i've been in a long distance relationship for about 4 years now.
its pretty tough, i gotta admit. sometimes i think it would've been better to just date someone closer to me.

but finally after 4 years apart, we're getting a place together at the end of july.
we went to different schools but now i'll be moving with her.
i went to FSU and she attends UGA.
its about a 5 hour drive. (like 400 miles give or take)

sometimes i'd only see her once every 2-3 months.
but if you guys trust each other the relationship can work.
being able to survive thru a long distance relationship is mentally stressful.
my gf and i never fight or argue when we're together, but we seem to argue alot when we talk over the phone. its not that we dont like each other but the distance puts a noticeable strain on the relationship.

when i was in high school, i had this awesome gf. but i ruined the relationship because i did not learn how to give a girl space, and i "crowded" her too much. (btw, this is the only girl i regret loosing because i feel like it was totally my fault)

ever since i lost her, i learned how to give a girl her own space and i learned how to live my life without needing someone always there. this helped me alot in dealing with a long distance relationship. i guess i kind of taught myself how to get along without needing her there all the time. As long as i knew i loved her and she loved me, that was enough for me. Although i know my train of thought probably wouldn't fly well with alot of people, but it works for me. i'm happy just knowing i'm with her and she loves me.

the most important thing is a long distance relationship is trust.
if you guys trust and care about each other enough to wait, then it can work out. being apart just makes the time you're together more special.


and remember to send lots of emails and letters like stated above.
taking the small time out of your day really shows that you care.
