yea I was gonna tell him that, though I think this is his first relationship

he seems pretty invested

He'll only hurt himself.

Every so often it can work out. I have a German friend I met online and she met her American bf a few years back and they've been steady since.

Chasing after girls in other states.

But then again they're fortunate enough to visit each other once or twice a year so that definitely helps.

Yea, its pretty hit and miss, especially since we are still in uni, she's 17 and he is 19

Not a good idea to get invested in that kind of relationship

It’s cool if the love eachother but idk how much time they can put aside to physically be together

yea, if it were the same continent it would be better but I question how well you can know and trust someone you can not physically be with on a regular basis

That's where the power of wuv comes in

I mean how long has he known this girl?

Trust long distance isn’t impossible

I mean honestly visiting each other 2 times a year sounds like a good plan to me at this age. School is basically my life and I wouldn't need someone burdening me with theirs

If you can’t handle that then you shouldn’t be in a relationship

No, I'd just be afraid of not providing them with the attention they need, but I see what you're saying.

@Deleted User he says if he visits her in january it will have been 3 months

i get long distance relationships in situations where its hard to find people in real life

but depending on the time differences and stuff like that, some can never work

There are a lot of people though

im talking about if you maybe dont get the opportunities to go out

aaand my dry humor is already starting to bleed in here

yea tbh, if my friend actually went out and did social things he would be in a better situation

@pockypaints Tell him to stop chugging the caprisun and wake the fuck up.

Ldrs are valid

Just go for something realistic

like im extremely sheltered by my parents and have been online schooled my whole life so ive only ever had 1 real life relationship and the other 2-3 serious ones were online

lmao @Deleted User

will do

i think its pretty rare for long distance relationships to ever actually work out in the end

but then again, most relationships dont work out in general

i think t hey can only really work forever if you have the long-term goal to move closer/in together

but a committed ldr requires a LOT of trust and faith in each other

I have a friend who was in an ldr with a girl for 3 years

They live together now

It takes YEARS to develop a solid enough relationship to go visit someone across the fucking pond.

yeah, if you have the true intentions of living together in the end, then it can work
