We’re both 23 and met through a reputable dating service. We talk 3-4 hours a day on the phone and have for 2 months. He is visiting me in a couple weeks and if all goes well with that (and I can’t see why not) would you continue a long distance relationship if you were me? I’m about to graduate college in May and don’t know where I’m moving but it’s not here! I live in Missouri and he lives in Texas…what do you all think?

How Do You Deal With Having A Long Distance Relationship?

I am specifically asking about my situation but I’d like to know how you deal with it. I know a similar question has been asked but mine’s a little different.
I have dated this guy for 4 years and a couple weeks now. We started dating as freshmen in college and now I’m in grad school in UT and he’s finishing his 5th year at our old place in OH. Needless to say, that’s really far away. My biggest problem is not being jealous when he goes and hangs out with friends until 2 or 3 am on the weekends.
So how do you guys cope with being really far away from someone you love and how do you cope with different social lives? We’re in our early twenties and plan on getting married at some point but for right now we’re looking at a LDR of about 5 years. Please don’t tell me it’s stupid and won’t work because I’m looking for encouragement and helpful ideas.
Thanks!

Whats The Likeliness That A Long Distance Relationship Can Work?

My friend is dating a girl he met on myspace and see’s her maybe twice a month when hes lucky. In previous relationships, he normally needs the gf to be living close by him. Both of them are starting college in a couple weeks, she won’t even have a car and hes low on cash. I dont want to see him hurt but the chance of this relationship surviving sounds minimal. So Im wondering in this case scenario, will the long distance relationship work?
p.s. they’ve only known each other for a month
