Any thoughts, advice, regrets, experience? Anyone in one right now?

long distance relationships are exactly the same as a short distance one, therefor, they should be handled the same.

same = they're both gonna suck, if now not, for sure later!

the best way to avoid this situation is not getting involved in either. and if you're thinkin im pretty crazy right now... just think about your friends right now. who seems to be the happiest? betr it's the single one's. the one's that arent single and appear to be happy... they're not worthy of being your friend if they can pull off a lie like that right to your face.

Except for the ones that aren't lieing about their happiness. Granted I don't have the best marriage in the world but it's a heck of a lot better than when I was single! Besides, it's getting better with each passing day.



Back on topic:
I had a LD relationship back at the end of HS beginning of college. I loved her and she loved me but it was at a time in our lives in which change is huge. She lived near Fargo, ND and I was near Denver, CO (about 1,000 mile distance.)

The last time we met (as soph's in college) we decided we had turned into much different people than when we met 4 years previously. We wrote letters quite abit as we couldn't afford the phone bills and parents didn't want us tieing up the phones for hours at a time. I learned a lot from the relationship but I would definitely not recommend something like that to anyone!

My friend and I were talking about this the other day, we were joking. What if a guy/girl from Florida met a hot girl/guy and kept a long distance relationship in Alaska or Hawaii. It would be over SO quickly.

i went out with this guy for like 9 months. Turns out he had to move to kentucky (at the time i lived in tennessee). It lasted for like 2 weeks and i'm like "screw it. i love him to death, but it aint working." so i broke up with him, we turned into the best of friends, he moved back down right before the summer and wouldn't you know it. that summer i moved to kentucky. funny how it all works out...

That's messed up. Maybe it wasn't meant to be.

About 8 months/ 700 miles... saw each other maybe 2 times in that period.™

Don't work. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along.

Ahem...errr....

Well, my wife was involved in a long-distance relationship when we started working together. And since she's now my wife, I'd suggest that long-distance relationships are tough to keep up. You have to have a very secure relationship to begin with or things can just happen.

FYI, I didn't intentionally try to steal her away. Things just clicked...
