I guess if love is there already, it's less of an issue, but with someone you just met over the internet, you don't really know them and love takes months and months and months to develop. Also, men tend to bond through shared activities and time together doing things. Being long distance with little hope of much time together makes it hard for a guy to develop a relationship.

I agree with Tulip. If love is already there, then long distance would not be much of an issue. For online dating, though, I think it's important to meet fairly soon if you think there might be interest...and that's very difficult to do if a person lives more than a couple hours' drive away.

Wonders, an that will come up is where the couple will live. If it's a matter of a few hours, that's not as much of a problem as an issue of living across state or even in another country.



Also, not everyone has the money to spend and visit their significant other, if he or she lives far away.



That's probably why so many do not get involved in long distance relationships.

Some people don't want to deal with long distance relationship issues.



As for me, if I were looking for a relationship, distance would not be an issue. It's highly unlikely that the "perfect" one for a person is always going to poof right into the same town as them so that they can meet. I think people should be realistic, and God allowed us to have websites like this to help with that.



But hey, if certain people want to limit their options, they reap from that choice.

I found someone I am interested in, and he is interested in me. He lives an hour and half away from me. That is long distance to him.



My last boyfriend lived two hours away from me, and visited me alot.



I think it just depends on the person, and thier financial situation, and different stuff.

The last guy I dated lived an hour and a half away from me. I don't think either of us considered it "long distance", but it was inconvenient. There were plenty of times when we would have liked to have gotten together mid-week, but had to wait for the weekend because by the time we each got off work, it was just too late to make a 90 minute drive to see each other (actually, it was more like 2+ hours from my office to his office)...and there was no good place to meet half-way! That was the down-side to even that much distance. The up-side was that it kept us from moving too fast, too soon. I don't think the distance contributed to our breaking up, though.

Personal experience speaking. LDRs do not work.



I ended a 4 1/2 year engagement with a woman from Australia, you know with the cute koala bears, and kangaroos. I am in Texas.



We webcam'd everyday for 6-8 hours, I changed my life schedule to be in her time zone.



The physical distance was one of the things that worked against the relationship.



As many sacrifices I made, still we drifted apart. I loved her, but our love didn't span 16k miles for more then 4.5 years.



Honestly, if you cant see each other at least weekly and look each other in the eyes or walk and hold hands, I think your fooling yourself.
