What do you think of long distance relationships.Can they really work. talking about say 5 hours or more.
If you guys are made for each other maybe/sometimes. what happens if one of you has a busy job ..how dose that work?
well can it work?

I used to think so but I really don't think they can. When you fall for someone it's easy to get carried away with the idea that you could make it work, but even if one of you could live with so much time apart, it's unlikely you both could. If it's really love then it's inevitable you'll want to spend more and more time together. I used to think it might keep the romance going for a bit longer, which is a romantic thought in itself. What I think would actually happen is that you'd both wish the weeks away until the time you're together again. This isn't a healthy way to live your life. I'm not saying we shouldn't get involved with someone who is far away, just be sure they are willing to meet soon and relocate if you're not prepared to. Take it from one who knows, I got involved with someone who made it clear from the beginning he wouldn't relocate and I said I wasn't prepared to until my kids had left home (years away). We talked a lot about meeting, made arrangements that didn't work out and eventually argued and are no longer in contact. It's easy in hindsight to see it was a mistake to get involved in the first place. Good luck!

Long distnace relationships are really hard. Did that twice and ended up in a very broken heart. I really feel if your getting involved with one another then one of you two need to move closer to one another to really get to know one another

My last relationship was long distance I am from England and she was from Germany. Though I did eventually move to Germany to be her where I lived for five years and we got engaged lasting until our recent split. Which broke my heart. I don't think long distance relationships can work unless one of you makes the move. I enjoyed the five years we spent together but now I would like someone a bit more nearer well at least in the UK

Sheesh ! I had an online relationship with a girl from Seattle for 13 months, my plan was to visit her, we'd even talked about marriage in Vegas, well I was refused a visa so we thought about a fiance visa without even having met but the feelings and what we had in common felt so right,  so I said ok I'll pay your ticket to the UK, then at least we know what were getting ourselves into first,
well we got along like sister and brother and she left for home 5 days early, From now on I'm sticking to the girl next door (50 mile radius) much cheaper and a lot less time wasted if its a lost cause,

As an ex-navy man, that is all we had... long distant relationships. They do work.
USA for Visa's
Sucks big time. US Immigration are at the fore-front of stupidity! Paranoid fools big time. Sorry cant say enough about them, from personal experience and seeing what others have had to go through.
In comparison of incompetency with UK they are minus 100 points. UK plus100 Points!

Asian girls not only call you westerners "ticket men", a ticket out of China. but also call you ATM . as long as you push the right button . green card /citizenship and money would come
heh heh . we all know what is going on here . this sort of marriage is based on money . visa .green card /citizenship . no theses things . then no" love ".. and the " love " is fake . Long distance relationships ? chinese women are fake lovers they are no different than the ones in the "sex massage businesses in china" they all support themselves by sex.... for money, visa, way out of china,,,,, foreign men so dumb to be tricked

I went out with a girl from Germany for two years. It worked at first but when things started to get pretty serious, neither of was keen to relocate. Plus being apart most of the time started to become a chore and it was a case of out of sight out of mind for me, so I decided to end it.
It's not for me anymore I don't I think, although I'd be willing to try a long-distance relationship within the UK. I think they can work but you have to be realistic and have a goal in mind as you can't be apart forever.

I would not know until I was in that situation...however if the connection was there and felt it was right would always be willing to travel for that someone special....Think it would make it more meaningful making a long journey to see a loved one...  and would always make the time...
 ooops say that now..lol...
Well you never know...
Edited a spelling mistake ...whoops..

HI David,
both of u live like sisters and brother? well is she originally a americain western nationality?
living like sister and brother could mean 2 things to my opionion ....either her values are traditionall i mean sex after marriage or she do not have feeling for u ...or she might but not ready ....so if i feel the didtance is not the issue here.

Of course they work!
I have been going out with the girl of my dreams every night I go to sleep, the only problem is I have to wake up and face reality. Work out the price of a taxi to the moon and back! A taxi to my dreams, not even Bill gates could afford that!
The only way I can explain this is that when I was 15 I was going out with a girl of 18 and I had to go to Manchester every 2 weeks to see her, and the second week she came to me!
Did it work you ask yourselves, did I marry her and live happily ever after?
Did I F***
I went out with a Portuguese girl when on hol in Canada, with a Scottish girl when out in Italy! A French Girl, A Spanish,, Bla Bla Bla
Long distance relationships Na!! Don’t work?
But then again! Life constantly throws up examples of when they do!
