Do long distance relationships work? How long can you spend talking over the phone or over messenger?
I knew someone that was going to get married to someone from overseas, they spent alot of time talking to each other and not having spent that much time together. Wouldnt one get kind of bored of talking over such mediums. Also, how can you truly get to know a person by speaking to them or chatting to them online?

If your mind is clear enough, you can make it work. Count backwards, it helps.
My best friend married her long-distance boyfriend of 4 years. She KNEW him from before though, which I think helped her case.
Seeing her, I know that it isn't easy. It requires A LOT of patience and determinism from both sides.

It helps reduce the risk of babies and STD's.

What about people that are not in a long-distance relationship? Don't they eventually get bored of seeing each other all the time? And those that are married?
Relationships (be it with your family, friends, spouse, SO) don't remain in a constant state...there will be highs and lows. It takes the efforts of both parties to make it work. And I feel that some amount of space or distance is healthy for all relationships.
As to whether LD relationships work...some do and some dont...as is the case with all other types of relationships. You try your best...and in the end it's whatever is in your kismat.

Phone sex....yeah baby!
I think it can sometimes be difficult to know someone ‘completely’ over a computer screen, but if you are in regular phone contact, I don’t see why there should be a problem!

Re: Long - Distance Relationships
Long distance relationships can work but only if the person you are with is not phobic to the electronic communication. Some people find it difficult to express their emotions the right way. And things can get misinterpreted and could lead to disastrous situations. As you are judging the person on what they say. You can never know the way they were saying it. Jokes could be taken as sarcasm. Serious talk could be taken lightly. It's too tough IMO. Been there, done that :p
But it can work with effort put in mutually by both parties.

**We're just about to hit the 4 year mark in a month and mA' its amazing. If you get bored talking to each other, then obviously it's going to be hard to make the relationship work. But sometimes its just clicks. One time I was stuck in my apt because of a snow storm and we talked for 20 hours straight on webcam, that was the best.
But the BEST part is picking a random country an meeting up halfway. I mean when else will you ever get to do that:)!**
Re: Long - Distance Relationships
They do work if you WANT them too..any relationship requires effort and compromise on both parts..Long-distance ones just require that bit more! It makes it easier if you meet up, atleast once a year.. (i’d make it a once atleast 3 times a year if it were upto me 
) When you do finally meet after a long duration apart, it just makes it all the more special and novel..as you’re creating memories that just arent possible through a text message or via a webcam 
So yeah long - distance relationships are possible and do work.. they just a lot of require patience on both parts 
oh and it helps if you love the person too..as if u do, you’re more likely to ignore the little hassles and frustrations that come with a long-distance relationship

People who are in a Long Distance Relationship are probably someone's other bf/gf.
Re: Long - Distance Relationships
I have heard many marriages held as a result of gyus meeting girls through internet. Do you guys really think long distance dating can be a serious business which can lead to marriage? I mean, a girl and a guy got introduced on internet, they mite have also met 1-2 times with the agreement of their families, but can guys really be serious to any girl just over internet (after having a knowledge that they are compatible etc)? Marriages are common amongst colleagues/ class fellows coz guys meet and see the girls on a daily basis and this forms a strong connection. But can guys be emotional enough to miss a girl over chat, video chat etc, obviously after knowing that they can be a good match.
Do guys only get interested while having regular interaction/ meeting with girls through physical interaction or can they be REAL SERIOUS over internet too (I mean after seeing the girl physically for a few hours and talking to her over voice chat for a few hours which could had him feeling that the compatibility is present)?
Can guys become serious for long distance relationships? I know girls usually are very emotional... but can guys be emotional and sincere when in a long distance relationship?

Re: Long - Distance Relationships
iv been in a long distance relationship for like 2 years now...its hard im not going to lie...we text everyday phone everyday....its not the same as physically being with someone...but if its meant to be its meant to be...it also helps to know where the relationship is going...as in long term

So you think you both are serious for each other despite long distance? I am particularly interested in knowing how guys feel in long distance relationship bcoz if is difficult to be loyal even in short distance relationships.. let alone long distance ones :P Can guys really feel the connection in a long distance relationship where they do not get to SEE the girl?

Presenting the Queen of Long Distance- 10yrs of LDR :halo:
i laugh at the thought tht hes now like my baby..i have seen him through highskool, college,university, graduation, first 3yrs in a job, promotions, and now going onto his second job! LOL
Frankly i love LDR we communicate so much that we can write a thesis on each other (not always a good thing though) i see him once or twice(if lucky) in a year so its pretty awrite!
i hv to confess past few months hv been hard cuz i work 20hrs a day n it gets freakin hard to handle a LDR but if i come home even at 4am from work he waits for me online and no matter how tired i am i go online and if i happen to sleep while skyping wid him he’ll jus hear me snore hehe n than leave a sweet gudnight msg n sleeps!
we both put equal efforts to make this work cuz we love each other 
MASHALLAH
