I've done it. And it is very difficult.

I tried the whole LDR thing and I'm here to tell you... it's NOTHING like being around the real person. No matter how much you talk on the phone and email each other, being around each other is a whole different story. Thats when you see their habits, mannerisms, etc etc. I'm not saying it can't work, I'm just saying you need some real life time with a person as well as good communication to make it work

Absolutely! I dabbled with some LDR experiences in 2006, and I would never do it again. If she's more than 6 blocks away, it just ain't gonna work....!

I've been in one for like 5 days. It's been the worst and best of my life. But, I'm at my breaking point. He'll not call for days and I want to kill him, and I get depressed and then out of the blue he'll finally answer his phone or call and it's like I'm a schoolgirl again. I feel stupid.

My advice- don't do it.


there can be bad and good ones
but not only long distance relationships can do that
I had a guy near me
.. at first he was.. great he wouldnt even let me walk too school back in high school...and at end he would not answer at all...... after we broke up...he begged he wanted me back me so dumb i said one more time...and wouldnt talk too me at all.....or lets se another one wel we were friends at first then he said he fallen for me madlly he asked me too be his gf.he never called in a month......dumb me i call him he kept saying ill cal back .news flash then he says u are number 25 or something in numbew rbox so i say its not u ats me bye bye hten he calls becasue hes never been dumpped wel theres always a first time..........

Good advice.

Some men will say 35-40 minutes by car is "long distance".

I met a guy on this site who lived in Wisconsin and I live in Montana. Due to the distance we were just friends. We talked on the phones for hours every day and really got to know each other. In fact, I could honestly say he became my best friend. As of May 12th, that man is my husband. I think the distance and just being friends at first actually turned out to be a great thing because there was no pressure and we really got to know each other for who we are. Case in point, long distance relationships do work.
