Is distance a problem?

[leah]

Omg! you really like him, Its really easy to tell by the way you write about him. Go for it

[Inseriousity.]

I say it's only a problem if you make it a problem...

If you see it as one big problem (train fares, length of time taken) and you don't think of the result, it won't work. If you remember why you're doing all of this work (and yeah it does sound like you really want to try), it won't become so much of a problem...

well when i 1st read this i thought u was going to say he lives like 80 miles odd but 40 mins isent really that far tbh go for it i say mate

Well, you know the guy i wrote about the party with - it didnt happen but we still met up and what not i jsut didn't have the balls too, yet.
Well we met up today in liverpool and we had so much fun for like 7 hours, and i felt so close to him there was like definatly a huge connection.
only problem is, he lives in southport which is like 2 train journeys each about 40 minutes from where i live.
But i really feel like he is just, amazing, theres literally nothing wrong with him, hes perfect.
and well i just wanted to know, do you think long distance relationships can work?

40 minutes isn't that far....I've been in long distance relationships a couple of times.....They didn't fail because of the distance though. I was with someone for 3 years and he lived about an hour away on the train and was with another guy for over a year and he lived about 3hrs away on the train. I know someone who is with someone who lives in England and she lives in America they've been together for like 4 years now...so it does work.
If you can both take it in turns by traveling to see each other or meet half way it will work. Distance is a pain but sometimes it works out for the best because it makes you appreciate each other more...If you saw each other everyday you would just get sick of each other.....It depends on how you both feel about each other really...Distance shouldn't be a problem

It works as much as want it to work.

My BF lives 10 miles away in Belfast while I'm in lisburn but we make the effort to see each other every day.

mitch, you call THAT a distance? 4-5 hour drive, i win... lol. anyway, it depends on the people doing it, for some it works but for others it doesnt. it depends how you both cope and how many times you see eachother. imo, distanced relationships don't last long unless youre older which then you can offer housing to oneanother.

it doesn't mean you can't keep it for however long though.

I've had a four hour train journey relationship, it worked for a while but ended horribly.

distance is only a problem if you make it one.
