mine went great
as the numbers go LDR's dont work
but mine was great
i thought she was the one
we dated online for 6 months
till she ignored me for a month straight
guess its some old asian thing
<shrug>

up untill that point it was great
made plans for the future (something i dont norm do)
chatted at least 5 hours a day and all day sunday

but that month of silence was more then i could handle
nothing worse then being ignored by the one you so want attention from the most (worst feeling i have ever felt)

best wishes on your hunt

Which part of wasting 6 months of your life on a fruitless endeavor is great? Just curious... :smile:

meaning the relationship was going great till the end

was not a waist of time , meet some great people that i still talk to and learned a lot more then i know about a lot of different area's

even some bad's have some good to them
all depends on the way you look at them

Think it depends a lot on how attached you are to your sense of community and maybe being close to family.

I was a military gypsy for years so I have the view most places are pretty much alike and there are certain types everywhere. So if you are adaptable, and happy on your own, can tolerate the chance that your dream can all go down in flames when it gets to the in person day to day stage I would say go for it. If not well better to stay where you are safe and have some back up people.

I've met a lot of great people via the internet as well. I've spent many hours talking with very cool people that I otherwise never would have known.

However, being in a relationship with someone you've never met doesn't compute. You spent 6 months without even getting a kiss, FFS! Sorry, dude... The only possible positive out of a situation like that is a lesson learned.

Out of country.
Playing out great.
Don't think that's typical though.

Yes it is for us... I also think for the ones that it does work for
I think those that do it go into it with their eyes wide open. They have to be real no matter what. They also have to be strong people to understand that voice is what we have for now.

I always tell people to keep it real wait til you see them in person before you commit. I knew before I ever met him that he was the one but I wanted to be sure.

It takes work, time, trust, communication is the key...honesty and reality goes hand in hand.

You have to learn how to talk, fight love everything from a distance
It isn't for the faint hearted.

There also has to be some common goals and understanding.

Eventually someone is going to have to move. Who is that going to be.?
Know up front.
Pancho and I both know it will be me.

One of the worst things someone can do is build a fantasy around a person or put that person on a pedestal. what happens when the person is real and can't fit on the pedestal they were put on..Disaster.



Brilliant advice....

I'd rather piss on a open wire than do an LDR. Think Ghandi said this too. drinker

I experienced this many years ago. It turned out badly, but taught me several valuable lessons. The most important lesson I learned is to live your life grounded in reality and not to bother with the powerful fantasy that online relationships can become.


somehow i must agree to disagree

yes, many people tell me it is "fantasy love"

it isn't to me
it is more real than what is real
coz as i said earlier

a human is his SOUL

For some it works out great.. Have seen it happen here more then once..

And have seen many that ended badly no different then within local.. No one can predict what will happen so many issues come up with LDR's.

I have in the past tried a LDR and yes we would fly back and forth every other month and spent lots of time on the phone.. He moved here and did a 360 on the way he was...

Would I do it again....no it is just not for me... I'm not willing to move and would never ask anyone else to do so again..

Still does not mean it will not work out for others.. For I have seen the proof that it does work for many... just not for me..

I'm more of one that I prefer them to live local so we can go places and be around each other more a chance to get to really know them on a face to face type thing... LDR's to me is basically being alone or spending too much time wishing they were around.. For me I'm better off leaving LDR's for those that can deal with them better then I can..

Kuddos to those that have made that choice and making plans for the future... :thumbsup:

<scratches head>
it is an old asian thing
ignore them for a month if they are still there then it shows they really care or something like that
i have been told by a couple of my asian friends

uhm no i am not living in the past , the tread was about LDR , that was my experience
so i am not suppose to talk about it ?

and i never blamed the LDR for anything , i was just explaining the experience i had and just said as the numbers go they dont work out , look it up i did all ready
