Anyone else in a long distance relationship?


Question Posted Thursday December 9 2010, 9:59 pm

so im 17 yrs old from canada. im in a long distnace relationship with a guy who is also 17 and lives in the usa. 9 hrs and 36 min away from me. We talk every day on skype and have been for 10 months. We love eachother to death! we have so many things in common and even our birthdays are right after eachother. My family knows about him as well as his about me. my dad has talked to him and i have in ways talked to his. He plans on coming up here in the summer for a couple weeks to see me cause we have never meet in person. ...he just hasnt got the ok from his parents yet...and i really hope they say yes.

What im really askin here is, its the hardest thing i have ever done, parents arent really for it and some friends arent eiether which make it hard. Is there anyone who is in the same situation and still together...married maybe? What was it like meeting for the sametime? awkward? and advice? I really want to get peoples advice who are or were in a long distance relationship. Thank you so much for your time!

I've been in long distance relationships before. One was a guy that I met like you did, online, and hadn't met him. But we did the skype thing, and were committed to each other. We did that for over a year, til we finally couldn't take it anymore. When I think about all the money i've wasted in my life, why hadn't we just spent the few hundred dollars and spent a weekend together? I don't know. He still talks to me a lot, and I know he'll never move on til we do meet. I reccomend you two do meet up, because even if it doesn't go well, atleast you wont spend the rest of your life wondering what could have happened. Just be sure to be safe about it... Good luck <3

Hello.
The hardest thing to do is stay in a long distance relationship, but did you know that people stay together longer if they have had a long distance relationship in the past? It just brings people closer.
I have been in a long distance relationship before. The guy that I was with is now just my friend, until we meet of course. It can both be very awkward and not awkward. It all depends on what types of people you are. My advice is just ignore the people that don't like it. One day you will be with the guy you loved, and then you will get to say "I told you so" without any regrets.
Best of luck
xx

Mm, I haven't been in that specific situation, but I did meet my current boyfriend of almost 3 years online. We happen to live in the same town, though not everyone was a fan of our relationship, particularly because he's almost 4 years older than I am. And our first meeting was excruciatingly awkward, but we'd only been talking for a couple weeks. And once we started walking around things eased up and it was great.
However, I have a friend who met her fiance online as well. They talked online for several years and when they finally met it was the most incredible thing she'd ever experienced. They now live together and are getting married this summer. As long as you're completely honest with each other in who you are when you talk online, you should be fine meeting in person. I guarantee it will be a little bit awkward. You'll both be giddy and nervous and excited. But you'll get through it.
As for if your relationship will last, only time can tell. You're both very young and you'll be going through a lot of changes as you go on to college, etc. The best thing you can do is listen to your heart.

I am also in a long distance relationship. Its so hard because you do love them to death and when you're in love you feel like you should be with them. Yet again sometimes its easier to type what you feel and of course on web cam its not exactly REAL. It'll be so much different in person. You will be a nervous wreck from about a month before he comes till he gets there. But try not to worry if he is the love of your life and everything you think he is it will be fine. Ignore your parents and friends. People just don't understand unless they are put in that situation.I know what that's like and it is hard. But it'll be worth it after all is said and done. I wish you the best, just always be your self online and skype so it is easier in person. It can work I promise. Love is amazing and when you find it hold on to it.
