well, currently i'm in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend. and sometimes it does hurt to be far apart. but to be on the positive side, at least the both of us have the freedom with our friends before marriage comes later. and certainly, in long distance relationships we must have trust and lots and lots of patience.

i've been in a long distance relationship before. No doubt it was very hard, especially with the time difference. i have no idea how i survived that, but i did. drove me nuts at times and made me cry too. but there are many means to keep in touch; telephone, email, IMs, digi cam..etc. i missed him a lot, every single second and wish i could see him or for him to be physically there with me, whenever i was sad or happy. you need to have a solid trust, as you're not able to see what your other half is doing. And you need to have lots of faith, enough to not make you give up on your relationship. but i believe, in the end, love is what that holds you together. if two people really love each other, no matter how far they apart they are, they'll be able to go thru the relationship. love knows no boundaries;).

I don't favour long distance relationships. Even if i possess one, i would like to turn it into a close relationship as soon as possible else it would be too late to carry on with the relationship. I have experienced a long distance relationship which ended up after 3 years but we could not see each other even once in 3 years.. I met a girl online, about 5 years back. We had a nice chat and we continued to chat on alternate days for about one month. By that time she had given me her phone number so we started talking on phone. We exchanged our pics and did like each other. I even proposed her after 2 months or so and she accepted my proposal after another month. We went away nicely. But unfortunately couldn't meet each other ever. We loved each other(as i hope) and everytime i could think of meeting her(we lived in different cities) some or the other thing happened which won't allow us to meet. Situations were turning against us.Then after 2 years or so, some incident happened with her due to which our relation started deteriorating. She was not allowed to talk to boys. And i kept on asking her for time so that i can come over to her place to see her. But unfortunately we ended up and i still don't know the reason..WHY?. So as far as i m concerned, i used to believe in long-distance relationships, but i am afraid to take any chances now. I have seen a 4 year close relationship ending up in 4 months just because they got separted after 4 years. So you really can't belive.. Whats gonna happen?

I don't believe in long distance love affair. It's really hard due to temptations near us. Thus, it will survive if love is strong enough to face the consequences like having third party then forgiving or do something for a better communication. Trust the person and believe whatever your partner said. When it comes to marriage, despite the cheating, it will still survive if the woman think her siblings first rather that herself. Think of having a whole family and a father to the child. That was great sacrificing.

As much as possible, I prefer to be close to the one I love, but you are right, sometimes in order to prepare for the future, one has to go work abroad. I guess it's up to the couple to remain in love and faithful to make it work. I have been in a long distance relationship and it's really hard.

You know what?I really hate long distance relationship..it's really hard..but I realized that sometimes we have to be far from our loved ones especially if you have your own family..to have a good future...Besides, it's not how far you are to each other as long as you have faith in your love,no distance can separate you...you have to trust each other that in the end your love will tie your hearts and will lasts forever..

I know that it is quiet hard being in a long distance relationship. But I know a few who have been to that anbd now living a happily ever after. There rae times that we have to do something even if its hard and sometimes love has its own way. I just say here that give your best in whatever relationship you're into, in whatever situation you're into, and in the end... no matter what hppen... you wont go wrong being at your best.

Well for the most part I think it would depend on the situation. Like for example if you just met someone over the net, then no. If someone you are in a serious relationship with, then possibly yes because I can totally understand and respect point about realizing how important someone eles is to you, but on the other hand there are diff fingers If you just got into a realationship that is going to end up being a long term relationship then you might actually realize how much you really do not think you and this other person are ment for each other. Am I making any sense?

In certain ways long distance relationship happens, for me should i say it is possible, why because communication could no longer be a reason not to get in touch with someone who's special, someone you care, there are many way's that you can communicatie as long as you exert a little bit effort, but for some reason there would be danger, because it is easy to put a sheep's clothing, it is easy to be nice to somebody you never see, you never touch personally. Only one thing is learn to sense who's true and not, or it could be possible to consider that with the evolvement of new high technology someone was just destined for you maybe you just need to be open and considerate or should i say ask for help.
