Would you ever be able to be in a LDR?
Sure. My current relationship started out as a LDR, and we eventually moved in together.
Yes, I did have previous LDRs that failed and learned from. However, this one may have worked due to how understanding we both were with each others time; like if he doesn't see me online he'll know I'm busy, sleep, or at work and vice versa. Plus, sex wasn't a big deal to us.
I tried before he only lived a hour away but we never got many chances to hangout. I have to spend more time with someone to grow stronger feelings and it just couldn’t work out so I ended it. But that was just one reason I ended it. But distance made nothing easier.
Not again. She lived about 1000 miles away here in the US. I could afford to fly her to see me or fly to see her often, so that wasn’t a huge problem. But the distance and time apart just sucks and makes building and maintaining a relationship really hard. We did it for over two years. I would not recommend it to anyone, seriously.
Long distance relationships are a time waste at best, an excuse not to form real relationships at worst. Something like 95% of social interaction is non-verbal. Text messaging is probably something like 2% that of a real, in-person conversation.
People in LDRs need to value their time and attention more.
