communication is a very powerful tool to keep a relationship alive...keep your communication open & going on no matter what...don't let a day passed w/o saying anything to each other...thru this she can feel more secured and thus will have more faith in the relationship...

Depends on if its a good or bad relationship, well either way both could still last long, but some pepl have been together since highschool and are married, and others break up after a week or two, it all depends on if the relationship feels right or not

for me. love is sacrifice, understanding, and caring. if couple have these kind of characteristics, their love will last for ever.

Hi AJ,\n\nThe most important things in any long term relationship are honesty, kindness, a good sense of humor and a willingness to be there during the good times as well as the bad.  That said, the first thing that attracts me to a guy is his smile and the way he carries himself, with confidence but not too cocky or over the top.  A guy who is clean, dressed appropriately and who has a pleasant demeanor and makes the first move conversationally will get my attention and that of most ladies out there.\n\nBTW: Any woman who would value a man for his wallet alone is in the same league as a man who values a woman solely for her looks, both types are players and ultimately bad news.\n\nGood luck and best wishes from bookyone :)

Thats a good question. i think the most important thing is that they have to treat me with respect. I dont wanna be in a relationship where im giving 90% and hes giving 10%. it has to be equal. Next i think is personallity. for me, he has to be funny, caring, responsible, and loving. After that is physical features. Since im kinda tall i want a really tall guy. I would like it if he had nice eyes. He doesnt have to be cute but thats always a bonus.Oh and he would have to have the same intrests as me so we have a lot of things to talk about.

The most important quality is communication.  If you can't talk openly with your man than nothing else matters. With communication comes honesty and trust.

Seriously, the only real solution is to make plans to be together at some point if you want it to last.  Otherwise, it's just bound to get difficult to keep the flame alive.  So, as long as their is hope of being together in real time at some point, then you can keep it rolling.  Otherwise, it will fizzle in time.  \n\nMeanwhile...e-mails, phone calls, video chats....to keep the love alive.

In terms of stability, one of the most important things in any partnership is an underlying friendship. That is especially true in marriage. There is nothing that creates more stability in a marriage than for the partners to be best friends and to fully respect one another as such. Being lovers in addition is simply a bonus. =p

Humor - a guy has to make me laugh, and be able to laugh at himself, or at least not take himself too seriously.  My boyfriend is really funny, and everywhere we go, he can make people laugh...even angry grocery store clerks.  Intelligence is equally important - including overall knowledge of what's going on in the world, politics, and also problem solving skills, objectivity.  Caring about other people is also a big one - compassion and eagerness to help others by volunteering or just helping someone with directions.  And with all of this, he's got to be "manly" - as stereotypical as that sounds, I like a guy that isn't too emotional, is physically strong, knows how to fix stuff around the house, and helps me do things that are easier for him - like carry heavy luggage, etc... \n\nI just realized that I've described my boyfriend perfectly...so I'm suddenly very happy to realize what I have!  Thanks for asking!

Trust, (Love), Respect, and Companionship are the keys to a healthy relationship.  An initial "spark" is a must, but in the end a relationship will not survive if it does not have TLR & C.

I agree... Communication is the best.. How does it make you feel.. Do you have  the desire or passion...\n\nDo you make it interseting and fun... \n\nAsk him, it only gets better after that..
