Long Distance Relationship
Can long distance relationships last? Does "absence make the
heart grow fonder" or is it "out of sight, out of mind"?
Long distance relationships can work but not forever. If you are
trying online dating there is a good chance you may be faced
with meeting a special someone that lives in far away. Many
people have met this way and dated for a while and gotten
married. They eventually had to compromise and figure out where
they would live together.
If you are going to try long distance relationship, you have to
make some effort. You need to keep in contact, reassure each
other, share and plan reunions with enough time to satisfy your
needs for closeness.
"Out of sight can lead to "out of mind" if your reunions are
further apart than what can satisfy your needs. You need to
reassure each other and if you begin to develop two separate
lives, relationships, and interests then the relationship is
doomed.
How easy and affordable is it for you to travel? Do you have to
fly or is it just a car drive away. These are things you need to
think about. Eventually you will need to meet in the middle if
the long distance relationship becomes serious.
