Long distance relationships?

Hell the girl I love lives across the ocean, you can't help who you fall in love with.

Also, I agree with this following post of AC's:

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.

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 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.

****ing idiot.

Not all long distance relationships start off as such.

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

you are right. 😱 I am and so are some others. w00t

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.

What about if someone goes off to school away from where you live?

And what, are you saying we should only communicate with people that live around us? Then what are you doing on the internet?

Wow, I just realised it's been just short of two years since the first time we met...

You know, I just came to the conclusion that all of you mean Long distance relationships as in phone or stuff like that. I was thinking more into the Internet dating crap. 🙄

My mistake people.

This is true. I'm proof enough that long distance relationships can fail too.

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.

Wow...you are stupid. 😐

Internet relationships are just as real as any other long distance relationship because *gasp* you can call them on the phone as well.

How is the phone better than the internet?

A lot of the reason they fail is because people get lonely and start one based on "It's good for now, I won't have to take it seriously.".

How does that apply to what I said? I said nobody here has a successful one, not that nobody WILL. The last I checked, you still lived in Chicago.

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.
