Should I Try A Long Distance Relationship?
I met this amazing guy over spring break. The problem is that he is in Kentucky stationed for military training and I am in Virginia. To get to him is about a 7 hour drive and I am about to start college in South Carolina. But I really like him and Im not sure whether I should give the long distance relationship a shot. And if I should what is the best way to keep it going?
Well, being a situation similar to this, long distance relationships are kind of tricky. There’s one part of you that really wants to keep the relationship going because it’s new and exciting, but the sad fact of the matter is that distance is a big factor. It’s hard to really know someone if you dont’ spend more than a couple of days a month with this person. It takes both parties to be in a “relationship” and if one is making more of an effort than another, then maybe it’s time to move on.
You dont’ want to regret spending time with someone because he lives so far away. (The guy I have a crush on lives 3000 miles away : I’m in LA he’s in NY..hahah)
Since you’re starting college, keep an open mind. You’re still young (I’m assuming!) and there are so many other people to meet so don’t limit yourself because you have the “I’ve got a boyfriend I *shouldn’t* go out with this guy” mentality.
But, at the same time, you don’t know unless you try, right? If you feel he is worth the 7 hour drive, try it for a while and see what happens
Do what’s best for you.. if you’re unsure, enjoy the time you have together and leave it at that.
Good luck!
Speaking from experience, long distance relationships are not always easy. You could try staying in touch via e-mails, instant messages & phone calls. Take it slow & see what happens. As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. If it’s meant to be it will be.
Depends on what you think really. They often end up not working out, but if you can see him every so often, it’s got a pretty good shot.
there is nothing wrong with long distance relationship if there is alot of trust and love between you two then ot should not b a problem.
Don’t ever work
I had a military bf, and let me tell you, they can be sluts!!! My bf cheated a lot on me. But if you can trust him, and not get too hurt if he misbehaves, then go for it.
only try long distance relationships if
1) you have a LOT of trust in him and…
2) you can see him often
i recently got out of one and have come to the realization that they dont work, screw that ****
It is not always so bad to give things a try. You guys don’t have to actually be together as in bf and gf so you won’t have that guilt of not being able to be there for each other but keep in contact. Share things with each other and get to know each other more by talking. But if you guys really do get together…it is pretty hard. Because you guys will miss each other more and have more desires to be with each other in person and that makes it so hard. I’m in a serious relationship with my bf but I’m in TX and he is in Colorado…it can get really hard at times but we talked it through and i found out that he really does care for me because he’s willing to wait for me until we get together again.
i can’t say much but take things slow BC when we like someone…we tend to rush things BC of the excitement. good luck.
i have n let me tell you they never work
