EliminateHRN Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Okay, around November of last year, my sister met this girl from Ireland on Facebook. They had a lot in common, they added each other on there, and started talking. They quickly became like best friends and they then added each other on Skype to video chat with each other. Anyway, even though I knew about her, we really didn't talk much on Skype, it was mostly her and my sister. However, there was a few times where I stayed and chatted with them. My first impressions was the Ireland girl was cute and pretty nice, even though she says she suffers from bi-polar. Anyway, this was around earlier this year. Around the end of May, my sister came bursting into my room with a huge grin on her face. I asked what was up and she said her Ireland friend had a crush on me. Like, a huge one. I laughed about it, but my sister made me add her on Facebook and Skype to get to know her. So, I started to talk to her a lot more. It was awkward at first, with her liking me or whatever, but we didn't say anything about it. After getting to know her a bit better, I guess you could say I developed a crush on her. At first, I thought it was only because she liked me and I made myself like her, but I quickly ruled that out after a couple of days. However, even though we both liked each other, I wouldn't ask her to be my girlfriend because of the distance. I live in Georgia and she lives in Ireland. I wasn't much of a fan of long distance relationships since I thought they never worked. However, after about a week, my sister encouraged me to ask her to be my girlfriend. I was like I'll give this long distance relationship thing a shot and see how it works. The Ireland girl happily accepted and we became a couple on June 23rd. Saturday was our one week anniversary. xD Sorry for my rambling, I wanted to let you know why I posted this topic. Anyway, any of guys have/had experience with long distance relationships? If so, how did it work? What are your general thoughts on long distance relationships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng's Old Account Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 1 - Yes 2 - It's essentially chatting with much more emotional attachment and intimacy. 3 - Difficult, the real deal will always trump; if you two can stick together, you've got something special.

[/quote] I can already tell long distance relationships are much more difficult then a relationship where you see your partner everyday. Me and her both agreed to talk everyday (for most of the day in some cases) just to keep an...emotional contact (I guess that's the word I'm trying to use) with each other. Unfortunately, she isn't able to get on Skype everyday, mostly during the weekends, so we keep in touch through Facebook and in some cases phones. We also agreed to trust each other fully. That's also very important in a long distance relationship. If one person in a long distance relationship doesn't trust the other, the relationship won't last long. It's been difficult at times, even though it's only been just over a week since the relationship. I hope we can last, I really do like her.

Kakashi Hatake Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 [quote name='EliminateHRN' timestamp='1341217665' post='5965333'] Saturday was our one week anniversary. xD [b][color=#008000]There is no "one week anniversary". An anniversary is an annual thing, bud.[/color][/b] Sorry for my rambling, I wanted to let you know why I posted this topic. Anyway, any of guys have/had experience with long distance relationships? [b][color=#008000]No, I don't have one and never have.[/color][/b] What are your general thoughts on long distance relationships? [color=#008000][b]Well, I know that it's got to be a hard thing to work out because it's hard to imagine being that far away from my girl. She's one of the reasons I get up in the morning, and without that, I'd sleep in. Literally, she calls me every morning. Anyway, this isn't about me. What I'm trying to say is that I do believe that a long-distance relationship can work out but I've never heard of one that worked out if the two couldn't physically be with each other eventually.[/b][/color] [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Account is Unplayable Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 any of guys have/had experience with long distance relationships? Yes. If so, how did it work? It was somewhat difficult at times, but overall I wouldn't say it was ridiculously strenuous. Didn't work out, but we're best friends now anyway and I'm fine with that. The distance will most definitely bog you down, though. What are your general thoughts on long distance relationships? I know they can work, I had a friend who was in a long-distance relationship for a few years and now they're engaged. They're something you really have to work very hard to maintain because there is no physical interaction, even through video calls, but the eventual pay-off is the same if it lasts.

Zimiri of the Muse Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 No good has come of it for me but I've seen it work out, best wishes to you and her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliminateHRN Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I know anniversaries are annually. It was mainly just a joke between me and her. I know, long distance relationships [I]can[/I] work. It's difficult and stressful at times, but they can work out if both partners want it too. One of my parents' friends met this girl through World of Warcraft (of all places xD), they started dating and now they're engaged. So...that gives me some hope. (Not saying I want to marry her or anything, I just really want this relationship to work.) Thanks for the best wishes, dude. I really like her (hell, I'll go as far as to say I love her) and I know she really likes me so I hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimiri of the Muse Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'll drink to that! At the end of the day there may be fights and there amy be stress, but in the end if you both really want it to work it will, it just takes work and trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had our first real argument last night. We haven't talked since, but she hasn't been on and we agreed to give each other a while to cool down before we talked again. We'll still together though as far as I know. Yeah, it does take work and trust, but we like each other and we trust each other with anything. Now, we'll just have to see if we like each other enough to make it work. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Metal Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I don't think I could do that. My girlfriend lives right up the street though so it doesn't really matter. I wish the best for you two. I hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I've only been "involved" with people from long distance who I've had the chance to be in a relationship with, but I've never gone farther than being involved. I could never be in a relationship that way. long distance doesn't really work for me. It's not because I need the physical aspect of a relationship or anything, but because I can only completely fall for someone if I know them with body and soul. That's just what I found about myself. I've met so many amazing people online who all fell hard for me in some way, but I always had to break it to them that I could never do the same because even if I started liking someone so far away, the feelings would fade so quickly. However, for others, I think long distance relationships are great. I know several people who are super happy with their boyfriends/girlfriends who are thousands of miles away and they're fighting for the next time they can see each other again. It's very sweet.
