Advice?

[Riotsword]

Okay, I met this really cool girl over the internet. We've hit it off really well and we really like each other. But the only problem is, she lives in Canada and I live in Ohio. I know how iffy long-distance relationships are... does anybody have any advice as to how I should approach this?

Re: Advice?

probably a man. demand confirmation via a picture of her holding a sign with your name on it.

honestly though, long distance relationships SUCK. granted, you don't have an ocean between you and her (like I did), but it still sucks. and if it gets serious, that distance starts to hurt.

they can work out though, but only if one of you ends up moving near the other one relatively soon, or if you meet up semi-occasionally.

Believe me, it's a girl. I'm looking at her webcam now as I type this.

Re: Advice?

I was in a long distance relationship for many years (TX to CT). Unless you are 100% commited to the person, it will be very very difficult to maintain that relationship.

My advice: Make damn sure she's worth the effort, time, money and potential heartbreak.

Ask to see her boobs of course.

What's wrong with the honeys in person at your doorstep or school?

Come on, I'm not all that sympathetic to online relationships...

Re: Advice?

People usually discover that long-distance relationships don't work when you meet someone local, and then they or you later move away, ie. to different colleges, or possibly one moves to a different state for whatever reason. Long-distance really doesn't work if you're a touchy feely person, someone who needs physical human contact all the time, because you'll probably cheat on her before too long.

I say if you think you can handle it, go for it. The other question is, how old are the two of you?

Re: Advice?

I once met a girl on the Internet who lived in Canada and we hit it off and she turned out to be a man. True story. Stay in the real world, that's my advice.

Re: Advice?

Long distance relationships don't work unless you have the ability to move near that person within the next five months.

I've been in a few long distance relationships, and I recently just got out of one. It was also my first long-term relationship (10 months)

I would just stay away from them, unless you can move really soon. Because chances are, either you'll become extremely emotionally attached to her or she will to you, and either way, the other one of you will be pulling away.

I've never had any good come from any long term relationship. It's taught me a lot, and hurt me a lot. I rarely got to see them, so I would just sit there and stare blankly at a wall most of the time, becoming robotic when I wasn't online with them.


I would stay away from it, but long-distance relationships can work out. Can.

Re: Advice?

Move to Canada.

I'm seriously considering it. This decision actually has little to do with her. For a long time I've wanted to, and since the 2004 election I vowed to move to Canada, so...

The other question is, how old are the two of you?

Well, I'm 20, my 21st is on May 5, and she's 19, 20 on May 10.

Long distance relationships don't work unless you have the ability to move near that person within the next five months.

Well, I could if I got money, a driver's license, and a passport. And the driver's license is optional.

Re: Advice?

...You're almost 21 and you don't have your drivers license?


Does she know this?
