I've been getting lots of requests for a few posts on long distance romance, so lets talk about it.

Some people claim they will go anywhere and do anything for love. Traveling every other weekend to see each other, moving states and jobs, living with a phone in their ear and keyboard under their fingers. Others scoff at the possibility of making it last claiming things like "out of sight, out of mind," "how can you really get to know someone when you aren't living close enough to each other to 'do life' together," or even that they might find love at a distance but settle for the person thats closer at hand since life is complicated enough without adding in some improbable relationship into the mix.

So, did you happen to meet someone from another city and don't know if you can make it work? Were you blissfully bumping along in the same town and then one or the other of you got transferred? Personally, I think anything is possible, but you have to know yourself well to know if long distance is a possibility for you. A long distance relationship (LDR) brings the same set of challenges a local relationship does plus the added element of needing to resolve the issues even if you can't be face to face... <a href="http://datingandmatinginamerica.com/2009/11/11/ldr/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=datingandmatinginamerica.com&#038;blog=4053810&#038;post=872&#038;subd=klawless&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
