How can we convince our new partner to trust n accept us who we are in a long distance relationship,

Have a realistic plan to meet

I thought that is what the forum is for.
Expressing who we are.

As long as who you are matches with what u have
declared in the public,
then acceptance is no longer a problem
even before you actually meet.
It will only be a problem if, what you are
saying in the forum is not actually true,

because the foundation,
of why your partner accepted you
& gives his/her valuable time for
you in the first place -
is because of what you have claimed, said
and implied in the forum.



Just my take, it can be different with others:

With all due respect,
I do not think it is anyone's responsibility
to convince yourself to trust someone-

Trust comes from within you.
If you cannot trust your gut & heart
and will always be dependent:

on how others see things,
on how others perceive things,
on how others interpret things,


because u are too lazy to do
your own rationalizing & hard thinking,

because u are gullible enough to
accept 2ndhand implied information
that can be right or wrong,

because u are jaded enough to
jump to immediate conclusions,
every time someone insinuated,
& u cannot even 2nd guess the motive.

...then by all means do not waste
both your time & your new partner's.

Love again only,
if u already have the guts & heart
to judge him/ her,
based on your own investigation,
based on you own confirmation,

love is too precious to base it only
on others people judgement, who 's
real motive we could only speculate.

Trust is not something that you can make it happen in a minute, it has to be build slowly !!

BE clear and confident also transparency makes it easy. Commitment is the backbone along with understanding else any relationship be far or close falls apart !

You cannot convince a sane and rational person without first meeting and spending a lot of time together. However, if you both are living on Fantasy Island it is easy.

If I thought I had to convince a girlfriend anything about me I'd end it on the spot. Long distance or not.

Trust is a feeling, it is not forced...you work for it to earn it. What truth you speak, how you behave and how you show your love to someone valuable to you, the heart will recognize it. It will take sometime not overnight, you build the trust together and establish a strong emotional attachment , not giving each other any reason to doubt the intention and feelings and show consistency in everything that you say or do.

wow, it lovely

You have to talk with someone for awhile and both have confidence to meet. It is not trying to convince someone with how you feel.

That's great

Nice one

Great

Nice

You cannot convince people of anything...you can only earn things like trust from them...you earn trust by being honest, open, and following through with the things you say or type.

I have personal guideline #19 to remind me that actions speak louder than words. guideline #20 to remind me that if a person wants to be involved in your life they will make time for you.
