How to make a long distance relationship working ?

It take two to tango. You need both to work it out not just by one person alone. When you turned him down on meeting him I sensed he was disappointed in you and maybe he thinks you are not serious with him. You are lucky because your friend made an effort to meet you in person but you denied him that chance. It must be upsetting him that the communication between you stopped. What you should do next time is to make sure you give your time to that someone when he asks you to meet. Keep the communication and do not loose it. Always be honest and open with your feelings with each other. Don't let distance hinders your relationship to grow. If you both feel strongly for each other, fight for it to work it out. Hope everything will turn out ok with you and your friend soon.

i am in a long distance relationship and we dont just settle with emails. we videochat, send each other videos, do something cheezy and always give a reassurance that we love each other.

Well that was hard I had once before in that situation and didn't work well to me. But I found some helpful lesson from that relationship. Always remember that if that person is missing you a lot never give him a no answer but instead a good explanation as much as you don't wanted if you want to that kind of relationship you must have a very long patience and understanding. And most specially is th trust be honest and transparent to him/her be opened and always makes him/her special and you are dying to see him/her and missing him/her a lot.

hello there elizabeth, long distance relationships work sometimes.. but you have to have a lot of commitment, faith, trust, and constant communication with each other if you want this kind if relationship to work out.. it's not easy to keep a long distance relationship because it's like having a virtual relationship with someone you haven't ever physically met. i'd suggest, the next time you'd have a long distance love affair... just grab the chance to meet up with the person or you might regret it for the rest of your life. because knowing the person through chat, emails, or snailmails is way to different than meeting, talking, or knowing him in person.. who knows he may be not you kind of guy when you get to know him in person.. so it would be better to see the person physically to assess and know further if he really has the potential to be your lifetime partner... that's if you want to have a serious relationship with someone across the country... so best of luck for you long distance relationship.. and i hope, i have answer your question God bless.. take care... and Happy Holidays!
