I met a guy online many years ago. We've become good friends and have developed special feelings for each other. Only trouble is, he's in the States and I'm here in Asia. We rarely talk to each other because the phone calls are expensive. We mostly communicate via email. It's hard & I miss him so bad. How do you deal with a long-distance relationship?

Long distance relationship is work of course. But it has a lot of risks. Many people didn't make it. You must have strong commitment and trust each other (it is the most difficult part, because you don't have enough time to know all the things she/he did). But you can overcome this by build a good and intensive communication. I used to had a long distance relationship, but i failed. I think the factor is lack of communication. But, i hope you have a better luck.

Well not many people know how to deal with a long-distance relationship because you cant see or touch them and it is completly diferent. If you really like each other i think with time you can find a solution to make the relationship work.

Thanks for the response. Really appreciate it. Yea, I guess time will tell but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything is going to be fine.

i guess you need to have a solid trust, as you're not able to see what your other half is doing. And you need to have lots of faith, enough to not make you give up on your relationship. but i believe, in the end, love is what that holds you together. if two people really love each other, no matter how far they apart they are, they'll be able to go thru the relationship. love knows no boundaries

Here's my P.O.V. for long distance relationship. Always keep the communication open and try not to fail to email, chat or whatever to your partner. Also, if you really want to push through with the relationship, invite him/her to come in your country for a short vacation or something... And to the girls, please, when you talk to your boyfriends through chat or whatever and you are inside an internet cafe, please kindly minimize your voice and don't CRY in there. it just doesn't look good.
