Can't Relate, But Hear Ya - Posted June 30, 2009

I'm trying to relate, we were elementary classmates and just reunited after 23 yrs apart. He lives in VA, I live in GA. We reconnected and decided to work on a relationship together, but now, I'm not so sure. The distance is doing things to me. The telephone can't hold me at night or kiss me on my cheek.

LDRs can work. I was doing long distance for years with my bf before we moved to the same city. Still together :)

My husband was in iraq for 1 year he got to come home one time for a week anywas we the only comunication we had was a phone and mail somtimes email it,s very tuff and stressful but we did it he is home now the best advice i can give is always answer the phone if u dont have a cell get one becuase they like to know they can call u anytime and keep it together work your problems out if there not that bad and always tell the the truth

I don't know how people in LDRs make it work. It's so hard to make a relationship work IRL let alone when there's a physical distance between.

Ladies, let me tell you, I've tried the long-distance thing and it is trick-y, let me tell you, So beware he isn't snogging his ex girlfriend! Just saying.

I was in an NYC-DC long-distance relationship for three years and we found that if we saw each other every 2 weeks it was enough to feel like we were still together. Any longer than that and we felt too far apart.

lol wow you know...people who are over 12 to 17 who goes to gaiaonline should never watch this lol im serious. Btw this is some bullshit video this girl has made. Because why use a webcam when everyone is such a p***y on using it. Bullshit lol. Here is my opinion...long distance relationships never work out and it makes every stupid teenager become emo lol. its true. but long distance relationships should only be for adults. Thats my opinion. if you all dont like it to bad. =)

I can understand the point your making but its completely rong for you to say long distant relationships are for adults, yes its easier for adults to hav an ldr but younger people can have them it just takes a bit more effort and saying that every teenager becomes an emo from it is actually an opinion not a fact so why all the negativity huh?

What are you doing with a girlfriend? You're too young to be stuck in a serious committed relationship.

Man up! You should be out having fun and meeting as many girls as possible. No more relationships until you're at least 25yo.

Focus on health. Focus on wealth. Learn how to dress, don't spend money on women, etc... Trust me. Do all this and everything else falls into place. You'll get more ass than a toilet seat.

Man, if I knew at 18 what I knew by 30, I would've been a hellraiser.

Son, you have it backwards. See, what YOU are experiencing is lust because you've fallen in "love" w/ the first girl to spread her legs for you. Don't confuse lust and love.

By meeting as many women as possible you'll learn a lot more about yourself in terms of likes and dislikes. Only then will you be ready for true love. There's over 3 billion women in the world and your true love practically lives next door? Please!

The same w/your girl; she will want to experience other men eventually.

You're naive to believe this "love" is greater than any other love that has ever loved before. Prepare to have your heart carved out of your chest. I'm telling you this based on what every man has experienced. You're not special.

At 18, you probably think you know better than everyone else. You don't have to sleep with every girl you meet. What I'm saying is that you have to get to know as many as possible and being in a relationship keeps this from happening.

Thank you, sweetie! Yes, I'm a dick, a creep, a jerk, an a*hole, and a son of a b*tch. And very proud of it.

In fact, when I first meet a woman, I'll tell her the truth but women never believe me. Usually after two months or so she'll think she can start demanding stuff and that's when I tell her it's over. Cuss words fly and I'm like, "Hey, I admitted this upfront."

So nothing you say could ever inflict damage.

Btw, I didn't use the word "every". There's exceptions to every rule.

Men, let this be a lesson: You don't have to tell women what they want to hear. Just tell her the truth and she'll automatically spin the words into something she wants to hear.

It's the perfect crime! I tell her, "I'm an a*hole." She's being all flirty and it doesn't even register. Then after a while when she doesn't get her way, I remind her of what I said when we first met. She couldn't be more pissed and then leaves. Perfect crime!

Vaginas are like buses; another one arrives in 10mins.

My boyfriend is from Finland, and I am from America. We've been together for nearly six months and have met in person and will be meeting again in person in January, then again in March or April, and then again in the summer.

Long distance relationships are not for weak people, and they are not for people who desire sex all the time and can't live with porn and masturbation.

If love = sex to you, then it won't work for you.

But don't speak in generalities.

Because it works for us.
