Since posting this topic I thought I would explain how I felt. I have read everyones post on this thread and traken them all on board. Well i do think they can work, yes i know it is much harder not being in same town city ect. But maybe that can work better for the relationship I have been in relationships where people take each other for granted or just spend time with each other because they can not because they want too. What i want to happen is to make that bit of an effort to see the person you like and to make every minute count when you are with them. To do things because you want to not because you can. Yes you maybe lonely at times but maybe that keeps the love fresh and alive well call me a romantic but that is my hope.............. Embarassed


Good luck Dave. Anything can happen in love if you both want something enough. Very Happy

Just wanted to know do you think a long distance relationship say of 230 miles would it work! Smile


I dated my ex for 2 years long distance, he was 120 miles away.

It just takes a little more planning and unfortunately spontaneity is rare, but it can work.

I agree with the posters in that they say that someone will have to move if things get serious, but you should cross that bridge as and when you come to it.

Pol I agree... see how things go then decide on how things will work between you both..... its subject that cannot really be thought about until you are both committed to each other and see a lasting future....

I think 230 miles can work provided at least one of you is in a situation where moving at some point isn't an issue. I think much further distances tho' are doomed to failure most of the time, no matter how hard you try.

Everyone here that has spoken of having had a long distance relationship so far doesn't seemed to have made it past the 2 year mark, for whatever reason.

Love can conquer lots of things, but not everything. Sad

Long distance relationships can work but it does require some give and take on both sides. I have had a long distance relationship but I was doing all the traveling and when it suited her. it just becomes a chore and love seems to go out of the window.

I tried 130 miles and it didn't exactly work that well. Mind you, we were both at college at the time. I ended up moving in with him and 5 years after we got together, it turned sour.

If it's really something you want to go for, then try it but don't bet everything on it.

Distance can work! It does need a lot of trust and feelings for each other but look at different modes of transport i can travel from Exeter to Edinburgh in 2 hours and it's not that expensive if you book on the net! budget airlines like Flybe cost me around £45 and the dearest flight so far £69 return! Using Voipe and Skype keeps phone costs down and mobile phone specials like O2's bolt ons and offers mean you can text at anytime and even call on the cheapo too!

I would definitely say give it your best and go for it!

No, it's not really for me. At the end of the day I'd want someone that I know I can see without having to fly or sail to see them. I used to talk to someone online from Boston, USA for over a year who seemed cool but then later she got all carried away and said that she wanted me and no one else and it wasn't that she wasn't my type, it was just that this wasn't what I wanted. She now lives somewhere in England and I think she's engaged. I was also surprised to see her in the Smiths special of NME this year talking about what that band meant to her.
