i tried it for about a month, didn't work out as all online long distance relationships go.
Did you meet her online or in person and then it turned long distance?
Or him... I don't know how you swing
i met her online, kind of jokingly asked her out and it became an actual thing we traded snapchat names and we chatted for a good month until we got distant
I’ve been talking to my guy for like 8 months and I don't know if I did wrong but I tried to keep the convos minimal because I want to get to know him in person you know. But we sext and stuff. Had it not been for me being more present I think we would’ve gotten distant but it’s not that much hard work
well everyone is different and if you've been going for 8 months that s really good going, you two must really get along.
Yeah we get along I guess. We’re just pretty similar. There’s not bugging if msgs go unanswered or if one of us can’t really FaceTime. We respect that we’re not gonna have our phones up our butts all the time. We plan FaceTimes and keep in touch with like small talk. We’ve spoken almost every day got 8 months. Sometimes it was actual convos and others it was meaningless snaps but we always find a way to stay in touch
No cause I couldn't handle it mentally or emotionally.
No. I would rather not invest so much time and energy into something that isn’t tangible. The prospect of dating my phone or laptop isn’t very exciting or appealing to me.
Nope, the risk of cheating is too great in my opinion
Yeah I agree on that one. But having someone to be comfortable with is good. So maybe that type of relationship can have its own rules
Absolutely open to it as long as there is a viable plan for a local future.
As to why? Because for me the most important connection is mental, i can get that from an LDR. My sexual kinks can be done trough texting to so sexually it should still be super exciting. Eventually obviously i want to just hold her in my arms every day and life together. So if she is willing to migrate to my country or happens to be in a country where things are better then mine (Switserland) then i'd consider it for sure!
I think I would if I met them before the moved for went of somewhere, but if I met them off the internet no.
Yes, I'm completely in love with this girl in Oregon, but Until I know she is ready... I can't do anything... Women choose their husbands.
I'm supposedly in one, and I don't know if it's going to work out. Besides the distance we have a racial issue.
What’s the racial issue?
I'm black and he's white and a ginger. Sometimes I can't help thinking that we wouldn't look good together because of his hair color and my skin color.
I know it's stupid, but I can't stop thinking about it.
well my first boyfriend was white and Latino mixed with brown hair but people said he was blonde and I’m black Latina mixed. Where I’m from it’s not that big of an issue because there’s no standard race I guess, we’re all different some lighter some darker but we date like whatever because essentially we’re the same ethnicity. I’m currently talking to an American and he’s white and blonde and countryish and it’s kind of awkward because I feel like we’re interracial... which is a feeling that I didn’t feel with my first white boyfriend. I think it’s because we’re different culturally. I think interracial relationships are beautiful. If he likes you and you like him, there shouldn’t be an issue, be happy within yourselves. You would look beautiful together and the genetic pool that’s your babies would have would be amazing! Lol
I would like to live in a country like yours. It seems to be diverse and that's amazing!
Yes, I think you feel a difference because he's not from your country. The guy I've been talking to is also American. He says that we wouldn't have any issue for being an interracial couple but I have some doubts.
" If he likes you and you like him, there shouldn’t be an issue..." - We do like each other but I'm always having negative thoughts about us.
" You would look beautiful together and the genetic pool that’s your babies would have would be amazing! Lol" - Lol
I hope you're right about us looking beautiful together.
We talked about having babies but I really don't know how they would look like, I don't know if they could have his hair color.
They can! Me, my sister, and my brother all look so different but share the same parents. I love being mixed because of the endless posibilities of how your kids could come out.
That's nice!
If they did, I would be always worried about them because of the bullying.
I mean bringing kids into the world that’s always a concern. I understand what you mean. I’ve had a shade of jealous girls try to insult me by talking about my skin color or say something about my hair not being “good” enough. And the comments from guys that like lighter skin girls, etc. It’s something that can’t be avoided. Luckily I’m very happy with myself and those comments just make me laugh at peoples naivety. I used to be self conscious but now I prefer my curly hair and I love my skin color. We just have to teach kids to love themselves the way they are and no bully can bring them down
And even my ex would be like “idk what she’s talking about your hair is nice and your skin glows” only dumb people agree with other dumb people
Yes, it is. I'm saying this because they would be mixed race kids with red hair. I know that at some places kids get bullied for having red hair, and if they're mixed then bullies would find another reason to bully them.
I'm glad you didn't let these girls bringing you down. I'm sure you're gorgeous and that your hair is beautiful! :)
But you're right, we must teach children to love and to accept themselves. That way they won't be easy targets for bullies.
Yeah! What’s crazy is that the girl that attacked me on my “black” features is not even white herself. She’s just unhappy with the way she looks and she tried to attack me with words that would hurt her. At the end, I’ve gone through life enough to learn to love myself... I just laughed because it shows how people are insecure. She was insulting me because she liked the person I was with and he liked me... so at the end she took a big L and looked like a big dumb bully and to this day tried to redeem herself by trying to “embrace” her blackness when her words were already put out there. I told her that she could try to find the whitest guy in the world, and that karma would give her a dark baby because of HER genes and she’s gonna have to deal with that and that I hoped she’s could build her kids confidence up when people like her try to break it down. People are just ignorant. And there’s no need to worry about red hairs and skin colors. The world is being less closed minded.
This girl is ridiculous! And the fact that she's not white makes her even more ridiculous.
I know people like her and they did the same to me.
Their words used to hurt me, but now I would just laugh like you did. And you're right, people who don't feel good with themselves need to hurt others to boost their ego. It's really sad.
" And there’s no need to worry about red hairs and skin colors." - I know I shouldn't be thinking about these things, but I can't help it. He's the opposite of me, he's not worried about this at all. The world is being less closed minded.
"The world is being less closed minded." - I wish I could agree with you, but that's not what I see. :(
I just think the world is intermixing and sometimes white people dont worry don’t worry about certain things because it’s not something that fronthandedly affects them. Like I was telling the guy I’m talking to that he wouldn’t want to be treated like a Mexican and he asked “how are they treated?” All I see is how they are insulted and treated like they don’t belong in the US and it was kind of surprising that he would ask me how they get treated. He’s not blind and I know he’s conscious of what’s going on but I also understood that his group of friends and where he grew up was predominantly white and small town so everyone treats everyone with love and acceptance.
Maybe people are mixed where you live. But that's not what I see happening. Racism and xenophobia are still alive and white people aren't afraid of showing their true feelings.
You're right, racism doesn't affect them, so they don't worry about it. It's easy to ignore a problem when it doesn't affect you.
Yes, Mexican people are discriminated in the US. And now with Trump as the president, things are worse for them.
hahaha Someone then would have to work as hard as I would.
Yes. And so far that is what all of my relationships have been so far
No because it takes away from actual human connection in my opinion
LDR, at least that's a real relationship with a real person.
If I could meet them in person then had to continue online/ long distance for some reason. Then sure. But I can't talk to someone online continually.
No because there's only so much you can do in an LDR it's more exhausting then anything
Totally, but I would have to break it if they had no plans of moving to the country I was in.
Not immediately moving, but eventually moving.
No, I can't do it. Tried it, ended badly. Face to face is really important to me
I wouldn't recommend it at all as someone who's experience this. Once someone in the real world, close to them comes along your nothing to them anymore.
I met my current boyfriend on facebook. I did virtual dating before I met anyone.
I wouldn't *choose* it, and those sorts of things need consistent feedback if they're going to mean anything. The worst part of any LDR is random long periods of radio silence where your mind drops to the worst case scenario.
To add to that, concrete plans to close that distance might actually work wonders by virtue of making the whole ordeal more "real".
Yeah, it's possible to love someone through internet, and it might workout as it's hard but if you both stay faithful and loyal, it so workout no way!
