I have enjoyed my long distance relationship for a year...They are not always easy, often lonely, and offer special challenges...BUT...The upside is we spend a lot of time talking (communicating) so we are learning a lot about each other, we never let a day go by without contact, and we are becoming very creative in how we express our love...Neither of us thought we would end up in a long distance relationship, but here we are and we will do whatever is necessary to make it work until we are able to be together....

To answer you question, "Is love limited by distance?'...No, not for me...

Seriously? You dont know?

Ok so what is disgusting about FWB? And since when do you have to disrespect a woman to agree to be in an FWB relationship with them. Yes women are human beings and have the same urges and desires as a man, so why can't we express our desires? Having an FWB is not disgusting or dirty. The two consenting adults are fulfilling a natural biological urge without fear of reperucssions or disease which is better than trying to pick someone up from a bar to satisfy your urges when you have no idea where the other person has been or who with. Last point, when did you turn into a woman and have the ability to know exactly how they feel?

Love shouldn't be hinder by distance...if that is your excuse then you are never in love with her.... As they say love will make the impossible, possible..in these case both are possible to happen.

We’ve been hanging around the boards for months, reading and posting, deciding who we like, and accepting there’s some we just have nothing in common with. And of course, we’ve already put everybody in various categories such as, he’s handsome, she’s pretty, they’re intelligent, they’re sweet, they’re ornery, they’re quiet, they’re loud…

We’ve even allowed ourselves to admit there are sexy people too, you know the ones, that every time we see their profile picture next to their post, even if it’s not of their face, or we see their names as a post starter and we click on them just to see what they have to say, to see how they will stir up our excitement in that way only they can.

It’s a magnetism we just can’t help, because it comes from a deep primal attraction and an urge to just say “the heck with all our obvious differences” I’ve just got to taste that, even if it’s only by way of a feeling we get in that moment, like an adrenaline rush. And how much more intense does this infatuated feeling become when the subject of our fascination actually notices us?

Do we take this opportunity to put our cards on the table right then, fearing it may be quit some time before they come around to speak to us again?

Or do we play it cool, keeping our cards close to our vests, and wait to see if they come around again, which of course could indicate they have some interest in us, right?

Let me get this right. Are you asking the guys or the ladies?

I never give up. That's the problem...

Although it feels like I will never find the right one, and I'm pretty much convinced it doesn't exist for me, I still keep hoping. I wish I COULD give up, because that's when everyone says it happens...

How many people have more or less given up hope/thoughts of someone being with them because of whatever reasons?

I know navygirl has.
And I have.

How about you, are you on here still looking, or are you here for companionship/interaction only.

Krupa and soufie and leigh and manoffewwwords obviously don't have to answer. Oh yeah, neither does captain and eileena. If there are more couples, just let us know!

I've done it twice. I was shot down both times. I'd probably never do it again. I don't think my fragile ego could take it.

I don't think there is a right or wrong with the answer to this question.it depends on both the man and lady,the lady should be sure that the man likes her alot and must also have put a lot of effort into attracting the guy before she thinks of approaching,in order to avoid humiliation of herself.I haven't done it but once i made a move on a guy into getting a date with him,but before that,i made sure evrytime i walk by him that i catch his attention and heavy eye to eye contact needed to tell a guy you like him,a smile is to vague..so i got 5 dates with him when i wanted just 1.lol..didn't work out,he had goodlooks only but dumb.

Approach me for a "serious relationship?" That seems a little creepy, don't you think?

How about if she approaches me for a date first? I'm cool with that. It's happened to me fairly often. But, women are lousy at starting a conversation with a stranger. They'd get better at it if they did it more often.

I would be surprised, but if there was some attraction there I would accept the invitation, and see how things developed on dating.

I understand your point... well taken... but some people like to take dating slow... and maybe even keep a connection on the friends level instead of wanting to take it any further, so I think the level of feelings we have at different stages of a relationship is important to know too... even tho we don't have to act on them...

Oh great, this obviously means that any woman that smiles at me fancies me and wants me to ask them out.

I would never ask out a guy . I think a woman should smile and let guy know she's open to him approaching her .

Certainly is, but I believe it is a rare occurence, despite what the ladies say, you will need to make the first move in my opinion.
