Author	Thread: Long distance relationships
liv2luvudeeply View Profile History	Long distance relationships Posted : 29 Dec, 2009 06:59 PM I get lots of contacts from ladies in other states. I've just come out of a short relationship with a wonderful woman that I met here. She lived 100 miles away. She loved her church and was very involved, and I think ultimately, the distance was one of the reasons it didn't work out. So let me hear from you ladies...whether you are open to relocating or not, are you open to a long distance relationship? And how do you see the logistics of that playing out? How far would you go to date someone? Any LD success stories you can share? Anthony Post Reply
View Profile History	Long distance relationships Posted : 29 Dec, 2009 07:07 PM I dont think they work out. I mean, how do you see each other? Or get to know someone, you can't...just seeing them once a month or so. although I know someone who kept up a long distance relationship for 2 years then got married. It works for some, obviously but I dont know if I can hang. I guess it all depends on the circumstances. Jennifer Post Reply

liv2luvudeeply View Profile History	Long distance relationships Posted : 29 Dec, 2009 07:54 PM Okay but therein lies the next challenge. Because you live so far away, and you don't get to see each other very often, you spend weekends together. Then you have to worry about staying celibate and not letting it get physical while you're staying the night under the same roof. It's a slippery slope... :) Post Reply
View Profile History	Long distance relationships Posted : 29 Dec, 2009 07:59 PM I have tried this more than once. Met a few guys who said they would have no hesitation about moving. But it never happened. The distance was just too great. We brought our relationship up to a point, and then it needed face time, and that didn't happen. I think it IS possible for a long distance relationship to grow and blossom into a marriage. But it takes a LOT of work, much time, and money (because of travel). That's my two cents for 'ya.

It would be a new experience for me. I do agree that timing right now is not really that open with me. Post Reply

You would be right on this being a choice that would come up that you would have to make. Post Reply
View Profile History	Long distance relationships Posted : 30 Dec, 2009 09:06 AM Its been my personal expierance that long distance is the hardest relationship to have. I believe every person needs more contact than just a phone call, IM, email, pony express mail or weekends only. Speakin for my self here as a women I need more than that. Some Gents like it just fine this way. I also believe that if its really meant to be than it will work out just fine...Its all bout willingness, sacrifice and love...xo Post Reply
View Profile History	Long distance relationships Posted : 30 Dec, 2009 05:10 PM Pay no attention to the fact that I am a man, because I want to say something here. I have overcomed some amazing obstacles in my life -- many of them physical. I know for a fact that I would have not been able to do what I did if I looked at where I had to go. My focus was always just two or three steps ahead...every now and then peeking at the horizon to make sure I was on course. If I had concentrated on that...farway...horizon...and ...how.........far........away..........it.....w....a....s, I would have called it quits and would be in Heaven now (dart!....why didn't I think of this then!). Distance is of no concern to me. I have nothing that I own that is more important to me than the woman I Love (or could Love). If it means saving for weeks to be able to make that trip....so be it! And if after I make that trip we find out that we are not attracted to each other (which I can not Fathom anybody not being attract-ta-med to me...sNiCKeR....sniCKeR), then I would have at least made the effort. But, I know that not everyone is in my postion and able to just pick up and move -- so I can also understand that point of view. Peace Post Reply
