    Hello peeps ^^

    Well, my boyfriend n me have been together for 2-3 months [ flirting, expressing emotions on the net for 3-4 months exlcuded ] but we've known each other for 5 years [ we were close mates..then love struck both of us..la la la la..the usual stuff u know >.< ] Now that we're going to be in different countries, i am wondering if our relationship will last...We've decided to try it coz we're both deeply in love with each other...Somehow, i feel it will be a hard experience...

    If any of u guys have gone through long-distance relationships, please do share ur views n hey gimme some tips n suggestions to make it work [ well even for some time...doesn't matter if it's gonna last foreva..coz at least, i'd be happy inside ma soul that i've tried..hehe :D ]

    Waiting for ur reps :redface:
    xoxo

    I think this is the 3rd time someone posted a long-distance relationship...

    It'll definally work, since I'm currently in a long-distance relationship... We been going out for almost 2 years and I have known her for 9 years before I went out with her... As long as you 2 keep in touch everyday, even if you got nothing to say, you'll be fine...

    Hiya
    I do believe in long distance relationship and I’m sure it will work if you both love each other very much, it’s going to be hard to maintain a strong relationship, you guys may want to try to meet up every 6months or at least once a year...and in the mean time talk on skype

    But anyway good luck, wish u guys the best

    Someone somewhere has posted this topic before. I remember there was one person who strongly believe in LDR; so much that every responses from her were difficult to read .. freaking long .. lol

    Personally, it's a NO for me. It had never worked out for me but of course, everyone's different. Who know, it may pan out for you.

    It really depends on the individuals involved. For a few, it will work out....for most others, it won't.

    On one hand, being so far away from each other will allow you guys to appreciate one another more when you do get to see each other. On the other hand, a lack of physical intimacy may take a huge toll on your relationship. There's also the issue of trust, and "out of sight, out of mind."

    I would say long distance relationship usually doesn't work..... but if you two are commited to each other then maybe it will work

    Don't waste your time on long distance relationships. Sooner or later your gonna get cheated cause during long distance relationships, you don't get to do anything fun together. All ya do is chat and type over the internet or talk on the phone. That's SO EXCITING RIGHT? Just kidding, but seriously don't do long distance relationships cause they get very boring after a while.

    If you both feel the same way, you fit eachother and you already said your know eachother for 5yrs and are good mates...What makes you think it wont work?! If you both go for it 100% it will work.

    My experience : i have a bf, he lives 3hrs away from me...not very long distance but compair with my frends it is. I only see him in weekends or when he take extra day off to be with me or on vacations/holidays. Anyways we both feel the same way, we both want future with eachother and its worth to travel 3hrs to see eachother. Becuz of this relationship the band is more strong and it can test both. We already 2years together and to compare with my EX bf he lived 7min away from me...this relationship is better/stronger/happier with more respect and appriciation!

    Good Luck! And trust eachother 100% and go for it 100% = worth

    it is really hard because there are alot of obstacles and things that you cannot do. With your partner being so far apart theres alot of room to lose interest. there are desires and needs

    It'll work if you two are really really into each other. If it's just some whim of a relationship, it'll crash and burn. You guys gotta love more than just this silly puppy dog love.

    Devotion and determination to keep it alive - they'll pull you far.

    In general though, I think unless that girl/guy's the one you could marry, then I'm gonna say it doesn't work.

    i'm in a long distance relationship at the moment and i find it really hard especially were both on the other side of the world, but hope it will work, but my comment would be don't try it if u don't really love each other.
