well to develop a relationship with the person who is just 2 1/2 hour far is not a difficult thing.u can make relatioship by chatting daily or whenever u like on phone or on internet chat,and then u may meet several times.\nwell if u like each other u can make from any far end than ur distance is not too much.

Don't 'be a card', and try to rekindle a burnt-out fire - by sending this bum a greet or gift ! [That's at least 5 to 25 dollars saved !]\nLet West be West, and East remain East - and do not waste ur time, imagining that this 'twain shall meet' once again !\nJust forget about this soul-less guy, and move on with ur own life : There are plenty of nice, decent and thoughtful men still around - for u to pick and choose one from !\nCheers !

It's the nice comfy sweatshirt thing.  You see, in moving 1/2 way across the country, he had to give up his home, the folks he casually said Hi to everyday, his favorite pizza joint, etc.  He's lonely at his new place and has decided he wants friends.  Instead of letting them develop, he wanted some already instant made.  Well, there you are.  He already knew you, etc.  \n\nI had this happen to me.  Yes, he's interested.  Yes, you can have a relationship.  However, with everything being new to him now (but him learning it later on) that there will come a time when he doesn't need so much attention ... and he may develop into the guy you knew when he was in town.\n\nI wish I could say "Go for it."  My problem with trying it out is that he really does need to stand alone for a little bit, so you aren't the sudden substitute for his lack of companionship.  It gets pretty draining and depressing being both a person's newfound companion but also his blame when he feels he needs other friends.  You don't need that.\n\nGood luck!

Get to talk to him more. It never hurt to take some time off and talk about things u might have in common.

That 100+ miles is roughly only a 2-hour drive. It's not like you can't spend weekends together and chat regularly by phone, email, IM, etc. Of course, if you have conflicting schedules that keep you from getting together physically (and I'm not just talking about sex), then there may be a problem. You need time to be intimate, too, and to touch each other. One of you may need to move closer to the other.

if you feel confortable, get each others phone numbers. \nYou can talk to him and see what he is really about. \nI personally met my boyfriend of so far 2 years online, we talked online for 2 months, and things have been going perfectly by now. \nIf you decide to meet him, make sure you know enought of him and feel comfortable. Bring a friend along for safety

It all depends... are the schools in the same town, is it elementary school, or high school, or college... but the most important thing is that you trust each other enough to not see each other all the time. I know a lot of people who have had long-distance relationships, and most of them have worked pretty well so far. If you think it will be hard not to worry all the time about him being around other people, then it might not work out. Of course, I might be getting too complicated if you're only in elementary school or something.

Hold Up!\n You met this guy online how long have u been talking to him for? \n\nIf you ever choose to meet anyone off line all I could advise would be to not travel alone, take a friend and meet in a public place like a shopping centre.\n Your friend doesnt even have to be with u but they can watch u from a distance. U have to be very weary. And only meet him when u feel comfortable. \nIf u dont wanna meet up keep dropping excuses he will get the hint1 Becareful :)

I've done the long distance thing..  You two are doing everything right in my book anyways.. lol.  My advise is to stay busy with friends.  That way the time will go by faster.

Post the same question in "relationship" category. But you can, however, make a friend in motor sports by buying them a race car. I'll take one for sure.

Spice a date up a little. Do something different. Show interest. The fact that he is farther away from other people makes it more difficult for you to talk to him and interact with him. But make a date for both of you to get together.

Find someone else to date.  Or just immerse yourself into your group of friends.\n\nAnd who says long distance is impossible? I'm in a long distance relationship right now and it's working out great!

Friendship is a beautiful thing and Love comes in many shades!  Since the two of you don't live close your best option would be to just continue being cool and see where it develops.  Both of you will continue to discover interesting things about eachother, and mutual love will blossom!  GIVE IT TIME! You've got so much of it! Good luck!
