Shaedo K :

That's one way it could go, or you could "not" breakup.

I'm having my best ever relationship, and it's online turned long distance.

legacyme3 : Tell me how that goes a year from now.

Shaedo K :

If you summon me back here in a year, I'll be sure to.

My opinion on long-distance/ online relationships is that if you feel that you can trust the person, then its your choice. I have indifference to this type of dating because I have been in a relationship like this. My brother also was in one and it lasted nearly 6 years.

Shaedo K : The whole point you're missing is that I'm not you, and my girlfriend isn't the girls you've dated. I spent a bunch of money to go see my girlfriend for a week last year, and I'm still with her. We're planning on seeing each other again soon, too. It will be our third year anniversary in 13 days.

Yeah I felt that way until I stopped feeling that way. You'll learn. I had the same long distance girlfriend from age 15 to age 19, and we don't talk anymore. After her I had two more long distance girlfriends. I'm 23 now.  

You'll learn.

I'm not against them personally. They are harder and there are more issues such as not knowing 100% if they are truthful about their personal lives such as what they do and who they really are (not that that isn't an issue sometimes in non long distance). I technically had a little bit of a ling distance relationship, but different from most who have posted in this thread. Everyone else seems to have started out online or long distance. Mine started in town (we went to the same high school) that started back in 2006. We started our relationship literally near the end of our senior year. I stayed here for college and she went to a college 4 hours away. We saw each other MAYBE once a month. The long distance thing only lasted a year though, as she moved back to our hometown and we went to college there for a year. Then we both moved to Emporia (where we are now), got an apartment together, and went to school here. We have been together for over 6 years, and we actually just got married this June. So if you put the work into it, they can work out. Though my situation is slightly different, we are proof that you can make it work.

Distance don't matter, like age don't too. I've started to go out with a girl ( I'm a girl too ) that is from 2h from me and 'cause I'm really busy with my studies, we can't see each other while i'm at school. Even though, I love her more than anyone I've loved before. Many said me ''She's far and too young for you!'' Because she's almost 16 ans I'm almost 19. But if it was a girl and a boy, then, it would be cute...tsss...Anyway. Distance doesn't matter for us because we're used to talk on computer and to play games together. She wants to become a miner so we have to be used to wait for each other 'cause she will be gone 2-3 month for 2-3 weeks of free time.

Love is love, even with distance. There so much bad couples and worst love situation than that, If there's true love and respect, your couple worth it.

Any kind of relationship would be nice lol  

If you love them and you want to make it work, then why not?

In my opinion, I don't think they will work for the most part. There are, of course, the rarities where the couples do manage to pull it off, but most of the time, the far distance for a long period of time can lead to cheating...However, that doesn't mean that you can try long distance, under most circumstances, they do work out.

Online long distance relationship. I am single but have dated girls before but can not do online or long distance relationship. If I want to date someone I'd make sure the person would be close to me so I can see them and get to know them, and take them out to eat since I ride a bike, yet I do not have a car either. But that's me and if you have a car and a lot of money I guess it would be fine.

I really don't care about them either way.

I think if online/long distance relationships are alright. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. And honestly, if it works, then it's an opportunity that never needed to be missed. My best friend and I - we tried a long distance relationship but they moved shortly after and he was having a lot of issues coping, so our relationship did not go over well. He's still my all-time best friend, and honestly, I still like him and he still likes me... but it's not a big deal. We're content to be just best friends. I know I can go to him if I need help and vice-versa. It's a comfortable agreement. 

And it came about only because we did try a long distance relationship. It worked for us for a year and then things went to crap because we couldn't take the stress of being apart for so long. I know a chick who went moved to live with her long distance boyfriend and the real life relationship was absolute crap for her. So it really just depends on how willing you are to tolerate it, honestly.

Synaen : Well, I have tried online/long distance relationships in the past. It didn’t really work out. I think it all depends on what a person prefers to be honest. For me it’s all about communication and the ability to actually spend time with someone. I think online or long distance can work if there is a previous relationship between two people before hand or if there is a current relationship or even marriage where one is abroad due to work related matters etc. In my opinion unless I’m married and have to travel for work or what have you long distance/online just isn’t for me but I certainly don’t judge anyone who does go that route. As I’ve said it all depends on what a person prefers.

I've been in several online relationships, and although some of them have turned out to be terrible in the fact that it was all just a game to them, it is a learning experience.   I'm not suggesting everyone should, but when you have a hard time connecting with any people of your desired gender in your area, sometimes the best answer is usually someone out there.   With more people delving into the online dating scene you are going to have good and bad people.  My dad met my stepmother online, and they turned out good.  My mom met my step dad over the web and well he's a whiny little cry baby who is about 11 years older.   I have two really good friends in college who met online, they live happily together and are engaged.   He moved all the way over from the Midwest to the College we all went to just to be with her. So it has its pro's and con's.   As with any relationship you just have to be patient with it, don't rush or you will get hurt, and well watch out for perv's or anyone looking for just a good time if you want something with commitment.   My best relationship was a result of online dating, but things just fell apart when her parents just took a hostile approach to me. We aren't even a year apart in age, but at the time its understandable why they would.   But time passes on. I hope however way any of you finds romantic happiness that it works out!

I don't think long distance relationships are good for anybody. I think about negative things a lot, but i guess if you have an oovoo or a skype than it'll probably be okay.
