It works just fine. Takes trust, commitment and determination. When I met my mate on here (7 years ago) we spent a year talking (about 7-8 times a day) because (surprise) phones work! Then he visited cross-continent, twice, then he moved here. Fairy tales do come true :-) That’s nice to hear. Maybe it is easier if both people are just within the same country. It’s pretty tough if the distance goes beyond continents Maybe, but the size of the usa you could be closer to another coninent than you are to the other side of the country! |

But traveling and moving to a totally unknown country and culture is not as easy as just moving to a different state. Not to mention it’s far more expensive. You know what I mean? |

Some people who live together are a billion miles apart.
Long distance can't go on forever and according to the great Shakespeare, the course of a true love never did run smooth. But we are all on the same planet, at least some of us are, and that means just a flight away. |

I truly am happy for you and Eric, but in my opinion, reality is 99.9% of LDRS are a waste of time. |

But we are all on the same planet, at least some of us are, and that means just a flight away. Good point joe, I agree with this. I believe if there is a true connection, and desire, then distance in mileage doesn't matter. Where there is a will, there is usually always a way. And if not, then perhaps it's just not meant to be. Edited in... it's nice to have that person close enough to touch, seems to be the preferred method. I pretty much prefer that myself. But then I have had that and there were times when we were miles apart, standing next to each other. So personally for me, I choose to no longer place limitations on potential love due to any amount of physical miles between us. |

I was the one who introduced my friend to the concept of online dating . Like thousands of others, I have not been successful in finding a mate using this medium for YEARS, whereas my friend found her now fiancee after a measely 3 weeks of cyber chatting!  My point is this...Who can predict what relationship will fail and which ones will succeed without actually trying??? Even if the majority of LDRs fail, why should those statistics be a prediction of an individual's outcome , anymore than all the failing marriages and relationships in the world should be held as a blue print for any individual's future? The love of your life may exist in a country, race, age-range or physical package that you simply can not predict. What is so wrong with having the courage to explore that fact, if one deems the risk as worthwhile? |

Obviously there is no way to predict which relationship will succeed. Just as obviously, the majority of relationships fail. I'm a pragmatic person and I believe that time is the one commodity that cannot be replaced.
I believe the time invested in LDR's versus the small percentage of success makes no sense on a logical level. I get that the heart wants what it wants, but far too often I see people creating long distance fantasies only to be crushed. In the time it takes one long distance failure there can be numerous local failures...

I know people who regretted their 20 year investment in a close proximity relationship.
I know people who look back on their 2 year investment in an LDR that failed but still rate that union as one of the most fulfilling relationships of their lives. None of us have total control over which relationships will succeed versus those that will fail. All we can do is carefully decide WHO IS WORTH THE RISK. That's just my take on it |

Exactly! Thanks peggy, I couldn't have said it better. Cheers Pisces Cheers peggy I was thinking about the topic and I didn't really comment on ways to survive a LDR. I believe in some of the same ways you survive a face to face relationship. It takes allowing yourself to go through those painful feelings and giving yourself time to heal so you can move forward in life. What are your thoughts peggy? |
