough RA) so I could crash with them when I visit. Unless she decides to sneak me in

I'm happy. confused at what to do, but happy =)

It CAN work man. Ive been in one for 3 years, and its been a rough motherfucker, but totally worth it. the secret is.........cheat! haha just messin with you, though it probably would make it easier. As long as you maintain good communication and dont care about your buddies giving you shit all the time then you should be good. Make sure you really love her though or you're only wasting her time as well as yours.
