Is long distance love possible

I mean the relationship starts off long distance, you never meet, and you feel like you love the person.... could it be real love?
(not about me, a friend thinks she's in love)

 

Yes, I believe it can be..Love can be anywhere. The thing with online is, you get to know that person pretty well..but, don't rush, get to know each other even better, if you are feeling rushed into it, then it's not worth it and it's not love..take your time, learn and feel each other..Love is so beautiful with the right person, whether they're where you live or 2000 or more miles away. One thing I've learned if it's meant to be it'll happen, just trust it, and give it time to nuture and grow. Like a beautiful flower, in time it will grow, and become very beautiful if treated right, with lots of love. Good luck and peace

 

no it isn't about me

 

That is lovely..really spoken well

I'm not sure how I feel about meeting someone online. I met a guy online over 6 months ago,and he's a great friend. I do love him and I care about him very much. Here lately though,things have seemed different. I was supposed to meet him for the first time,soon...and now,I'm not sure what's going to happen. It's hard to maintain any type of relationship online or long distance....and sometimes things fall apart.

 

oh sorry, i didn't read the part about the friend..ok, then take "you" out of it and put your friend in there, and i still say the same thing

 

I didn't see the part about your friend either...but it all still applies. I do think you can love someone you meet online but it can be very hard to maintain.

 

aww I sense some sadness..I'm sorry, maybe in time things will go better for you, if you need someone to talk to, you can always pm me.. I wish you lots of luck and love

 

I hope my love will be like that flower, too....
My love is far away from me...and I don't know if he will ever love me...we met online and we have already meet each other "live" once.... but still can't understand what he feels.

 

Short answer- No.

Long answer- No, so forget it.

 

awww Libertine so pessimistic..you never know, my best friend married someone that she met online, i see it happening alot..it really depends on the people involved..I think true love is worth finding whether it be here, or somewhere around the world. oh and btw nice picture in your sig.

 

Eh...ok, maybe you're right.

 

Definitely
My best friend is now living with her boyfriend that she met online actually.
I know lot of people that have met online and have now a great relationship that lasts in the years .

 

I think this could make an interesting poll....
Coming Soon to the Relationship Forum:
Long Distance Love Poll

 

Duck's gotta point there.

 

I personally feel, that you can't know someone enough to really love them unless you spend time actually with them.

 

Yes, it is possible. I will be meeting the love of my life whom I met at this site in the first or second week of June.

 

Well, if you get to know them online and fall in love with them or so you think and then you meet and really think ahh wth was I thinking, then yes, that really wasn't love, but..what if you find that person who has all the same interests as you, and you just can't go a day without talking to them, you know what they look like, you talk to them on the phone, and they make you feel so good, that you can't wait to meet them, and you talk for a long time the only thing you really haven't done is physically touch them,..i think when you do meet them, then you will know. if it's right and if it's love, i think your heart just knows tho, if it's true or not..and if it's meant to be..but I understand what you are saying Duck

 

i hope long distance love works......b/c my love just left for a year for a deployment to afghanistan....and i miss him so much and i can't wait for him to return into my arms....he hates it over there...and can't wait to get back here and out of the army for good......

 

Hey Sister_Soul , sorry to hear your boyfriend has to stay over there, but believe me if it is true love, it will work

 

I agree with Velvet, and I think what Duck means is that if you meet someone online there is the danger of dishonesty. That is true, but I think if you chat to someone over a long period and maybe talk to them on the phone or through letters, and both are serious, you get to know each other so much better than any other way. Usually it goes like this: boy meets girl at a party, in a pub, through friends, whatever,...they meet a couple of times - they get together. But how well do they know each other at this point? Don't you think that you know each other better when you chat nearly every day for, say, 6 or 12 months, before you meet? Of course, you can not know if the other person is being honest. But you don't know that when you meet someone either, so I don't really make a difference.
I met my boyfriend online and we were chatting for almost 6 months online or on the phone till I decided to meet him. I went over there and it was like I imagined it - or better even. He was the still the same person I talked to for so long, and it was just perfect.
In a few weeks time he will move to Austria for me, we are planning to spend our lives together and he is the first guy who I really want to marry and have his children. So, in my opinion long distance relationships DO work if both are honest and not pretending to be something they aren't.
