How many of you in here believe in Long Distance Relationships?
YES!! :great: But only for a short time. :grin:
If I didn't believe in them, I would still be single. :biglaugh:
I am in agreement of course with Sister Mom. If it is of God He will bring people together no matter where they live. We are able to see how God brought to lives that were miles apart together. I is amazing when we look at what all God worked out in our lives.
I believe in long distance friendships... *cough* elona... *cough* :angel:
i have lots of friends that dont live in my state... it makes traveling fun!
I believe in long distance relationships. I'm in one town and Stevebert works in another.
When we were going together, he lived on first street, and I lived on eighth street.
I have lots of long distance relationships...all of my friends have moved away. Haha.

I love having friends all over the globe! It's awesome!
But if you're thinking long-distance romance... been there, done that, it's tough... but not impossible.

Nah, that's when Tricia threatened to introduce us and I refused, and he would have refused if he had known what she was up to. However, we did start talking a few days after I returned from that trip. :grin:

If there is no one near you that is compatible, you have to import (or export) ;)
You never know who may be (in)compatible at the meetup! :thumbsup2:

Just haven't found anyone who would have been willing to put any effort into it... :smirk2:
Do I *believe* in long-distance relationships? Ummm... of course. They exist. Do I believe they're all right? Nope. Just like not all short-distance relationships are right. A relationship is a relationship. If it's meant to be...
:sing:
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
But if their hearts are somewhere else.....can they ever realize it was meant to be....
Well, if their heart is somewhere else, then perhaps it *wasn't* meant to be?
Several years ago, I had a crush on a television reporter (female, of course, and charmingly so,) who said it would never work out between us, as she didn't do long distance relationships. Now, we lived 100 miles apart, a distance I drive more than on many occasions for work each year. At least it was a nice way to decline interest.
I think each party in 'the relationship' needs to agree on terms..you can have a relationship that's not romantic in any way..you can have a relationship where it's 'romantic' being looked for from one part, but not by the other, and then, the happy instance (one would hope) where both parties are looking for a romantic relationship...yet, still there is no guarantee that they are each "the One" for the other.
Note: the first paranethtical statement I took from Robert Heinlein's book "Starship Trooper".

I started talking to Sister Mom on Dec. 27, 2007. She came up I am thinking around Jan. 15. Before I ever laid eyes on her personally ( I had seen her on YouTube and she had sent me pictures in email) I knew that I had fallen in love with her. When it is right you both will realize it.
Well Bro.Dad , Thats exaclty how I feel for this girl. I have never seen her in person yet , however she is coming up here at the end of July , but anyways I have seen pics of her and have talked to her on the phone and she says she really " Loves Me" and I feel the same exact way towards her. I just dont know how my family is going to take it because they dont belive in love at first sight and they dont belive in Long Distance Relationships however I really really LOVE THIS GIRL ! :lol: , So now I have to find the best time to tell them , and find out how to tell them.
If God is in it, everything will work out.
Sister Mom is GREAT wife, a great step mother to my kids as well as an awesome Nee-Nee to the grandkids. She is much a part of the family. My oldest son (who now Pastors the Church I started in Morganton, NC) says it is amazing how Sister Mom just fits in like a piece of puzzle going into the right spot. When God does something it will work out right.
I met my hubby in Indiana...i was from Oklahoma. 700 or so miles seperated us. We dated/were engaged for a year before we were married...and the hardest part was not seeing each other for more than 3 days or so here and there. Right before we got married, we saw each other for a week..then it was adios till the wedding..3 months down the road. HARD.
Lots of prayer, phone calls, emails, letters...anything to keep "close"...
long distance can work...but it's hard.
I know that it is hard. but I am willing to work through that , If something is worth having its worth working for .
Great attitude, Brother!
And, though I not only am a Grumpye Olde Bachelor, and even more so, the Grumpyest of the Grumpye, good luck with the situation, and God's will!
John :waving:
Thanks Bro, Keep us in your prayers though b/c we could use all the prayers we can get. :lol:

BOL I like the way you phrased that... hehe *takes a bow* :hypocrite:
(heh heh I misspelled that at first as "takes a boy" silly fingers...)Yes, absolutely right - the more long distance friendships the better! and equal close proximity friendships are good too... more the maryer... make new friends and keep the old, silver and gold and all sorts of friendly sayings

did I type that? :hypocrite: :hypocrite: :hypocrite:
lol
silly name... have to make use of it sometime.... being as single as I am I've had to clarify so many times when I introduced myself in loud settings that the name is mary but I'm not
I liked it, too! :thumbsup2:
John :waving:
that's our mary. i thought it was an intentional play on words. and it's a lovely name. it rings. it's musical.
kris, however, is just a statement. maybe that's why some people call me kristene. they think it's more . . grown up?
i'll stick with kris in that case. *smile*
as for long distance relationships, i'm thinking distance = time and i'm still good with the farther the better.
Well I Think I am going to stay with this girl because we both keep praying and asking for Gods will to be done in our relationship and in our lifes and God just keeps on blessing us !! :biglaugh:

for you or Thi?? lol
I am all for long distance relationships thy are good but thy are HARD ( I would know! All my dating relationships have been long distance) but I am looking for one that is in a closer proximity
* maybe with J.... A ..... :hypocrite:*
Well I hope that works out for you , beacause I have dated local girls and I have had no luck with them at all. , So I think I am going to stay with this one. I just have to figure a out to tell my family about her.
honesty is the best policy. in all things. especially when it comes to introducing people to your family. but you don't have to tell everyone everything.
don't tell them that you have fallen in love with someone you have never met in person. tell them that you have someone for them to meet.
however, be totally open with your mother or father - whichever your closer with. ask for their honest opinion in return. and listen to them. they aren't trying to hurt you, but trying to keep you from getting hurt. so hear what they have to say.
you might be surprised. they will pick up on stuff that you don't expect and they might be ready to meet her already.
if you are really in love, she has become part of your vocabulary, part of your conversation, part of your life. your family already knows that. truly.
so. be honest. be careful. be attentive. listen.
see what God does.
and yeah, amanda, that's for me and Thi! :pwink:
I am really in Love with this girl ! , Im affraid to tell my dad which is the only parent I have because he dont belive in Long Distance Relationships.
Be sure you're both willing to run back and forth between two places for the rest of your life for all the things that come up that necessitate visits.
I Believe that we both are. She is even talking about moving out here , to be close to me . :lol:
Hey everyone everything is going great !
Edit: Please watch the all caps and all bolding.
Hooray! That's awesome! :clap:
I hope all goes well when you finally get to meet her!
Thanks I appreciate it !
In response to the thread title, and without reading any post or the subject all I can say and will say is...
NO
Great avatar pic, Lady Roxy! :thumbsup2:

Not I, said the spinster
I thought spinsters didn't believe in relationships at all!! ???
but on another thought...
I might reconsider and begin to possibly consider the possiblity of a LD relationship....but it really depends on the girl...
I'm not sure anymore I'd go for a long distance relationship, especially not an online dating relationship since I've been burnt before from online relationships with supposed Christians (non dating and boarderline dating). I'd have to really get to know the person and have good confirmation that they are who they claim to be before I'd consider a very serious relationship.
upc guy: how are things going? :-)
