Do you believe in long distance relationships?

There may be a love online? Guys, girls can you fall in love online and be loyal to each other?

I have been in 2 LDRs in the past, and my takeaway from those experiences is that unless there’s a solid plan to close the distance then it won't work.
People often blindly enter those relationships without any real plan and just get so caught up in the connection that the aren’t covering their bases.
After a while, the occasional meetups aren’t enough, and that’s assuming those couples even have the flexibility and finances to make that happen. You run out of topics since you’ve covered everything and aren’t creating memories together.
Plus missing them so bad, not being able to hug or touch them, it weighs on a person. LDR isn’t meant to be a long-term, go with the flow situation. So if there’s no plan to live closer, then it’s doomed from the start.

Until you spend time together, in person, you don’t know your partner. How can you fall in love with someone you don’t know? Sometimes, people in these situations are so desperate to be in love that they rush in and claim to be in love before they really feel it.

I had an LDR with a girl on here once!
(Well it wasn't really a relationship, but I said hi and she said hi back)

The we broke up 😔
(Well we didn't really didn't really break up, she just didn't respond after I said hi again)

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Lol. Sorry I'm bored

[Asker]

Hahahha you had to try texting again, maybe could work out

[WanderingLoveWizard]

You're right. Persistence is key!

[Asker]

Thank you for the answer!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, if both couples work on it, things should work out, for a long distance relationship.

[Asker]

I agree, thanks for the answer

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thank you, Best wishes :)

[ProbablyClueless]

I do, yes, but it's probably not a preferable arrangement.

[Asker]

Thanks for the answer

Long distance relationships are for people that don't really want to continue a relationship anymore but still want to keep up the charade that they are.

[Asker]

Maybe that’s right, thanks for the answer

been in many.. some worked...

[HannesK]

When you say many, did they stop partly because of the distance or is one still going on?

[legalboxers]

@HannesK technically one is. But Im getting tired. I knew them since 2010 in a RP game I play. To me, I prefer LDRs since I dont like the scope of the people in my general vicinity. They seem to have issues regarding ethnicity and other factors. Whereas a long distance they are more down to earth. Granted you dont know if they are cheating, but thats a chance you take
