If you're planning to do a long distance relationship, be prepared to face the absence of physical touch and being on top of your game in terms of communication. If you love someone enough, you'll do whatever you can make the relationship work, despite the long distance. Otherwise, it's much easier to save yourself the drama and unneeded stress by being single until you've found someone you can be with face to face for a relationship. Personally, I'd rather be single than in a long distance relationship because I'm someone who craves physical/emotional intimacy and enjoys being their significant other around the clock so the distance would eventually drive me insane from loneliness.
I just feel like long distance relationships really don't work out all that much because there's a lack of expression from both partners when anything can happen and be hidden behind a screen, a loss of physical/emotional connection that you experience in person with someone and/or adapting into a lifestyle where you're never sure what your significant other may be doing while you aren't talking with them. To some it's successful but to many, it's a prolonged relationship waiting to collapse upon the first person who flakes out.
If i were single then i'd either conciously be taking time out or in the market one way or another.
Long distance relationships aren't for me. I like the intimacy side of things too much. Not necassaily sex, just being able to have a hug or kiss. If regularily apart from SO for more than 3 or 4 weeks and that not be a temporary situation i think i'd move on.
I'm in one right now and its going beautiful <3
Although, I keep telling my close friends to never try an Ldr, because its difficult and I dont want them to go through what we have gone through and I know them. If they give me a confidence that they'll handle it all fine without breaking down cuz of their relationship, ill let them be in an LDR. LDR's are difficult, but if you both are strong enough, love each other a lot, trust each other completely and make efforts to make your relationship work, everything will go just fine.
Also, remember instead of looking for love, look for what's not love and you'll find what's love eventually.
Oh, that's a good question.
I've done ldrs, and honestly it can feel like you're single sometimes since they're not physically there with you.
But for the right person? I think I'd be open to a ldr. As long as there's LOTS of communication, visits, and he can control his hormones and not cheat.
In the meantime, I'll just stay single- it's a lot easier and less drama, lol

Single, I think at least then I wouldn’t have to feel bad about trying to make something real happen. Unless I was loaded with “fuck you” money and could afford to take chances on people flying out everywhere.
as with many things, everything is circumstantial...
for me, if I feel the relationship is worthwhile, then that means a long distance relationship is worth the effort it requires.
of course, not everyone can handle such a situation, and in certain situations I would choose being single any day over putting effort into a long-distance.
If you can trust a person 100% then long distance is easy but if he will just cheat on me I'd rather be single. Some people are worth being in a long distance relationship with.
After a dramatic Long distance relationship, I believe I’ve vowed to myself never to be in one again 😂
I'm happy in mine but I don't advise it to others cause its so hard.
I'm in one right now. We do have problems sometimes but it doesn't matter. I wouldn't break up especially in my situation because I feel like she's the "one" so we want to make it work out.
I have done the long distance thing. I would rather be single.
Single, but that can be a bit difficult also bc I tend to fall "in like" with people pretty easily.
if it's gonna be a few months, i'll go for ldr. if it's a year or more, i'd stay single.
I guess that it doesn’t hurt to try a LDR. I would only last for like a year maybe and then get tired of it if I never met him in person.
Single as long distance relationship never work out.
I would rather be single than waste my time on someone I will most likely never meet in person.
im about to go to boot camp so its boutta be long distance with little communication
relationships are not just communication but also touching
I've always had a fascination of having a solid relationship with that of the live body species then that of the glass screen kind.
Single allows you to bang as many girls as you want, being in a LDR is simply being single but not being allowed to look for pussy.
u Single every time long distance is a fools game
