    sometimes, when you start chatting to someone online and they live far away you can connect with that person and want to meet -then you have a long distance relationship. This happened to me i'm in swansea and he was in kettering. That was 7 yrs ago. We are now married and he lives in swansea too now. So it can work out sometimes.

    I dont think anyone WANTS to have a long distance relationship. Life happens and gets in the way, you just have to work around it. If someone wants to be with their long distance BF or GF enough/or they love them enough, they will move to where the other person is and quit the long distance thing.

    Those people who have relationships over the internet or out of state "just because" are probably wasting their time. Long distance relationships wont last if there isnt commitment.

    Well honey I'm in a long distance relationship and I love the one I'm with. I mean I trust him completely and the feelings are mutual. When we started going out the circumstances were that it was already long distance, so I'm not going to stop seeing someone I love because of a state boundary. I'd love him if he were on the move. It's not perfect, but it's not a problem to us. I'll eventually move out there, but until then it's phone calls and visits. If we can get through this together, then we can get through anything. A long distance relationship makes a relationship stronger, it's the ultimate trust test.

    When you're a virgin and a Christian it makes it easier because sexual needs aren't really problem. You have to truly love the person you're with long distance or otherwise, it has to be the person for you or it won't work anyway.

    People try long distance because the idea of breaking up is unbearable. I live in the Middle East and my boyfriend moved back to England last summer. We'd been together for a year and we were crazy about each other, and the breaking up was too painful... so we tried it. We're both seniors in high school, but his dad lost his job here and they had to go back, and we knew that I'd be going back to England THIS summer... we though we could do a year..... well, we couldn't and as it turns out, it was awful. He was settling into his new school, busy making friends and didn't have time for me, which made me bitter and even more lonely. I guess we just weren't right for it.. We broke up in early October and these days we're really good friends and it works a lot better for us. I think that when a LDR works, it's great, but it's a lot tougher than people expect it to be, and if you're not a strong enough couple or individual to do it then the results can be disasterous. If you're thinking of trying it you need to weigh up the pros and cons and make sure that your relationship is right for it.

    I don't think that people want a long distance relationship, it just so happen that the person that they truly love happens to be far away... and I believe that when you love somebody no distance can ever take it away from you as long as both of you have trust, faith, love, communication and respect I believe it will truly work as long as both of you have the same feeling. And when you find this person you will just love to be in a long distance relationship and wait for the day that you can be together.

    I did no want to have a long distance relationship, it just happened and it worked (I was very lucky of course).

    I always liked to learn about other countries and cultures and languages and that's why I liked talking to people from so many different countries. Others will use this as a way to get the "green card".

    It's not a matter whether people 'wants' to be in a long distant relationship. It's more of the two people in the relationship wanting it to work. Being in a long distant relationship sucks because when you're missing the person, there's no way you can be with them, but apart from that I think that long distant relationships work out if there's enough love and trust and it does make a couple stronger. But nobody wants it because it hurts to be in one. But at the end, if they are really worth it,

    It's working for us. It's tough because you sometimes just really miss having that touch, feeling his arms around you, all those things, but it is well worth the wait. When you find the right person you will know it without a doubt and you will do everything in your power to make it work. There won't be any thoughts of staying faithful and trusting if you truly love this person, you will just know in your heart that you are all his and he is all yours and there will be no worries about that. How long? Kind of depends on how strong your feelings are and what it will take for you to be together. Like I said, if you feel it in your heart then you will wait it out until you can be together. Good luck.

    I don't think anyone initially says, "wow, if i were in a long-distance relationship, that would be awesome!!!" it's just one of those things that happens. sometimes people meet at times when life doesn't permit them to be in the same vicinity of each other. other times people need to move away for them...and no other reason. i speak from experience. it's not the easiest of things to do. it takes a lot of understanding, trust and compromise. but, it does test your relationship. if you can withstand the distance, you can pretty much withstand anything. besides, the distance forces you to enjoy every moment you have in that person's presence, because you don't know when you'll see that person again. it could be weeks...it could be months. again, the long distance thing isn't for everyone. but if you have trust and communication, it makes it a hell of a lot easier.

    The best way to get back your ex is https://tr.im/ZeTfA

    Here's the hard part: Pretend she never existed, like it was all a dream, don't call her, that will make you the smaller person, be the bigger person since you deserve better, what she did to you on Valentines Day was immature, especially after dating for four years. This person wasted allot of your time and through it out the window. Go out tonight, even it it is only yourself, don't drink and call or feel sorry for yourself, this will only cause you embarrassment! I know your hurting..This will eventually will go away in time. Today is not a good day for you and your emotions are spinning all over the place.

    Please, whatever you do, don't answer her calls and don't call her. If she keeps calling, which she pro bally won't, don't return her call for 5 days. Make her sweat and DO Not get back together right away if you discuss this in 5 days. Tell her since she Broke up with you, you have done allot of thinking, and had the taste of "being single again" and you would like more time being "friends" for now, so you are sure you are making the right decision. Remember "She decided she didn't want to be with you" so the door is open for you to get out and see what you have been missing for four years. You honestly need to do this for yourself.

    She doesn't know, but what she did was give you the best valentines day present you will ever get! A new start and a new beginning, use it to your advantage. You will look back on this and Thank God this happened now instead of 4 more wasted years of YOUR life. Today does suck, stay Strong and I promise you your life is going to be so much more exciting and you are going to be happy. If you continue to call and call her, she will think of you as needy and won't want you. She is going to rethink what she did to you today and will be hurt, if you act like you could care less. Girls always want the ones they can't have. That is who you are now to her. Let her suffer,realizing what a mistake she made. This will drive her crazy. Right now she is on cloud 9 thinking you will take her back, OH, is she stupid!

    Your life isn't ruined, hers is..She lost someone special, and gave you a gift to let to live life and find someone you deserve. You are not getting back at her, your teaching her what an idiot she is and what she lost and what you gained without her. SO when You eventually talk to her, tell her thank you for what she did...

    She will be hurt and you will be happy!

    Some people like to have long distance relationships because they don't know how to show PDA. Or they would be able to focus on school if you were to go to the same school as them. Theres always a good reason for long distance relationshipd. sometimes they don't start off that way.
