Just possibly getting into one, not sure if it can work, but she lives in the same town as my mum! Which could be interesting lol! I will give it a go as it could be good, at least we wont be living in each others pockets, and if we get on, we could try being closer later. The only thing i will miss is the cuddle and stuff as and when u need it! Love those snuggle moments after a hard day in the office!
Cool

for me it depends what you want out of a relationship. if you want to do the whole "roses round the door" thing with your partner spending all of their time with you then no, long distance relationships do not work in that scenario. If however you just want your partner go out with a few times amonth then long distance can be beneficial as you dont bump into them all the time. Also, i know alot of ppl who go for this whole "online" relationship thingy.
I dont understand it myself as it has removed the humanity from the relationship. U end up having a "relationship" with your keyboard and monitor. for me, a relationship works when two people are physically present for some or all of the time. But then its horses for courses.
Hell, what do I know anyway, I'm single and have been for years.... 2 man down UT

Don't be silly Vi!! She's talking about horses that serve food!! Silly girl!!




Just to add to Cookies views, you don't have to live that far apart either to have a relationship where you barely see each other either. Life has a way of getting in the way when you've gotten used to being on your own, even if you don't like being on your own! Confused

I couldn't aggree more. life does have a of getting in the way. The longer you are on your own the harder it is to get back into being in a relationship with someone. I feel its just the practicalities of life, especially when you have responsibilities like work and family. Its a real juggling act.I guess being a single parent does not help whern trying to start a new realtionship as you have limited time and emotional energy. You get less tolerant of the things you used to put up with and time is a big factor too. If you lead a busy life then its just as hard to make time for a partner no matter where they live. I guess that the time you do spend together is appreciated a whole lot more. I've great admiration for any ppl that mange to crack the whole relationship thing. There are many times that i hate being on my own, but there are times when i think"thank god i'm single!" I cant be the only one who feels like this, can I?
Also a point of note, horses make the best partners. My mum's longest relationship was with her horse, for 24 years, He outlasted both her partners and was the most loving , loyal and was her soulmate. And he never cheated on her! Unlike her men.

To me a long distance relationship is across the water, like in europe, america even.

To be honest if i had a relationship with an english lassie lets say i would defo make the effort to visit her, especially in her own turf. Could even spend the weekend with her, leave on a friday afternoon and return home on a sunday evening Very Happy

Close to home is always better though (CazzaBee are you taking note? lol).

ive been out of the dating game for about 2 years and altho ive had opportunities ive liked the fact that im single, i can do what i want, when i want... not that i do.. but still the thought is there..
but i still miss the whole realtionship thing, so i cant bloody win..

maybe i should get a pet...

I guess im weird, im quite happy seeing my man one weekend a month. But then there is 250 miles between us, so you just make the best of the time you do get together, and in my opinion makes you appreciate that time more than you would should you see them frequently

thats all fine as you never get fed up with eachother but what happens if you both decide to move in with eachother?my advise is atleast take a holiday somewhere for a week or so,as its longer than a weekend.
