With respect to a long distance relationship, when is it ok to try to close the gap a little by moving closer?

Usually long distance relationships are best kept long distance.  If you decide to move closer, kept it an hour or two apart to see if the relationship can handled it.  And if it last a year, then move to the same city.

If you are sure that the love is true, then no amount of miles should keep you apart. Either she or you is going to have to make a move toward starting your life together. When you love someone, making those kind of changes is worth it.

Keep the communication lines open.  I know it's difficult maintaining a long distance relationship.  My first long distance relationship didn't work.  My second one did.  I married the second one and 3 years later, we're still very much in love and happy.  Don't forget to pray.  Put God first in your lives.  The rest will follow.  God Bless!  I hope your relationship will last forever.

My boyfriend lives 3,000 miles away.  It only works if you both really want it to work.  But eventually someone has to move.

How far is the distance?  It doesn't mean that he IS seeing someone, just means he is either busy, trying to let you down easily or maybe he is seeing someone.  If you aren't together, then he may feel it's ok even if you don't.  Are you seeing other people?  I would suggest telling him how you feel and see where things go from there.  Long distance is hard and unless you are both committed, it won't work.  You need a lot of trust for a long distance relationship.

Chalk it up as a life experience, and move on. Long distant relationships seldom work, especially, it would seem to me, ones between two different countries. It is possible, I suppose, but brothers and sisters seldom hold hands in America, that would be more of a European thing. Really, you two live so far apart, how is it going to work out anyway?

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.  :(

Yes, you need to give him some distance . Maybe you need some time to think about your relationship with him. You don't want to be stuck in a relationship that is never going to go anywhere. IF you give him space,and if he really loves you than he will try to make things better the second time around.

No you shouldn't be concerned.  In a relationship both people are going to need their space once in a while.  It is wise not to rush into things you might regret later.  It will blow over.  Good luck, God Bless.

Distance can suck royally, but if you two made it work before you can make it work again... I understand that after being together you don't want to part, but if he has to move back then he has to and I don't think you should let distance get in the way of your heart. It's only another year then you're done and free to move over to Ohio with him.

Well you need to really decide if you want to be with her-possibly forever. I didn't sound like you wanted to move where she is, Why can't she come to you? If either one of you REALLY love one another,one of you would be willing to make the small sacrifice of moving. Now she is wanting some time away from the relationship,she got tired of waiting. If you now are realizing that you were taking her for granted-then show her. Actions speak louder than words. I hope this all works out for you and if not,then maybe it just wasn't meant to be.=}

Long distance relationships are never an easy thing. The only way they work is if the two of you trust each other completely. It also depends on how well you know each other. It's a bad idea to go into a long distance relationship early on. However, once your bond is strong enough, time away from each other makes the heart fonder.\nIt's harsh, but if you can't trust her, then it's not going to work. \nBut when you do, it'll work out. If you truly love her, trust her.\nIt'll be a tough 6 months, but you'll pull through.\nHope it all turns out for the best...\n:)

That depends on how you feel about this person and how much you are willing to put in the effort to make this work. A lot of times distance can make the heart grow fonder but too much distance can really get stressful for a couple and being together physically is an important part of any relationship. I think couples need to spend time together and be with each other. However, if you feel that you are dedicated enough and they are dedicated enough you could make it work.  Where there is a will theres a way.

it all depends on how commited you are to him. long distance relationships aren't easy. talk to him about it. be sure you cover every possible situation. and KNOW exactly how you feel about him. it takes two to make a relationship work.

complete openness should already been present before a relationship should have started. Too often we rush into things for many reasons not taking enough time to get to know one another. then we get together and wonder why it doesnt work out. love isnt compromise its about love and acceptence. trust and honesty. he pushes you away means he has none of what it takes to be a good understanding loving caring mate. sorry but I say respect yourself and you can do and deserve better.

You dont know. But thats with every relationship. We take a chance hoping that whether close or distant relatioships will work out. If the two of you are really commited then it will work out. So take a chance! It will be a learning experience
