Find someone else to date.  Or just immerse yourself into your group of friends.\n\nAnd who says long distance is impossible? I'm in a long distance relationship right now and it's working out great!

I started a long distance relationship a long time ago when i was 14 and we lasted 9 years. We broke up when we lived together but i'd say that everyone is different and since you have already lived together its plausible to say that you will find it hard, very hard in fact but keep at it hun, if you love each other as much as you say then you can find a way to make it work.

In my opinion, I would think that both of you would have to accept the concept of "long-distance relationships" to begin. If one is thinking "long-distance" and the other is thinking "he/she will come visit me" but he/she doesn't, then that will be a problem itself. Secondly, I believe you both have to want the relationship to work out bad enough to where the distance doesn't bother either of you. Again, if one is feeling incomplete because the other is not there, then maybe you two should spend more time getting to know each other. Lastly, communication is key. If you say you're going to visit him/her, DO IT. Don't come up with eXcuses as to why you couldn't make it. That will prove whether or not you want it (him/her/the relationship) bad enough. Sacrifices will have to be made, and if one or neither of you are up to the task, then what is the point in being in a long-distance relationship?\n\nHope that helped!

long distance never works!!!!!! \nHe could fill some needs that can make you feel good but.......I wouldn't expect a completely truethful, honest or a real relationship out of it......at least nothing truely more then a friendship with possible benefits when u see him.I wouldn't get too emotional about it or you'll end up dissappointed

From personal experience and I also have friends trying to make long distance work. Its sooooo hard! No matter how much you like or love that person its nearly impossible, especially since you both live in two different states. Have you ever heard of the expression, The right person but the wrong time. Dont hold each other back.

Long distance relationships require commitment from both parties. Maybe you should call her or send her an e-mail, snail mail just to let her know that she's on your mind and that you care.

If the two of you have decided to persue a long distance relationship, then don't give up.  Confront her, and discuss your feelings and fears.

it depends how much you like each other. if you think things could work out then talk to him about maybe going on hols together.am from ireland and i fell for a girl from south africa last year, everyone told me it wouldn't work but we e mail each other every day and now both of us are taking about moving to london. i don't know what your situation is like but it just proves that long distance can work

Usually long distance relationships are best kept long distance.  If you decide to move closer, kept it an hour or two apart to see if the relationship can handled it.  And if it last a year, then move to the same city.

The hardest thing in a long distance relationship is trust. Keep it open and honest. Communicate often but not daily. Send cards and pictures alot. If he needs help financially and you can afford to help him save money set up a small college fund for him and save it for when he can go to school. Or if you think he would use it wisely send it to him now.

well actually there is. the good side about long distance relationship is you'll both get to trust each other more and that it would test how much you love each other. and the best part of it is when you get through this, its a never ending bond between you. as long as there is no sidelines while each one of you are away.\n\nthe bad news about long distance relationship is that it doesnt work for everyone. maybe for some but dont be so sure that he/she didnt make out with someone else. loneliness is one of the most devastating feeling that can destroy a good or even a perfect relationship.\n\nbeen there a couple of times. tried it 3 times with the same girl but still it didnt work. and i assure you we were really both inlove that time since we were still in highschool. if you total it up, we were loving each other for 10 years but the distance and loneliness killed our relationship. and mostly its my fault coz and i admit that. sorry.

You think a 3 hour drive is a long distance relationship? Try being 10,000+ miles apart... My finacee' is in Hanoi, Vietnam while I'm here in California. \n\nIt is VERY tough to have a long distance relationship. It requires tremendous amount of commitment to each other. You are your girl will be tested every day on how strong your bond is. \n\nThere's an old saying that basically says to let her go and see if she comes back to you. That should be the first thing you do to see if your long distance relationship will work. \n\nGood luck to you!

well to develop a relationship with the person who is just 2 1/2 hour far is not a difficult thing.u can make relatioship by chatting daily or whenever u like on phone or on internet chat,and then u may meet several times.\nwell if u like each other u can make from any far end than ur distance is not too much.

I went out with someone who lived in Spain when I was living in Ireland, I am now married to him and we are about to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, so yes, long distance relationships can definitly work, you just have to be prepared to work at them!!
