I want to know what you think about long distance relationships. I also want some happy ending stories about how you were in a long distance relationship and how it ended up.
Im in one now and its killing me. Just want some encouragement...
So how did you make it work?
Thanks everyone
Sorry, I have never been in a long distance relationship. But here are some good ways to make it work!
1. Ask the important questions at the onset, to make sure you are both clear on the parameters of the relationship. Setting parameters such as naming your relationship ( dating, seeing each other, boyfriend/girlfriend, engaged)as well defining exclusive(limited to one person,) non exclusive.
2. Communicate in some way every day, more than once if possible. Since you won't be seeing each other, it's important to establish and maintain an emotional connection. These don't have to be long, in-depth conversations (though those should occur sometimes). Tell each other about your little triumphs and tragedies. Ask for advice. Write love letters. Send small gifts or flowers for no reason. In this case, quantity is as important as quality

COMMUNICATION is key! Make sure you're both clear that you BOTH want to be in this relationship. I was in a long distance relationship for quite some time and we were constantly talking on the phone. It also helped that we both drove and could see each other on the weekends. Unfortunately our relationship didn't work out but we still remain really good friends. I hope all works out for you :)
I'm in california and my ex-boyfriend moved to new york 4 months into our relationship. I was so sad and devastated because you would have to leave because he was a really great friend and i really really liked him. It was extremely difficult at first but we got through it. We called each other every night, talked, and just relaxed. The hardest part of it was that he wasn't physically there with me. Personally I like to hold hands, hug, and kiss. I found that hard because I couldn't do it. We tried an open relationship. We didn't really date anyone else, but it was good to have that option and it helped us like each other even more. Long distance relationships are hard to commit to but not impossible. It was fun while it lasted. When he came back for the summer, picking him up at the airport was such a great reunion. haha it was very emotional and funny. but what ended the relationship was not the distance but we found our differences and ended it there.

Long distance proved to be a really good thing for my relationship. If you can make it through long distance, you can make it through just about anything! It can be a great litmus test: if it's meant to work out then your relationship will be stronger when you are finally together, and if it's not meant to work out, then it will be over sooner then later (saving you time and energy). My favorite quote about long distance is by Rochefoucault and it's something like, "distance ends little passions but encourages great ones, the way the wind extinguishes small flames but fans a fire."
Good luck!
I was in a long-distance relationship for over 2 years. It's hard!!!!!! There is a tremendous about of trust involved and if that trust isn't there, you might as soon forget about it because it will never work. We used to talk on the phone 24-7 and never wanted to hang up with one another. I remember waking up every morning just to start another day waiting for a phone call. It might sound stupid, but I believe a long-distance relationship to be the best communication you will ever have with someone. In other words, when you are in a long-distance relationship, all you can do is talk 24-7 since you can't be with each other when you want. Therefore, you create a strong bond and communication lines with that person which is one of the foundations to any good relationship.
With all that said, I do regret to tell you that my long-distance relationship failed, but was not a waste. He is still and continues to be, one of the closest and best friends I have in my life and I have no regrets.
Your ending might be a bit happier than mine. Fingers crossed for you... best of luck :)
My fiancee and I would always talk non-stop, him and I been through many many hard times but we made it work, we always reassured each other that we loved the other and now I am living with him. I lived in NY and him in WA and I just moved here two months ago.
I've been in a few long distance relationships and i can say that a lot of them do kill you because you want to just hold them and everything. But right now, own experience I want someone who would be long distance but she don't want that cause she doesn't feel that it would work, and for a lot of people it doesn't work but it really depends on the person. Some tips on helping the relationship work, Try calling them every night at a certain time for like an hour before you both go to sleep, that way you can make it like your on a date and talk about what you would on a date. Plan to go and see them one day like at christmas or something. Randomly send them gift or like a letter about how much you want them with you etc...
Those things helped me. Hope they help you :] and I hope it all works out.
