Is it wrong that i want to take a break from long distance relationships?

Look I'm not trying to over think this I have a guy that I'm currently thinking about buuuuut I'm having a problem with distance. Yes I'm use to online relationships but I really wanna have a chance to experience physical touch and love I mean hell my own father started treating me like a woman by opening my door or letting in a store first. I was so shocked I didnt even know I was supposed to be treated a certain way.

Idk maybe I should just take a break from long distance relationships and look for one close by.

Long distance relationships get lonely, and feel so unfulfilling for me after a while regardless of who the person is and how regularly we speak or how much we try to make it work. There’s more to a relationship than long distance can offer for me personally. (I know that’s not the case for everyone). But, being able to share experiences in person with your partner is wonderful and the best way to get to know them. Sometimes it’s hard to come across someone’s flaws when the only form of communication you have is through text/social media. It’s usually just how they want to be interpreted, but in person you’re able to learn their quirks and habits, routines (not just what they tell you, but what you see), whether you’re truly able to tolerate certain behaviors they have by actually experiencing them, and experience how they treat you. Not just what they’re saying they would do, but seeing for yourself first hand if their words match their actions.

@Stark Yes its the best way to know them. I have had very long term relationships for years long distance but once we moved together I really learned new things

@Stark This! I think people give themselves too much credit on line and wind up being the polar opposite of what they portray in cyberworld which is fine but it won’t keep a person interested very long.

Yeah do it.

Online relationships are easier to get into because the anxiety and fear of failure is just so much less severe. You can just start talking with randos and if it works out bang relationship. Buuut then there's all the shit that comes with LDRs, not to mention lack of physical intimacy and sometimes people just wanna cuddle or get laid or whatever.

Also there's the complexity of in an LDR you don't really know how someone lives or displays body language or if they fart in bed or if they leave a sink full of dirty dishes or -whatever-. That stuff matters an incredible amount.

And the secret of the world is that there's compatible people everywhere. The human race would cease to exist if we couldn't find people to have relationships with in our immediate areas.
@CountScrofula well said :p

I've tried both and you do just miss that physicality of being in a relationship.

Some people can go without it...I need it and it sounds like you do too. If thats the case you need to do whats best for you.
@JacksonBlue thanks it's just I never had it like ever in my life and I do want it.

No do what you feel is best for you ldr's are difficult I was in one for a while with my ex before he moved to be with me and I felt really lonely because of the distance.

Not judging anyone, it's just that I don't understand long distance relationships.

Why not date somebody local?
@Keepitsimple I am thinking about because they are 1hr away from my place

An hour isn’t bad, more than that it becomes a chore after a couple of months with the driving and time.@xXAlternativeblkchicxX

Good idea. Those are probably standing in the way of you getting the real thing.

Maybe an open relationship could help.
Ending everything is the alternative.

@MartinTheFirst why not 😂 seems selfish to be with someone long distance and don't allow them to be happy with others 😂
Relationships should be committed only with realistic circumstances.. Or with strong feelings.

There is nothing wrong with that. Long distance relationships have their own set of issues. When you meet up with someone only periodically you only know a certain side of them.
You are young and deserve an in person relationship if thats what you want. I would argue that its best to experience that first for sure.

Course it's not wrong. The real world with real touch is the way to go. There's not even a comparison. Best of luck.

Yes. You should never even consider it.

Not until you've seen my dick 😑
@MartinTheFirst what mushroom?
