I am proof long distance relationships CAN work. I had been seriously dating this girl for 1.5 years during college and she really wanted to spend a semester abroad. I was (and still am) crazy about her, but I couldn't go abroad because of certain class issues. Anyway, here are the stats:

-4,973 miles (see below)
-we didn't see each other during that time
-6.5 months

Quote:
Distance between Ithaca, New York, United States and Athens, Greece, as the crow flies:
4973 miles (8003 km) (4321 nautical miles)

Initial heading from Ithaca to Athens:
northeast (54.7 degrees)
Initial heading from Athens to Ithaca:
northwest (310.1 degrees)
(kewl global distance calculator here: http://www.indo.com/distance/ )

Well, we are still together going on 5 years! It was for a while, but we would IM each other when we got the chance (I'd get done with breakfast and she'd be finishing up dinner) and we wrote to each other a lot. After our semesters were over, I was able to fly over there and we took a 2-week trip around Greece and Italy. THAT was a fiiiiiiiiiiiiine trip imp: But like I said, still together and still crazy about each other

-how far were u both apart? about 3 hours

-how much did u see one another? maybe one weekend a month

-how long did it last or is it lasting? it lasted 11 months

it just doesn't work out...the long distance relationships with me...cause i started developing a crush on another guy...it wasn't fair to him so we broke up

Daydreamer, did you start having a crush on me? Is that the reason you broke up with your guy?

I feel horrible.


My longest long-distance relationship lasted one week. She lived in Minneapolis, I lived in Winnipeg. That's about a 7 hour drive.


Heck, I figured I didn't need to spend all that money on gas...

my girlfriend and i were 900 miles apart from West Point, NY to Greeneville, TN. She is going to school in Albany, NY now so we are only about an hour apart. we see each other about every other weekend now where as before we only saw each other 1 every 2 months. we have been dating for 2.5 years now. she's the best thing thats ever happened to me and would never give her up for anything. we made it for a year without realll seeing each other so we can make it through anything.

I was in a long distance relationship a few years ago. I met her on the internet. I talked to her for 1 year on the phone and on line.

She lived Upstate NY which was a 5 hour train ride away from me.

We went out for 5 months, and we saw each other every 2 weeks.

We broke up because it was really hard...with the distance and all

Driving distance from Eugene to Ann Arbor 2457 miles.

I see her for a few days every month when I fly home. I'll be home for a few days over Super Bowl weekend so that'll be nice.

It's only been 3 months but it hasn't been so bad. I like having my space alot of the time but I do miss her.

80 miles (about 90 minutes driving)
1-3 times a month (really depends on the month)
1 year, 2 months

Laurel and I started our relationship like this, and it'll be another 7 months before we'll be living closer together. After that, we'll be MAYBE 15 minutes apart. (She'll be starting school in Seattle at that time and I live very close). We've had nothing short of an amazing relationship thus far. . taking it slow and enjoying everything about each other. When we live closer together we'll have to see how that changes things. . .if at all. Personally, I can see our relationship only getting better . . . we don't see each other that much as it is. . . so even if she's busy with both work and school, I KNOW we'll still have more time together than we do presently.

I'm really happy for all of you who have worked those things out. I've been busy wasting my time in love with some girl way too far away to be liking that much. She says she cares for me a lot, but I'm finding that so hard to believe, she completely means everything to me, but she's not the kind of girl that would be able to handle a relationship like that. I'd have done anything for her.
In conclusion, I think that relationships like that really depend on the both of you to make it work, if either of you don't want it enough, it's a waste. I'm just bitter at the world and am sick of trying to convince myself that things work out in the end. I wish i could hate her.
Ok, OT, sorry.

I lived in Germany 2 years and we waited for each other all that time, maybe dumb because whe I finally did get back, and she was then overseas and I got to Texas she didn't want me there anymore-it works and we were determined but, she changed and came back a different person. Very sad-if you can do it good luck-

I'm not a big fan of the LDR's anymore.

I was seeing this girl from Toronto and we'd try to meet up every 3 weeks or so.

LDR's are hard because I had my own life here and she had her's over there and the bottom line was that my whole life didn't revolve around her so it didn't last too long.

Plus, when a guy needs it, he needs it. I hate feeling bad about scamming on the DL so I'll never be geographicaly close to my huns.

- we're not that far apart (only an hours drive from St. Aug to Orange Park)
-at least 2-3 X's a week and on the weekends
-we've been dating since 5 february 2004 and even though its only been a few months i love this girl with all my heart
- the only downside is (and i dont even consider this a down side, but...) that her rents are not used to her having a guy over as much as i am, but oh well for htem i lolve this girl and i am not giving her up because if it wasnt for her i would not even be around right now to write this post so i will be with her for a long time to come!

My long distance relationship with my girl has been the best thing that ever happened to me. We got together about 1 month before she went to college 130 miles away (2-21/2 hour drive). With trust, these types of relationships are the shit!!!!

Let me break it down:
- See each other every week or 2, aka you have time do hang with friends, do what YOU gotta do
- No pressure to hang out all the time if you just wanna chill out by yourself.
- You get more shit done cuz they're not around to occupy all of your time
- Keeps the relationship new. Seeing my girl again after 2-3 weeks is like seeing her for the first time again.

We been together for 2 years, 4 months now. Longest we've been apart is 3 weeks, and the longest we've been in the same city has only been like a month or 2 over the summer/winter cuz she has to take summer classes also lol!!

-how long did it last or is it lasting?
currently at 3 days, lol

-comments?
reading what you all have to say has moved me believes in rather this would work or not, and it's quite upsetting. she said she likes me a lot (we dont believe in the word love for dating) and she also said that she won't expect me to be there every week, and that she mentioned she is low maintenance, lol... well.. only time will tell i guess
