Have you met someone great online, or in person and they live in “long-distance” territory?
You think he could be “The One” and want to make it work, but you’re not sure how?
How do you make sure your online love really is who he claims to be?
When is the right time to have the “would you ever relocate” talk?
What happens when the “honeymoon phase” is over?
Or you run out of things to talk about?
What’s the best way to handle it when you have your first fight?
Whether it’s across the state, across the country, or across the world, long-distance love can be exciting and fun. But it comes with a specific set of challenges you’ll need to conquer if you’re going to take it to the next level.
In this episode of The Dating Den, Marni and Randy Lee give you their unique (first-hand) insight and some great tips on how you can take a long-distance relationship all the way!
Dat’neL,s raise the bar! The problem is that our Christian faith demands too little of us (believe and be assured of heaven) instead of what it should (believe and transform the world through the power of Christ).
Im I an LDR right now! We live 400kms apart in Australia. He is 38 and Im 42.
Ive done LDRs before, along time ago I was in a relationship with a guy who lived over 2000kms away!
LDRs are hard. Especially if you are a little insecure and keep asking yourself “Maybe they are cheating” etc.
Communication is the key, and my boyfriend and I communicate every day for hours in the evening and at various points during the day. Although, due to the remote area he lives, we cant Skype or do Face Time because the service in the remote areas in alot of Australia is not good enough for video streaming etc.
But, talking about important things is really hard to do via FB Messenger or even worse, text!!
You just don’t get that “Loved” feeling as you do in person.
I quite often struggle with feelings of being disconnected from him.
Being open and honest helps dramatically and not being afraid to tell him how im feeling, especially if im feeling down.
But, so far-so-good, we seem to be going along well. We have talked about the move and I want to live in the country so im cool with moving to him. Its a big step but sometimes you just have to follow your heart!
Also, just to add, like Marni and Randy mentioned, the “Honeymoon” period does kind of fade out and the texting becomes a bit mundane. Talking face to face has no real substitute!
When only talking to him via text gets like this, you start to feel like the relationship is fading out….
Stick with it and follow this awesome advice from Marni and Randy! They are spot on!!
Thanks guys, I love you so much!! 🙂
The man I’m dating is in Japan. We met in person before he left and are trying to work it out. I know that sex is extremely important to him(and me) but I can’t get to visit him until the fall. I’d be there for 3months. Am I crazy for thinking this could work?
