FoxMcCloud Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 From my experience what I did was plan occasional trips to see them and vice versa, although I know not everyone can afford to do that. Also, lots and lots of talking on the phone. Yeah we do that alot, along with Skype video chats. It helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Instead of small, short trips, we stick with long trips, but only twice a year. The bad thing about this is having to cut up big jobs opportunities in order to get that much time available. Oh well. Now that we need the money, we are going to try short trips, but more often :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drasiana Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I really don't have any concerns, but for some of you lovebirds who are attempting the Long distance relationship, what are some of the ways you guys deal with the long distance away from each other? It really, really depends on the person I think. I don't like giving romantic advice because what applies to me doesn't always apply to everyone else. I haven't been able to visit him because of monetary and time issues, but we're both quite happy with just talking to one another. Now that I think of it, it's really odd, because I don't think I've consciously thought of how to "make it work" (outside of the typical rules of "not being a dick"), it just sort of has. Really, I think that people need to stop thinking of relationships as something that require a guidebook; it's intuitive and ever-changing, and something for you to discover and decide on rather than trying hard to conform to any sort of "rules". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psygonis Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I concur with Dras, depending on individuals (two at a time in that case ), long-distance can work. I've past a whole year seeing my first girlfriend once every several months (because she lived in Switzerland and me in France) before we had an occasion to live together. And actually, that was alright, thanks to new communication techs, willpower and so on and so forth... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thu'um Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 ajc would find it harder and easier to date some one online or long distance. For popel who are xtremely busy they don't have to spend to much time more then a 4 or 5 weekends with their partner, Its also easier to be honest online IMO becasue you don't feel judge by your peers. But then if you wanted at be active with your partner that'd be harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 My boyfriend lives in Norway, I freaked the hell out, priorities, etc. Case and point he's not dead and I'm eternally thankful, carry on. Really? Canucks and Norwegians seems to go quite well together. May I ask from where in Norway he is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't Facebook, so I am not going to like it, but I am going to say that I agree with this. There really aren't specific rules you have to follow, it all matters with what the two are comfy with. Good to hear it is all swell too, Dras. =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K9Beast Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Well, I guess you could I have a crush, but im going to high school so you could say otherwise. I think she thinks of me as just a friend, because we text each other all the time, but nothing serious. Just thought I would share. Good Luck!

Cavemonkynick Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 So my story is in on october 24, 2007 i started dating the girl who whould become the love of my life, Bailey. Notice i said started dating, not met. We've known each other all our lives. We grew up in the same church and when i was a kid we did NOT like each other AT ALL. Then my family changed churches for a while when i was 7 and came back when i was about 14-15, somthing like that. I had dated twice before. The first girl i dated in the sixth grade and she was two grades ahead of me and only dated me to get back at her ex, who was three grades ahead of me. Needless to say i lost intrest in girls for a little while. Too hard to read. In the ninth grade a friend told me another frind of mine liked me and wanted to go out. I said yes. She dumped me literaly 4 hours later because har dad said she couldn't have a boyfriend... RAGEQUIT! A few months later we started going my to my old, and current, church. Bailey had grown up but she didn't talk to me much, which at the time i enjoyed because when we were little she liked to play "Beat the crap outta nick's arm because he can't hit me back" which was not fun. A few months later on october 23, we had a penny drive for out youth group. Only our ride flaked on us and we had to put 7 people in my dads 06 honda which was also not fun... at first:) On the way out i avoided having anyone in my lap by sitting in the middle. When we got there and started out door to door trek i unintently made the first move. See there was this other girl on the trip who had a crush on me but she was, and still is, a total nut case. So to kinda keep her away from me i put my arm around Bailey's shoulder to keep her between me and crazy chick. After a while she started putting her arm around my waist. On the way home, having a lap sitter wasn't so bad;) The next day i asked if she was intrested and she said "why not?" Back then she was very shy so we wern't very public about our relationship, but after a few months of working past that aquward stage of "I'm not really sure how to go about this" people started notcing. We spent the next year or so really getting to know each other (not like that perv). Then i got my drivers license and were able to really start dating. It was like nothing i've ever experienced. I had found a girl who really loved me who who i was, and i loved her the same. Time went on and we grew coser and closer together, then in Febuary of this year 2011 she told me she was considering joining the Navy. I was worried but i didn't think she'd go through with it. Then in May, just before she graduated, she told me her mind was made up. The way she figured it the only way she'd be able to go to college and not spend the rest of her life paying off loans was to join. I was heartbroken, but i looked her in the eyes and said "You do what you need to do to live YOUR life the way YOU want to, and I'll always stand behind you." She wan't used to accutly being supported in a decision because her mom is an ass, there i said it so she didn't really know how to react. See, Bailey was nothing more than a maid in her own home. Anyways before i rant, on July 19, 2011 her 18th birthday, i took her out to eat and I preposed to her at olive garden, and she made me the happiest person in the world and said yes. We haven't offically announced it yet because her mom would have pitched a bitch fit. Bailey's at navy basic training now, she left on August 10th so four weeks ago this wednesday. I accutly got a call from her last thursday, best phone call ive ever got:) So there it is. Not the most romantic story in the world but ita about the best a small town boy from millen georgia can ask for. Sorry if this got long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
