This is another topic I hear wayyyyyy to often. Do long distance relationship work? I guess that depends on the two involved. Will they put in the extra effort to make it work? Will they take the time and patience to learn about the person before commiting? Will they converse via phone, email etc.... LOng distance relationships won't work when the effort just isn't there.
When excuses are heard like:
The ineternet isn't my life
I don't lik to talk on the phone
I just don't have the time to invest
Few I have seen and heard. No then it won't work. These are the only options when conversing long distance. I think this is a good thing actually. You actually learn how a person is, there likes dislikes etc,, The internet isn't my life either, but when it's the only means of communication outside the phone then things need to change. It doesn't have to become ur life, just have to use that option just like you would if living closer together.
Everything takes effort, you just have to decide if the effort is worth it. Another thing I find when someone says ther romantic, passionate etc... actions speak louder then words. If you can't find a way to make that special person smile while being apart to me then your not that person. A true romantic and passionate person is just that no matter how it is done. Weather it be in person or long distance. A simple hello in the morning or before bed, a just because email or card puts a smile on a persons face.
Just knowing your being thought about, in actions not words. Hard to know when it's not shown. Words are just that words, but the effort one puts firthe to see it through and shown means the world to one person.
I will add more to this as I see it or it comes to me.
