LDL

It did for me - we spent a year on different islands, talking daily, visited a couple of times for a weekend. When she graduated, she moved to where I was, we got married ... still married 26 years after first meeting (15 Dec 1991)

had a fellow artist.. who sent their short stories to me to publish.. she lived in the next state.

NOT too far away, far enough. then she became a subscriber.

THEN she became a pen pal!

we USPS every time we replied to each other, back and forth...

then she gave me her phone number.

then we talked on the phone racking up the charges for hours and hours and hours and...

finally we be all like, dam this is expensive.


then like i said "i think i'll drop by for a weekend, what'cher address and shit.


then we spent weekends together for two years.

then i moved in with her.. then we got an apartment.

then we lived together and did work and shit and stuff and things.


then.... we moved to another apartment... (oh we had sex long ago already.. i figured you all would assume that accordingly.)


lived and loved and had fun... then we moved to yet another apartment then i was all "we need to write each other off on our taxes like for reals.. so i was all like one st. patty's day, wanna make this legal.. i slipped on a ring i had for like forfreakingever and never had the nerve to ask her so the ring was my pocket companion for ages.. and she was all like 'yeh sure about dam time' then we got drunk and lived and loved and...

here we are today.

Here is me advice according to my experience
NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER involved with someone you met online

Not for me, she could've been anyone, but for two friends of mine it did.

My ex Ellie refused to do it with me. She stayed in NM and let me go to AK alone. She made a good decision. Sucks.

so far two friends of mine that i met on spring.me are still going strong and that was a couple of years ago. ive heard of some that dont work out too.

This isn't my experience, but two close friends of mine are now in their mid-30s and got together at like...16 years old online in the mid-90s on a Simpsons chat group. They maintained a long distance relationship for five years before she emigrated to Canada. Now they've got two kids and are the cutest couple in the universe.

And this was before face time, when long distance was super expensive, and when the internet was slow as shit. It doesn't always work, but it certainly -can- work.

It did. 3.5 yrs.. separated due to different reasons.. but it was amazing while it last

Sure in super rare situations I don't see why not. Never did for me though

My buddy met a girl from Romania and they have been in a long distance relationship for about 7 years I think, my buddy would to to Romania once a year to see her. She just moved to the states and they are getting married in September. He proposed to her last year when he was in Romania visiting. They seem to be coming along nicely, however, that isn't to say it can't go tits up now that they are living together.

Depends if there was a strong relationship BEFORE the distance got in the way

I just realised you were asking for experiences
Well, I had one LDL for several months. It was in the days of snailmail, which was quite romantic. But a real problem trying to be faithful
After that we lived together and split up after a few weeks (or less). So wasn't worth it

Now that I am older, I enjoy LDL - absence makes the heart grow fonder, as they say

Didn't work out for me, she went back to her ex

Long distance relationships are tough. I was in two serious ones, but neither one worked out. However, I am sure they do, sometimes.

Ask them for there facebook page and look at there friends list

I believe that they can. It depends on who's involved, but you have to be realistic.

LDL ? Long distance Lust ?
