Ever had a long distance relationship?

Ermm..that's not really very far away..you can still stay together..at least you can meet at weekends and stuff..

Long distance is generally like someone living in a different country... e.g Cross Atlantic.

Come back and say that once you've had a relationship with somone on the other side of the globe.

I had a long distance relationship with a woman in New Zealand, the exact other side of the world. Hell, if she lived any farther away she'd be closer.

Jump on your bike and visit him after school if you don't have any homework.

Edit: I typed visTIT!

45 minutes is definitely NOT far.

I take bus rides to school everyday that last an hour and a half, for god's sake!

I could walk to a place thats 3 hours away without breaking a sweat!

yes I have. My ex lived 40 mins away if the traffic wasn't too bad. I would spend the weekends at her place. Things were good, but eventually they turned sour. I think in a relationship you need to be able to see and touch each other. Imagining and pretending gets old pretty fast. All I can say is give it a try and see how commited you guys stay. If things are cool than good for ya, but if things arent what you expected then you know what to do. Its important to be realistic and be upfront about what you want from the relationship.

listen to sil.....she speaks truly

45 minutes isn't far. How far classes as long distance partly depends if you can drive or not, and other factors. But if you can get there in 45 minutes, that isn't exactly far.

well...our realtioship ended...a month ago.lol

It sucks when you live far away from the person you like...

I know..but i went away for 2 weeks and than he just lost feelins for me..he just asked my bff out..

Geez that sucks...

Daniel and I are 20 minutes away, that's as far as distance will get between us..my parents are planted here in this house until the day they die and Im not going anywhere till I graduate and get a job and shit so im here to stay for a while as well. And the only reason Daniel would move is if his parents got divorced (long stories..) and all that. So yeah...we're stuck together forever...pretty soon we'll be livin together when I graduate next year. w00t w00t.
editont get mad at me for saying this, but I think ld relationships arent worth it because A. There's no physical contact, but I know you said you may get to see each other on the weekends..If you're me..that isnt enough. We see each other at school everyday and that isnt even enough..let alone 1-2 days on the weekend. Plus B. Where the hell is the sex and playing around, man? Lol...and C. Where's he gonna be when you get lonely or have a bad day and you need someone to hold you and tell you everything's alright?

Okay, I have a solution for you.

Take a 2 inch think, 4 inch wide, and 4 feet long (also known as a 2x4)

Now, have somebody wake your head with it.

If the two people are truly willing to dedicate themselves to making it work over however long it takes, any relationship can work. Regardless of distance.

Proof? You see people meeting each other over the net and getting married for life. The only time long distance relationships fail is if one half meets someone else, gives up or you both decide it's not working. Much like a short distance relationship.

The only obstacle is trust. If you can trust your partner to be faithful (again, as with any relationship), it can work.

Physical contact or lack thereof, sucks. No getting around that or lying about it, it sucks. Sometimes having it here and there when you DO meet, makes it worse. But it also makes you feel f*cking determined. I know, I've been there.

45 minutes to me is a ride to Blockbuster video. No offence, but your relationship is paper if it takes that much of a distance to make things hard.

-AC

i had a relation ship from here in texas to tennessee....and another in california, but the one in cali died in like 3 weeks...one in tennessee was lost like 2 months ago which lasted a year and 2 months cry bi*ch cheated on me at the last month...her friend was keeping an eye out to c if she was gonna ever do it...then the f*ckin last month....

yeah, from my experience long distance relationships don't work. at least for me. My girlfriend went on vacation for a month and came back and broke up with me. turns out she had a boyfriend over there and didn't want to hide it anymore. you said he was your first real boyfriend so that would explain why you think you "Love him so much". its always like that the first time. I thought i loved my first girlfriend but look what happened to me.....

Wow, I remember back in those days when he and I were together.

Well, I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm kind of in a L-D relationship, myself right now. His name is Dale and we have millions of things in common, including the fact that we're romantic. We've planned a lot of stuff together and he will be coming down here before the year is over, though it pretty much just began so that leaves a while for him to get down here. I have never seen him before in person but I have talked to him over the phone and he has the sweetest voice ever. To be quite honest he's the only thing holding me together right now because all of the guys down here seem to be pricks and seem to get a kick out of hurting girls and Dale admits that he wants to go on a killing spree on these guys that have hurt me. We're still in the process of planning his visit and it is very very frustrating. Someday I plan on moving down there, though I'm not very high on the thought of leaving home, and spending my life with him. We've planned a lot of that already . He has a fantastic job and seems to have the same kind of friends and interests/hobbies/aspirations as I do, so we are pretty good to go! I can't wait for him to meet all of my friends and hopefully my family won't be annoying over it either.

good luck with that

It must be so hard! I once had a long distance relationship, but it never worked out because we never even saw each other at least once in a while. Probably because he lived in Gloucestershire which is kinda far away.
So unless i meet the person i dont do them anymore LOL!

I don't do long distance either. they take too much work.

Well he's insistant (I can't think of the actual word to use) that we are going to work out and I believe him but it's pretty stressful for me to have to wait such a long time to see him. I'll be going down to Alabama which borders Florida, where he lives, and if he didn't live in the southern part of Florida I'd ask him to come visit me while I'm on vacation but alas, I can't.....so close yet so far and that pisses me off!

I'm afraid that makes no sense to me. Why would any relationship need "work"?

The ones I've experienced throughout my 19 years on this earth have all occured naturally where the parties involved have "flowed" together. In each and every case, the others and myself have just been . We either can't help but end up in a relationship of a sort or we don't have any.

Relationships cannot be forced or made to be. The only scenario where I'd imagine such a thing would exist is where the existing relationship that the people involved share is not of the nature they prefer or desire. Boy meets girl. They want sex. Don't feel comfortable with the stark and crude nature of that relationship, so obliviously, force themselves to engage in a "relationship" where the obligatory "i love yous" are exchanged. Shuch an...arrangement would need work of course.

Why would they need work?

Because people are flawed creatures and no one is the same, and by nature will not always agree. If you want a relationship to last, then yes, there will be effort and work involved. You need to learn to compromise. You need to learn to trust the other person, to be honest with them. You need to learn that it's not going to be some happy fairy-tale romance and there will be problems and you need to learn to work through the problems, so that they don't wreck your relationship. And so on.

There is far more to a relationship to simply love. And no offense, but you seem to have a very rose-coloured glasses view on love and relationships. Unfortunately, most relationships are not "fall in love and everything is happily ever after". Just because ones you've witnessed appeared to flow with no work or effort from either party does not mean that said effort was not there.

If that works out for you, then more power to you, but I have to ask one thing.

You have only talked to this guy, never actually met him and want to spend the rest of your life with him? Not saying that you couldn't do that if you wanted to, but I'd put more thought into it and wait till you meet him if I were you.

The bottom line is, nobody ever knows what another person is thinking. You will almost never know if your loved one is lying to you, or has lied to you, you just have to trust that they aren't and hope they're being honest.

Long distance relationships are harder because...well, if you have to ask why, you're silly. That said, I think they can work just as much as any relationship if the internet or whatever is only used as a catalyst.

I hate it when people meet someone they find alluring online and assume a relationship would work. They don't actually think what it would take to make moves to be together and make it work in the real world, or waiting to see if it even works after meeting, or even before. It gives internet born relationships a bad name, but that's all the should be, internet born.

If you can't realistically see it happening in real life, like...really happening, then don't bother. Thinking "This can happen, and here is why.", with legitimate plans, is fine. Thinking "This can happen..." followed by "Because we want it!" is null and void.

Twice...my dad lives across the ocean (it's like a 2 hours ferry ride so its not too bad) but I met this guy who was my neighbor there and after a year of being friends went out for like a month before he dumped me....and it worked while we were together for the most part and he dumped because of other reason not the long distance and after that ended I went out with that guys best friend...and that last like 3 months before we broke it off cuz he figured out he was gay....
so they work if you make it work but you have to really try!

My god... you have to be the most retarded person on KMC.


If people ARE in love they can make it work. It doesn't matter how far away they are. What matters is that they both feel the same burning passion for one another. Sure it WOULD be better if they lived close to each other, but some just can't for whatever reason. If they are the one meant for you, how is it stupid, pointless, and pathetic to try and make it work?

I hate it when people meet someone they find alluring online and assume a relationship would work. They don't actually think what it would take to make moves to be together and make it work in the real world, or waiting to see if it even works after meeting, or even before. It gives internet born relationships a bad name, but that's all the should be, internet born.

If you can't realistically see it happening in real life, like...really happening, then don't bother. Thinking "This can happen, and here is why.", with legitimate plans, is fine. Thinking "This can happen..." followed by "Because we want it!" is null and void.

If they are the one meant for you, how is it stupid, pointless, and pathetic to try and make it work?

This I also agree with

I live in Illinois, am in love with someone in the UK. That's pretty long-distance. And hey, we've met more than once, we're making it work out in our own way. Personally, I'm in it for the long run and will do all that is possibly within my power to MAKE it work. Because you know what, that's what love is. And it's hard, and it requires a lot of sacrifice, but it's ****ing worth it.

And I also agree with AC's post.

Not all long distance relationships start off as such. "In a world where there is no such thing as Long distant communications. It is just those who are there."

Just imagine that. I obviously do myself. And I can name a bunch of reasons why.

And what the **** are you talking about!? Im not talking about war and going away or anything like that. You obviously need to see what I mean before jumping at me like that.

If a person is sent away to war, overseas, the relationship they are in automatically becomes a long distance relationship you moron. She was saying that even regular relationships become long distance all the time, are you saying those are pointless?

You need to learn to comprehend what people are saying before jumping at her like that. durfist

For the record, saying you're in love with someone far away isn't proof that long distance relationships work.

One that's successful in the end is proof that they work, which none of yours are yet.

Well, I'd say that meeting more than once, and working out long-term plans, and at the same time acknowledging the fact that while it'd be great that it works out, life may not agree, is certainly a large step to making it successful in the long run.

Which I would agree with, and which is why I'd never actually say I was dating someone, or girlfriend-boyfriend with someone when I'm in a relationship that's primarily online and we're not actually together except for the rare times when we meet. I mean, yeah, we're together, we're in love, we're in a relationship...but we're not actually dating or physically together, for the most part.

Which I think is a huge problem with people and long-distance relationships that are primarily online. They expect commitment in a situation that pretty much makes it impossible, and thus dooms the relationship from the start.

And I never said it was successful yet, but certainly on a path to be so someday, and that I'm taking the steps needed to help it happen.

Though on the other hand, it might not ever happen. Who knows? I don't. I know what I'd like to happen and I'll do all I can to make it happen, but I can't control the future.

Internet is worse. You not only know the persons true self, but you hardly know how he looks like. Sure, now days technology allowed us to post pics using something called a DIGITAL camera.

Internet Dating is a joke to me really. Yes, there are some people, SOME PEOPLE, who actually have a successful relationship from on-line. But most have failed due to many reasons.

1.) He/She lies to you and comes up with the hurtful truth

2.) You get abducted. (Typical)

3.) The so called "meet" never happens as he/she is off dating other people probably and actually was dating on-line for fun or he is just lonely.

4.) "He's ugly! Shut up!"

Yes, I have been there before when I was a younger foolish child. But I have learned from my mistakes and try to learn even more to see clearly the values of life and it is very clear to me that it is enough for me to see the world we live in, Ect. Anyways, internet dating is nothing but BULLSHIT.

Okay, for starters, the stories of people pretending to not be themselves online are grossly exaggerated. I'd say maybe one of a few thousand people online are not who they say they are. And if they are lying about themselves, it's very, very easy to tell if they are or not. It's hard keeping up a false story all the time. Eventually they'll slip and **** something up.

1) Okay, so...no one can lie in real life or over the phone? Yeah, that happens too.

2) Almost never happens in reality. The only reason you hear about it a lot is because of the sensational media, but as with people pretending to not be who they really are...it's in reality very rare.

3) Yeah, that happens, and that is why I will never say that I am dating someone that I am involved with largely over the internet, because really, you're NOT dating.

4) Also happens in real life/offline.

And you really don't seem to be able to differentiate between long-distance relationships and internet ones. There are many, many people out there (several in this very thread, myself included) who are with someone, have met them, but due to the distances involved cannot be together very often. But they also do not want to let the relationship die, and thus their primary form of communication is online. What about that?

Because people are flawed creatures and no one is the same, and by nature will not always agree. If you want a relationship to last, then yes, there will be effort and work involved. You need to learn to compromise. You need to learn to trust the other person, to be honest with them. You need to learn that it's not going to be some happy fairy-tale romance and there will be problems and you need to learn to work through the problems, so that they don't wreck your relationship. And so on.

There is far more to a relationship to simply love. And no offense, but you seem to have a very rose-coloured glasses view on love and relationships. Unfortunately, most relationships are not "fall in love and everything is happily ever after". Just because ones you've witnessed appeared to flow with no work or effort from either party does not mean that said effort was not there.

Its either a misconception or a bastardization of the term to say that successful relationships need "work". Saying that insinuates a negative connotation. As if you have to strive to make yourself and the other engage in the relationship in question. Relationships cannot be helped like i said before. You either have any sort if a relationship with someone or you don't.

All the things you mentioned above, compromise, trust and honesty, are not the acts of "work" to maintain a relationship but components that comprise the relationship itself . In other words, these acts are the relationship if you will. Doing those things is having a "relationship".


You must have misunderstood me or I may not have been articulate enough.*shrugs* I appreciate ,treasure and am big advocate of love. But I also don't hesitate at all to critique the idea of it as it is treated in mainstream today.Which I suppose ends up making me a skeptic, someone hesitant to completely dive into the big fall herself.

I hate it when people say they treasure love, or are advocates of. Love doesn't exist without people to use it, there isn't loads of true love floating around somewhere waiting to be used. Love can only exist with people who are in love, or someone that's in love. Not on its own.

Yes, by the way, it does take effort to keep a relationship going. You are implying that effort means striving and struggling, it doesn't always. It means making effort to keep each other happy.

How on earth does it insinuate a negative connotation? Not all work is tiresome, boring, etc.

And yes, trust, honesty, and compromise are components of a relationship. But they do not create themselves, nor do they stay by themselves. They only exist through the efforts of those in the relationship. And that's why so many relationships don't last. People fall in love. They think that that will carry it, that it will be easy. But it won't, because they'll have never put in the effort to establish the other important things that are needed.

And THAT is why relationships require work to make them last.

Thats what connotations do, strike personal feelings but regardless. "work" is generally used to describe something that requires force and effort. both not very pleasant things to participate in especially when used to things coming to you naturally.

Yes.I'm gonna have to state quite the contrary. They do create themselves. I don't trust every second person I know. I do not have to make an effort to trust someone. It either is there or it isn;t. And I shouldn't have to either. Because that would generally mean I'm off on the wrong track with this "relationship" with that someone. Its intuition, gut feeling et al, call it whatever you will, but if I'm at a point where I don't willingly trsut someone, and feel obliged to...something tells me this isn't going to get anywhere. Its not quantum physics. just common sense.

Kid, I've been online since you were in kindergarten, probably younger. Myspace has how many millions of people? Yeah, there's going to be people on there who are not who they say they are. But it's not nearly as common as people say it is. Everyone makes a huge deal out of stuff like that and completely blows it out of proportion.

No one believed your little 'gangster' thing and you are seriously deluded if you think anyone did. There is a large difference between lying about yourself, and doing so in a consistent, believable way. Most people never get that down, though. And there are people who fall for it and will meet someone off the internet and find out they were lied to. Honestly, though? They're just as stupid, as chances are they went through no efforts to find out who this person really was. It's not at all hard to do. And living a lie is hard to do and people WILL slip up.

I never said they lie about people being kidnapped. I said it's sensationalist media. They take things like that and blow it up to be some huge deal, making people believe it's a far larger problem than it actually is. Yes, it happens. But does it happen as often as the media will lead you to believe? No, not at all.

I've never had any problems meeting people in person that I've met online. I've done so many times. it's called being smart about it. It's called not meeting the person until you've known them a long while, until you've spoken to them on the phone, you don't meet them unless there are other people with you, and that people know where you are. But some people DON'T bother doing any of this, though, and that's how problems occur. But it's not as common as the media makes it out to be.

Thats what connotations do, strike personal feelings but regardless. "work" is generally used to describe something that requires force and effort. both not very pleasant things to participate in especially when used to things coming to you naturally.

I don't know how many or how few relationships you've been in, but they do require effort. Even if it doesn't feel like effort, you're making an effort by even being in the relationship, otherwise you'd just be nothing.
