hahaha I thought you stayed in America and your boyfriend is in Asia. Can't imagine Caloocan and Quezon City is a long distance.

With that great distance between Caloocan and Quezon City, I guess they can see still each other at least once a week or even more, or even every night if he or she wishes to. I think the only thing that separates between the two is just a bus ride away.

hi there! i know how you feel my dear because before i married my husband we have had a long distance relationship for 4 years we have only communicated through skype, facebook, cellphone and other means that we can think off. There are a lot of times that i have taught of giving up but somehow our love for each other has always overcome all the negative things that are thrown our way. it is truly hard coz there are a lot of times that you will have negative thoughts, fears,and doubts along the way but as long as you have trust and confidence with each other, you can easily overcome any problems along your way. furhtermore make sure that you have God in between you, because without Him nothing would be right about your relationship. So no matter what just always pray and ask for His guidance and preservation for both of you and im sure youll both be fine :)

I agree about God's guidance not only when we need Him, but just in general also. Praying to God will help us make more spiritually inclined, increase our awareness and help us deal with life problems in much better and calmer fashion.

Long distance relationships challenges every boundary a relationship has. Trust, intimacy and mutual satisfaction must be solids in the relationship. I believe that long distance relationships can work but communication becomes evermore essential. If you love this person, you will take whatever measures you must to keep that love alive. As the old saying goes, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Listen to your heart and you will find the answers you need.

Are you referring to Caloocan city or a different Caloocan? If it's just Caloocan City or Caloocan in Metro Manila, it's just near Quezon City - just a bus away. If your boyfriend can spare a 30 minute bus Ride to get to you, I think this will your relationship a lot.

All i can say is for you to have trust in him and keep the communications line open. I was once into such a situation, i was working in the province while my boyfriend (now my husband) was working in the City, what we did was just to trust each other and keep communicating... after two years of being far from each other we ended up to the altar, no we have one cute baby boy. I hope this helps.

relationship is based on trust and feelings if you both have true feelings then it wont matter how far you both are from eachother because love making is not love the feeling strong feeling for the other person is love and if that is strong then relationship will work.Belive,trust and true feelings will work.

You must be having a very new relationship that's why you felt you are very far from each other even if you have not seen each other for a day. Anyway, as you said that you are in constant communication with each other thru the net, then I guess your problem of missing each other is solved already. You can always blow a kiss thru the camera.

I think Caloocan and Quezon City are not too far from each other. How old are you anyway? Some long distance relationships did not work well but some really worked out. Maybe it depends on how people handle there relationship. Faith with each other is the most important component for a relationship to work. Nowadays, you may constantly communicate with him via cellphone and internet but you must do your part as a girlfriend too.

Distance is never an issue for a guy who still lives in the same country but in the same area which is still in Manila. I think for me a long distance is like you live in. A province and he is in the Metro Manila. But nowadays you can be at Caloocan and next in QC then next in Paranaque very easily. Transportation is very easy to get since its very much available now than before. There are Buses,Taxi's, Mrt's, Lrt's. A lot of means of transportation are available.I have a friend who lives in Caloocan and his ex girlfriend lives in CAVITE! Now, that is long long distance!

i have had two long distance relationships one was with a boy from maryland that one didnt work out he turned out to be a complete jerk the other one was with a man from tennessee and i am from south carolina he was a good sweet guy at first two or three times a month he would drive over to asheville north carolina and i would drive up to asheville north carolina and we would spend the day together then after a while its like he just didnt have time for me anymore months would go by and he would not even call or text me long distance relationships are very hard and it takes strong love for it to work out good luck

Hi jissecacalado I think long distance relationships works very fine if you both understand and love each other. Understanding is the biggest factor in these type of relationships. My friend also used to have this kind of relationships but she was happy as when they used to meet they used to spend quality time with each other. Unlike those who meet each other everyday and get bored with each other's boring talks and decide to leave each other and the result is break up. don't get said for this be happy thinking of that when you will meet him you will be able to spend quality time with each other.

Everything has it's own purpose... You can do it just hold on to him.... You can communicate to him every time... You can plan doing things and schedule all the dates.. But don't forget to pray... Because there's no one who can help you trough your problems... Only God can do that...

hello there, I do understand how you feel maybe because you're still young enough to handle this kind of relationship. But it'll help you a lot to be more mature in handling a long distance relationship like this. As a teenager, that is a normal feelings but when you reach at the adolescent stage that feelings might be changed.Just hang on and feel whatever you want to feel because there maybe time comes that you maybe tired of doing that.On the other hand, the secret of long distance relationship to make it work for a long period of time is to understand, to have patient and most of all to control your emotions and feelings. I hope I imparted something to you even a little.

Yes, one has to stand up and be counted in life like in a relationship, but if your faith is strong, remain resilient and take the pains in building and moving things forward, things do eventually get better. Such is life. Keep positivity flowing. Keep the faith. All will be well my friend. Wishing you the best. Take care, God bless :)

In this day and age there are Interest and mobile phones to keep in contact. In the past it took one week to get a letter and the phone calls cost lots of money long distance. It is lovely that you love your boyfriend very much indeed. I think that with lots of notes sent between you then your love and happiness will last. It is best to be together anytime that it is possible. A long distance relationship can last but your boyfriend might ask you one day to move to where he is. Good luck.

you can atleast visit each other for at least twice a month if you really want the company of each other. Video chatting is the best way to talk and see each other when you're lonely and wanted the time of each other. btw im from manila, MABUHAY !!! :)))
