Long distance relationship?


Question Posted Thursday April 28 2011, 12:56 pm

I know this really sweet guy, but he lives in Illinois. He is very smart, patient, and cute, and I think I'm starting to like him. I live in Florida, though, and right now I really can't travel.

I really think I'm beginning to like him though, and he said he likes me too. He told me he has had a long distance relationship before with a girl that lived in San Diego, and she moved in with him and he found out after a year of dating her she was cheating on him the whole time. He seems like a very sensitive, emotional guy, and I want to try to make a long distance relationship work, but I know it will be difficult for both of us. Any advice?

Well long distance relationships can be tough! The best advice I can give is to call the person everyday and use all your communication tools (facebook, texting, twitter, email, etc). Its not easy and you probably know that going into this relationship. Sometimes its going to be hard because that person is not always going to be there when you want them too. If you really care for this guy though and if you think he's worth it then go for it! Good luck!

Hey!well im in a long distance relationship with a guy from Illinois. He is amazing, sweet, repectful and so good to me. We met on a site called omegle and have been talking ever since. I am however from canada, 9 hours away from him. I can tell you right now, long distance relationships can work...if you make them work. I have been in this relationship for 15 months! and...we havent met in person yet, planning on it in the summer. Not being able to see him is the hardest thing i have ever had to go through. None will really understand what you are going through unless they are in a long distance relaitonship. and when i mean LDR, i mean you dont see them for months at a time. Long distance relationships are very hard, you need to both be willing to put forth the effort that it requires.

You guys just have to be very honest with eachother, and talk about absoluetly everything. the fact that hey has been cheated on for that long is going to make it harder for him to trust people. so youll have to reasure him that you will never cheat on him. Just talk about everything. My personal opinoion, i think that you should try this LDR. Its not gonna hurt anything if you try. I am living proof that it can work. 15 months is a very long time and we talk everyday. Be honest about everything, decide if you both are willing to go through this together, rules ect.

I think you should go for it! you never know wat is gonna happen, you could end up marrying him someday. If nothing happens and you guys realize you guys cant do this, well then you learned something about yourself, that LDR are not for you lol. Good luck! He sounds like a very nice guy, and knowing that he has been in a LDR shows how committed he is when he is in a relationship. so that is a bonus for you! Good luck! if you have anymore questions, feel free to contact me. Id love to help ya out :)

Relationships in general can be difficult and tough, however, when the couple really cares about each other they can truly get through anything. Especially the distance. Since you both really like one another, give it a try. You both have to be able to trust one another in order to make a long distance relationship work. It's going to be tough because you would want to see him and spend time with him, and when you live so far apart that can be frustrating for the both of you. I know when I don't see my boyfriend for a week, I miss him like crazy because I'm so used to spending time with him. The best thing for you right now is just to take it slow and see where things are going. When you are able to start traveling more, it'll get a lot easier for the both of you. Good luck with everything!
