The whole concept of a long distance relationship comes with many issues, have you had one, or would you consider one? What's your thoughts?

Yes, I would. I've been in a few LDR in my life, most haven't worked, but 1 did. It's not easy whatsoever. It takes time, dedication, patience, communication, and commitment. If you think you'll meet each other, then go for it, but if you know in your heart that it's never going to happen, it's best to be upfront and honest about it, otherwise, nothing will thrive. If you feel otherwise, and you both make the efforts to be with each other, I don't see anything wrong with it. This is the new day and era in which we live. Some don't believe in it and some do. I have all kinds of friends that I've never met in different areas. But, romantic relationships...I need the whole enchilada when it comes to a romantic and committed relationship. I need the physical, emotional, mental, and verbal. Sexual is normal, but it's not everything. The other 4 are main components to a relationship with me. I want someone I can actually reach out and touch as well as talk with. I want to be able to share my life with this person, on and off the phone. If a person's still in this LDR and you know it's never going to go anywhere, it's best to cut ties, as someone or both will be hurt. They'll be hurt either way, but the longer it goes without anything happening, the worse it'll be. You can always remain friends if you can handle that with feelings intact, but most times, that's too painful and doesn't work.

Interesting , so what happens when a person cant give you that due to distance, do you just become besties ? i guess both just have to accept that fact, its got hurt written all over it.
 
I agree with the above.

How desperate would someone need to be for that? It's just a glorified pen pal. I already have online 'pals', I don't need any more.
I think it's a little unfair to call someone desperate because they can't find their girl next door on your patch, it's a big world, some people just want to embrace different cultures, and who knows it just might work out, good luck to them

I have to agree with the fact that it doesn't always have to do with desperation. Like I always say, you never know where you will find your match. As long as it wouldn't be an LDR for long and someone is going to move, that wouldn't have anything to do with being desperate.
 
I would do it. Some of the sweetest, and most interesting people I've met, have been online.
I've definitely caught feelings for people that live far away (I have them right now).

I think there are greater odds that the person that's a right fit for you, lives somewhere further than just your town.

I would be willing to make it work, or at least give it a try.

I agree 100% on this.
