A friend told me that I needed to look closer to home for someone to date. What do you do when the area you live is small and you have not met anyone you like? Is anyone willing to have a long distance relationship?

Ah heck, just move to Tennessee and shack up with me. This way you'll be close and we can start with the relationship easier.

you go brian

A long distance relationship, from my experience, can be very soothing to a lonley heart, but you have to be realistic. I think you should keep your options open, and be honest about it.
If you don't see a possibility of actually ever being together, then keep it to good friends in my opinion. Just having someone you trust to talk to is a very good thing.

I'm from Indiana and he's from Wisconsin but not for long...hopefully by tomorrow(thursday) he'll be from Indiana too

hey...i'm blunt and right to it. hehe, but i'm harmless too and mean no offense so just follow your heart hun.

congrats kator...git-r-done!

i know what you mean by living in a small town.kinda hard to date when you know everyone and the ones you don't know are way too young!.

So does that mean no one thinks long distance relationship can work... I am not talking long term as in years just long enough to decide whether you want to be together... this is the 20th century... we have cars, planes and trains. It is not like I am talking sight unseen type marriage arrangement.

Glad to see some people are willing to take a chance.

i think they can work as long as they 2 truly having feeling for each other and want to be together

Me too J!

i agree with the fact that LDR's work
but sometimes (just sometimes) distance is the killer

distance is a huge factor but if you truly love each other you can overcome it...i know s2h and myself have

Long Distance Relationships(LDR's) can work if both partners are willing to put forth the effort into making it work. If someone lived half way around the world and you two met, let say this forum, and you through communicating you realized there is a connection, the only one stopping you from happiness is...You.

Myself personally I would go for it, but he would have to meet my list of huge expectations and many can't....LOL

Katertots so happy for ya!! This is one of those General Foods International Coffee Moments commercials

well said yokoke

I have an LDR currently. Nebraska to Illinois.... about 10 or 15 hours driving... (and I don't drive)... just remember:

LOVE WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY.

I've dated tons of LDR guys. It's got pros/cons just like local., just different ones.
