long distance relationships

[OreoPL]

do you think they can work? have any of you ever had one?
my friend that i was trying to get wiith, we both liked each other alot, left for air force basic 5 weeks ago. i am going to surprise visit her at grad. but after that she ahs school and then after that who knows. do you think things can work in these kinds of situations?

relationships are bullshit to begin with. dont even bother.

and i wouldnt even kid yourself by even thinking you have a chance keeping this girl, who is in the military surrounded by men, and hundreds of fucking miles away from you. dont waste your time/energy/emotions on her.

I am sort of trying to hook up with this chick, but not have a commitment, that lives about 30-40 mins from me. we both are busy during the week, me@work, her @school, and because of that, I don't think or want it to go any further than just casual sex. anyway, to me, THAT is a long distance relationship, and I don't think it would work. IM's, phone calls just ain't the same as being with that person face to face, naw mean?

my girl lived 3 hours away from me,and it worked out ok.The drive was bullshit,and I saw her only once a week at most.Now she's moving 5 or more hours away,I'm afraid this might be the end of that.

Bro, let me tell you, I know a thing or two about long distance. Me and my girl have been seperated for 5 years now and we still manage to keep somewhat of a relationship. She lives in massachusetts and i moved to florida. We were together for 2 years then i went to college down south. It is the toughest thing you can ever imagine. We both know we love eachother but we both also see other people. Its a tough pill to sallow. I've seen her twice since labor day and shes coming down to visit valentines weekend. What i'm saying is, if you two want it to work, COMMUNICATION is whats gonna keep it alive. As soon as you start getting jealous of were she is all the time, you gonna going fucking crazy. Don't do it to yourself. If you have questions, pm me.

Distance is nothing. If the two of you LOVE each other...there is no reason why things can't work out....no reason.

Both of you have to WANT it and LOVE each other though...

been through two.
my ex and i had been together 6 months already and spent some time apart. then i moved back to Mi and she was in NC. for about 3 or 4 months, that was the closest i'd ever been to clinical depression. i loved her so much it was so unbearable to be that far from her. seeing her once a month, maybe. but we stuck it out and she moved back to MI. she was still two hours away but that was a cake walk compared to 16.

i am in the second one right now. i'm in IL she's in MI. we see each other once a week, talk several times a day and we're happy. we're both at the age where we know what we want and that this is worth trying. its still not easy and it can cause tension at times ( i tend to feel a bit insecure at times), but we manage cuz we know its worth it and we know it won't be long before we're together.

just make sure you both feel the same before you enter something like this. be heads up, if you can't handle it, get out before you get hurt. if you're young, don't attach too much at first, have fun, make it a long distance booty call if nothing else.

My best friend and his wife did the whole long distance thing throughout their entire relationship. They'll be married 2 years in March. It'll work if you put the effort into it. It's not easy and not something everyone can do. Good luck if you try.
