My girlfriend is moving three states over for 6 months because of family problems but will for sure be back by then. She says she wants to continue dating while shes gone but i dont know if i can do that. We would only beable to talk on the phone and maybe i could drive over a few times. Anyone else had a long distance relationship? Whats it like, what do you have to do to make it work?
MaNdASzHElP247 answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 1:48 am: Well i dont but i did. Trust me its really hard. But we cared so much about eachother we did what we could to make it work. If you care for her then just try your best. To make it work, you guys both gotta be there for eachother. Talk alot.

Mercy_x_Me answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 3:26 pm: basically long distance relationships are based on trust. Do you guys trust eachother enough not to mess around with other people? If you love her enough you probably wont be questioning whether or not you want to stay with her. As long as you can drive to see her and talk to her on the phone alot it will actually strengthen your relationship because by the time she comes back you will appreciate her so much more and time you spend with her will be such a gift.
Airie answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 2:30 pm: well, u shud definatly keep dating her cuz she's needs yur support. just call her once in a while, maybe every other day, and write to her, so she alwasy has sumthin to look forward to in the mail. Send her stuff to let her know that yur thinking about her. [ Airie's advice column | Ask Airie A Question ]
xForeverxForgottenx answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 2:19 pm: to make it work you have to be able to trust the other person. they are far away but you have to trust that they wont cheat on you. if they love you then they wont. and its not like shes permanently moving there. it will just make her return even more special because you havent really gotten to see her much. it might even bring you closer. hope i helped.

Blondie04 answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 1:43 pm: It takes patience and strong love. If you really love this girl, you will keep in contact with her any way you can. If you can get her mailing address, email address, and phone number, write her and talk to her constantly. You can drive to see her occasionally if you want. It takes faith and courage and a really strong bond between the both of you to make it work. I had a relationship like that one time, and we broke up, but not becuase of the distance. He moved back and started pushing the relationship really fast, and found it was moving too fast and blamed me for it. [ Blondie04's advice column | Ask Blondie04 A Question ]
jeanine278972 answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 1:38 pm: Im involved in a long distance relationship right now.. he's only been gone for like 2 weeks, but i miss him soo much already. They are really hard to make work. even tho u might get to see each other, it takes alot of work to keep ur love strong. After a while of not seeing them, u start to wonder if its really worth all the work.
To make them work, u both have to trust the other. Without trust, u have nothing. Also, don't call so much she thinks your checkin on her, but call enuff so she knows u care.
Thats all I can really tell u about them. GOOD LUCK!!
If u need anything else, drop one in the inbox! Im always here to help!!
jj15 answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 1:29 pm: yes I hve been through a long distance relationship, They keep contact but u always worry what their doing or if they forgot or something like that,
so if she wants u to keep dateing then keep dateing until she comes back. [ jj15's advice column | Ask jj15 A Question ]
HollyAnn2282 answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 1:24 pm: Well if you really love her hun i think it can work. It is 6 months and thats better than a year. But if you really like her, you can make it work. Also i've had a relationship with a guy that lived out of the U.S. now thats a tough one!!! Best wishes.

chain_chica answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 1:00 pm: well in my experience it doesent but maybe talking a small break for that period of time should be best and then it that way you wont be dating but at leased you know that you wont break up or argu alot and you can still talk to her o the phne just like you were going out but it will be a break.
