If there is a someone you like whom you met in another country and you basically hit it off and got on well together and eventually you harbour some feelings for this person and you think he/she has the same feelings for you too, but you dont know if you want to pursue it or not, knowing that the downside to this relationship is that you cant see them at all and the lack of physical contact, i.e kisses. hugs, cuddles and all those things you would do. if you do tell them your feelings but they feel it wont work, would this have slightly damaged the friendship you have with them? Examples: 1) you live in England and the person you really like is in Hong Kong and you are often in constant contact via phones, emails, MSN 2) you both live in the same country (can be any country, USA, England, Australia, Holland whatever it may be) and yet there is some/alot of travelling distances between you two and you are in constant contact via phones, emails, MSN and have the odd meetings in real-life. 3) you are in a relationship but your other half have to move abroad to study or work for a year or more. would you pursue this kind of relationship or not, even though you both live in different countries or there are some distances between you two?
well it depends...if u both really want it to work out... then obviously u both gota work for it... me an my bf attend different colleges...and its far from each other...but despite that...we do try to meet up and we chat/text so we're not letting the distance thing affect us..though it can be hard at times... but we're is definitely still going strong... i got a friend...n her bf is over at the US....so thats a LONG distance relationship..but despite that....they've been going out for like 3 years now...so i guess some long distances do work out...but it depends on how much ur willing to put into the relationship with ur partner...
lol, yer i reckon long distance relationships dont last ( often), theres always something wrong with it, it always happens in dramas also
lol, but when its long distance, something always goes wrong, or something, maybeits lack of communication or trust or something,
Hmmm... I don't see why not. The thing is, both parties must want this very much and have the determination to go through it. It's no guarantee that you'll end up in the same college or same job place so there's bound to be some long distance dealing. But this could be a rather fragile relationship because re-confirming the relationship status by dating once in a while helps keep the relationship strong. When there's a will, there's a way.
it really depends... most of the time i would like to have someone that i can see on the daily if i wanted.... if i was already in a relationship and my gf had to travel for business trips i would not mind because it's for business, i highly would not pursue a relationship with a girl from half way around the world and hope it works because it wont and i know it....
i mean even though you like the person i dont think even with all the love in the world will the long distance relationship would ever work
but then after being in a long distance relationship for a while...wouldnt u want to be closer...? so one would move to the same place... but it depends whether ur both willing to make it work...
yeah one would have to move in order for the relationship to flourish. i knew someone from the USA and another from Norway and they were a couple whom met online, but they flew to each others country to see each other, and now the girl from Norway has moved to USA to be with him.
Wow, people here have a really negative view of long distance relationships. My b/f lives and works in Germany and I live and work in Canada. And we've been doing this LDR for over a year now. It's really hard, but I wouldn't trade him or this relationship for the world. If you and your partner believe that the relationship is worth it and that the long distance thing isn't permanent, then I believe that the relationship can work if you want it to.
i guess long distance relationships can work... but its very hard and both parties must be very strong and be really in it a lot of time and effort is needed to keep maintain it... communication must be very good and there must be something to look forward to...like a solid plan or something actually it depends...if u can see eachother once a month...like that kinda long d... its do-able... but if u c each other twice a year or something... its gotta be tough.... so i think if its the same country or even NL-UK or US-Canada should be ok...cuz u can fly up n down to meet.... if not...not being able to see, touch, kiss each other just sucks...+ there are lots of insecurities.... its hard....very hard
i wouldnt choose for this kinda relationship... its just damn to hard and complicated.. i guess i would miss my GF to much if i couldnt see her >.<
well if i had a choice, i wouldn't WANT to. but if i really like the person, then i guess i'd give it a try errr well like everyone else said, you gotta work hard .. but i mean .. how well do you really know this person if you met them in another country? and if you reveal your feelings and it gets awkward, it might be kinda hard to mend it, since it's not like you two can go hang out and just get over it
there is plenty of fish is the sea why make an effort to be with someone who is a thousand miles from you when you can easily find someone near you... LDR is just a waste of time
personally, if you were in a relationship and then have to be in different countries, no reason why it cant go on. you're only separated by time and location, as long as you contact each other by phone, MSN, whatever then its fine as long as you feel you have a strong relationship developed beforehand. as for someone you happen to meet online or someone you met abroad on holiday or something, getting into a relationship will be difficult as you havent that bond yet, not seeing them or having their presence will be terrible.
