My Dilemma: Long Distance Vs. Short Distance Relationship. Which To Choose?
There is a girl who I have loved since childhood. But she moved away, far away. Although we have been in touch, never in a relationship have we been. She is coming back to my town for christmas, only to go away again to college. I am going away to college as well. Now should I start a long distance relationship with a girl I have much in common, or a close distance one when I go to my college. I can always see her after we both graduate.. unless she finds someone else… What do you think is the best option?
Long distance relationships are hard and they do take a lot of work but they are worth it if the two people involved really care about eachother. I’ve been in a long distance relationship for 4 years now, he lives in Germany and i live in US. We see eachother about one month out of the year. It takes a lot of communication, trust and honesty so if you both can do that then you are off to a good start. If you are thinking about just getting into a relationship to just have one then a long distance one may be too hard. Some people think that they dont work because cheating can happen, but remember that cheating happens to couples who see eachother everday so its not just distance that plays a factor. Talk to your friend and see what she thinks because it does take two people. If she says yes and you both want to have a long distance relationship, then invest in webcams so you can see eachother online. Also if its going to be a big phone bill sign up on SKYPE so you can talk pc to pc for free. Email me if you have more questions or need more ideas. Good luck i hope things work out for the best
follow your gut, not your heart.
If you are meant to be together long term, you will find your way back to each other. The best compromise is to remain long distance friends – talk to each other, support each other, but don’t expect a committed, long-term relationship with one another. When you both have graduated and if you are both available, you can re-establish the romantic ties. If you become just friends long-term, that’s a great thing. Boyfriends and girlfriends come and go. A true, loyal friend is forever.
At first I was going to choose short distance but I noticed that you’ve known the long-distance girl since childhood. You should go for that one tho. Tell her how you feel when you see her next. Write letters to one another or e-mail while you guys are in college. Visit her when you can. Hopefully that will work out.
Best wishes.
I hate long distance relationships. Between now and when you two can stay together, brief dating experiences are a good idea.
well honestly long distance relationships dont really wrk out unless u can break away and get to see her every once n a while or however many times u want too its just that in a long distance realionship u HAVE too trust the other person for it too work cuz ur gonna need more than jus love to make the relationship wrk
distance no good. short if your feelen it.
TRY IT BOTH
YOU HAVE ONLY ONE LIFE
Talk to her now, right now, and ask her what she thinks about a long distwnce relationship. I’d suggest the long distance one.
If you really feel it strong for the one who would be long distance then thats the one you have to try with if she wants that too…but be aware you might really have to try, long distance isn’t easy and it takes a lot of communication. I know for sure that you can date someone who lives round the corner, and it might seem easier but if real feelings aren’t there your only going to think about the girl you actually love…and the easy solution won’t seem like fun at all. Then again I’m a woman, I think with my heart, men tend to be more practical
