What is your view on long distance relationships? I started one today.. and I am nervous because I've heard both positive and negative things about them...
Additional info, added Thursday August 5 2004, 12:25 pm: I've been with him for 3 years already and he's now in the military. (and I am finishing out my senior year in high school.) I trust him and he trusts me. We both know there is going to be temptations, but we also know that if something 'bad' happens, we're willing to work through it..

BeezKneez answered Thursday August 5 2004, 11:42 am: Currently, I am in a long distance relationship as well. Sometimes it seems like I never get 2 see my boyfriend, and that sux, but just try 2 stay in contact w/ ur boyfriend or girlfriend whether it is on the phone or online or w/e. Also, try 2 make a point of seeing eachother @ least once a week, that way u wont grow far apart. Good luck w/ ur long distance relationship cuz sumtimes they r really hard 2 maintain. Let me know how everything works out! [ BeezKneez's advice column | Ask BeezKneez A Question ]
cherrykeri345 answered Thursday August 5 2004, 9:28 am: well. this is what i think. its hard. but if you REALLY love the guy and he REALLY loves you. then it should work out. the thing is....when you FINALLY see him your SOO excited and you missed him A LOT and there he is. another thing...your not goin to see him all that often. especially if hes really far away. you should have really thought if you wanted to go thru with this or not. but good luck anyways <3 ck [ cherrykeri345's advice column | Ask cherrykeri345 A Question ]
Karen answered Thursday August 5 2004, 9:21 am: Well I haven't been in a long distance relationship so I really don't know what to say.
I think long distance relationships can work out great its just you have to put a lot of trust into it. During this long distance relationship, get to know your boyfriend or girlfriend more so you can get trust in them. I hope this helped a little bit!

RileyRoo402 answered Thursday August 5 2004, 4:06 am: well they can be good but also bad. because you have to REALLY trust this guy or girl because they can cheat on you and you wouldn't know but it can be good because if this person gets on ur nervs you don't see him/her all the time so you'd probablt get over it and start missing him/her! so ii'm sorry but i think that's a personal opinion but i wouldn't do it.

Thickbabyie4u answered Thursday August 5 2004, 2:45 am: I don't like them, I jux got my heart broken over a long distance relationship, and then he fact that he was my first boyfriend, made it worse. I mean if you really like the guy that much, go for it, but then later, yall are gonna start missing eachother, and then yall will be complaining and fighting to the point when one of you will move on, I say try it but if you do, be careful! Jux my opinion! Good Luck! God Bless! ~1ne~ [ Thickbabyie4u's advice column | Ask Thickbabyie4u A Question ]
LoStNcOnFuZeD answered Thursday August 5 2004, 2:10 am: It really depends. I think that long distance relationships are difficult because you don't get to spend time with each other. You might often find yourself wanting to be with other ppl because your needs may not be getting met. But, long distance relationships can work out if both people are entirely committed. I say though it is better to not get involved in them. Especially if you're a teen. [ LoStNcOnFuZeD's advice column | Ask LoStNcOnFuZeD A Question ]
RoXyChiCk17 answered Thursday August 5 2004, 1:54 am: I went out with this guy that lived about 5 hours from me. It was hard because you always have that thought in the back of your mind that your not there to see if your boyfriend is flirting with other girls and if he is doing stuff behind your back. It's hard.. you have to have a lot of trust in your boyfriend. But if you guys love each other alot and you know he's fathful to you then it should be good. Me and my ex both drive so it was kinda easier to see each other. Anyway, i hope i helped! GoodLuCk! :) [ RoXyChiCk17's advice column | Ask RoXyChiCk17 A Question ]
kevin1986 answered Thursday August 5 2004, 1:53 am: They never work unless the person isnt away for very long. Why tie yourself down anyway? I mean,seriously,how can you say that he/she is my boyfriend when you can't even see them? It's sad that relationships have to end sometimes,but you'll find somebody else. You owe yourself and your ex more than just a phone call a week and calling that a relationship. [ kevin1986's advice column | Ask kevin1986 A Question ]
Siren_Cytherea answered Thursday August 5 2004, 1:44 am: A long distance relationship can work, but only if both parties are willing to work at it. If both are loyal, faithful, and trustworthy, I see nothing wrong with them.
However, it will be hard not to be able to see your guy every day, or even every week.
I mean, my guy went to Vegas for the summer (he's coming back in six days, but still) and it really hurt in the beginning not to be able to see him.
The cons to this situation mostly consist of your not being able to see each other, and at some point you'll probably worry about him cheating on you, which sucks.
I got worried about it, and I KNOW my guy would never cheat.
It's up to you, really, whether it's a good situation or a bad one.
