Long distance relationship

Well basically i have just entered a long distance relationship and feel stronger for the guy than i have done for anyone before. I am in year 13 and so have a-levels this year and he is on a gap year. We dont live a ridiculous distance away from eachother- about 2hours by train/driving. Im worried that as i am unable to see him all that much he will get fed up of being a relationship with me, although he says he wont. Im scared of really falling for him and then getiing hurt because it doesnt work. Do people have any suggestions to keep a long distance r.ship exciting and intimate? Or good places to meet? An ideal middle place for us would be to meet in London. Obviously we text, talk on the phone etc a lot, realistically we will spend a couple of weekends with eachother a month at least until the summer. Thanks! x

It sucks, but it's doable. I'm in the same situation, though the distance is much greater. As for not wanting to get hurt... if you are unwilling to take a risk, you'll never have anything amazing. And one thing: do not dwell on the fact that you don't live near each other. No point in thinking about something you can't do anything about. And I'd suggest getting a webcam. Cheaper than phone calls, in the long run, and you can see him every day.

(Mods, can we have a 'long-distance relationships' megathread PLEASE?! This is getting unbearable...)

Long and short of it is, I've been in a LDR with my boyfriend for just over two years, with me living in SE and SW England and he living in SE France. Has he got fed up of me? NO. Have I got fed up of him? NO. If it's meant to be, it'll work. End of.

(I mean what I said about the megathread.)

Meep!

You can work it. I've managed to for the past couple of years, and during term time, my bf and I are over 200 miles apart. However, the difference is that we live within 12 miles of each other during holidays. If you're strong enough though, you can do it.

It's do-able. I've been worrying about my LDR and A-Levels too, but even if it's just communication such as email, phone or MSN everyday then it should work. I had a few minor arguments with my boyfriend about it but we figured it out.

For the love of god please put this in one big thread! Just like Angelil said...

To the OP, it will be difficult but if you want it to work you have to let yourself go and trust him. I always like that quote that said "love is giving someone the power to destroy you and trusting them not to".

Good luck
