Should I date someone that lives about an hour away form me?

I live about an hour away from my boyfriend; it has its challenges, yeah, but it works out pretty good. I think as long as you continue to communicate throughout the week you should do great - spending weekends together is awesome.\nWe've been seeing each other for almost 2 years now. \nGood luck!!

If he's worth it, do it. My boyfriend lives 3 hours away from me and we're only able to see eachother once a month (maybe twice). If I didn't like him as much as I do, it wouldn't be worth it. I won't lie, it's hard. But I feel like our relationship is strong enough to get through the times we can't see each other. It also depends on how old you are. If you're too young to be able to drive yourselves to see each other, it's probably not the best idea since it'll make it harder. But if you really like this guy and you think it's worth having someone 3 hours away, rather than 3 minutes, do it. Sometimes long distance relationships help you to get to know each other better. When you're not together, you can only talk to each other. You don't have the physical stuff (even if that stuff is fun) to distract you. You have this opportunity to get to know each other very well.

Find a boyfriend a bit closer to home.

If you guys live a long distance from each other, and still are able to see each other a few times a month...it's worth it.  It looks like 1or2 of you are attempting to make this relationship work by seeing each other.  Doesn't that mean anything?  The key to a long distance relationship is trust, communication, trust, and communication.:-)  Don't let the distance fool you into believing that it won't work.  You two keep doing what you're doing...it will work.

Lucky you.  Sounds like you have the perfect ingredients for a great relationship.  You already know eachother very well and you already have a great time together, so go for it!

If you truly love him and him, you, then I would find a way to see him.  Talk about the both of you moving to a more central location if possible.  Thats really not that far a drive but can be a hassle.

Long distance relationships CAN work!\nMy cousin's friend met her husband while she was touring in Europe and they emailed each other and spoke on the phone for another two years before they saw each other again.\n8 hours distance really isn't that much in comparison and I think perhaps he's just being a little pessimistic and lazy.\nSpeak to him, and if he's agreeable, set a time where you see each other maybe twice a month... find a place that is halfway between your houses and spend a nice weekend at a motel or something.  If it is true love it will work out eventually where you both are in the same place at the same time.\nGood luck! :)

distance relationships are generally bad unless your trust level is extremely high. where and when do you fit the quality time. I am sorry you may want to move on at least until the distance becomes a non-issue.  :(

i would definately date you. send me an email at theinfamous_eric@yahoo.com . more than likely you live far away, but its worth a shot.

If he'll be living close by, I'd suggest setting up a time once a week or something for you guys to spend time together, and don't let ANYTHING get in the way of it. Phone calls work too, but nothing beats actual physically being together.

'I would agree with everything Mindy said. For I too am in an identical situation to her. There's nothing wrong with meeting people thro' the internet, and if you then fall in love, distance becomes just a hurdle to overcome. In fact, meeting and falling in love thro the internet may be more real because the natural male/female urges that can sometimes get in the way, initially are not there. And so, you build up a strong friendship first. And that is the foundation of a strong relationship.So, definately, go for it

I met the guy I'm dating on the internet. He lived 12 hours away and wanted to come and meet me after about 5 months. I was in college and my professors and friends told me to have him come to the school to meet me. That way there were plenty of other people there and they could give me their opinions of what they thought of him. Never meet anyone alone where there are no other people or anyone you know. It's been over three years since that day and we are still together.

well i moved in with my boyfriend after knowing him for 2 weeks. But the bad thing is that i moved 100 miles away from my family. But we are still together and been dating for 2 years!  So you are the only one that can make that decision. It could work, but then again living together so soon could cause problems. I say take a chance and go for it. Oh yea and I was 17 when i moved out!

Age is mind over matter: if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. The distance isn't that big of an issue, people make much longer distance relationships work but if you don't have a job to pay for gas, it could be a little problem seeing her as much as you'd want to. If her parents know you, they should know you are a respectable person to date their daughter despite your age. If she is someone you care about, give it a shot.

No there is nothing wrong with that keep your long distance relation but you always need to complete it with a local physical contact relation... That will work...

IT can work as long as both of u do ur parts. You both need to knnow where u stand. No cheating on each other. And just give it some time and you'll both eventually be together, always. 2 hours is not a long distance at all..So it should be kinda easy. Every so often she can visit u and u can visit her...good luck
