Long-Distance relationships

[ShatteredWings]

What is your personal opinion of them.. do you think it's possiable for it to work?

[Sage]

They can and do work, just not when both people are young and have no means of meeting eachother. I have nothing against them, but I think it's a foolish idea unless you're an adult.

And I may as well add I'm speaking from my own experiences with two ladies over the internets.

well, seeing as i am in one currently, ill post.

I am in a long-distance relationship with a lovely, lovely lady right now. We have been going out for 1 year and 3 months so far. I love her a lot and it works out fine for us. However, I have had friends that have attempted long distance relationships and failed miserably. I think it takes a couple that has a lot of trust and love in and for each other. So in conclusion, I think they are possible

I think that they involve immense commitment for each person, as each has to be faithful to someone whom they cannot see often in person. Usually, I'd say it's best for adults, although it'd be more accurate to say it's best for people who both are very mature and commited to each other. It takes faith to know that your partner however many miles away from you, whom you cannot see in person often, is staying faithful to you.

I think that they are very possible to work out successfully but both parties must be committed, faithful and trust word and word alone without seeing each other in person.

I believe it depends on the maturity and commitment of the couple.

I know a couple that live in completely different cities (in the UK), and have been together since August 2007, although my friend met her online, but it only works because of his commitment and patience, although they've had a few arguments over the fact she can't be on much.

You also get many couples where one of them (usually the husband) is in the military, so they're away for long periods at a time, and many of them couples tend to work.

However, it does require quite a lot of trust for a long-distance/online, because it's VERY easy for one of them to cheat and yet the other not know anything about it at all, which I've also heard happen once.

I personally would never have a long distance relationship, because of how unpredictable it can be, and to be honest I'd probably get bored of it quite quickly.

you're 13, you're not truely in love

you're 13, you're not truely in love

I concur. Whether it's bound to work out or not is a seperate matter. Anyone at any age can feel a strong attachment to one another.

you're 13, you're not truely in love

I'll debate this. Is it not love to have a strong emotional connection of fondness to someone. So if I, at 13, can not love someone, a new born baby can not love either? We may not stay together, but many adult relationships don't stay together either.
