I am against long distance relationships hoping to get serious. . .avoid it if you can, except you became serious before the distance set in.

'Absence makes the heart grow fonder' - LIE. what kinda absence are we talking . . days, months, years??

'Out of sight is out of mind' - very true.

You spend only two weeks together in a year . .so it's easy to be at your best behaviour for only those two weeks. Of course.

I guess it's cool for those looking to cheat.

For those of you who are in long distance relationships or has experienced one in the past. I just wanna hear your experiences/opinions. I just got into one and its all kind of new to me and I really want to make it work.

@poster. I'm currently involved in one,but i must confess it's hard,so so hard. I and my boyfriend became serious before distance became an issue however. There are times when i just want more than anything in the world to hold my baby's hands,behold his rugged albeit sweet face,his dimpled smile, i look round and he isn't there because he's 800kms away. Its affecting him even more,but the distance has made us love each other more. We talk everyday over the phone,exchange txt msgs,chat on facebook etc.
I wouldn't advice long distance relationships if the love and trust isn't strong,and if you or your partner aren't pychologically mature enuf to handle it. You'd lose interest pretty quickly if this is the case. The key to making a LDR work is effective COMMUNICATION. U guys aren't close by so the telephone and internet becomes your only tool of bridging the physical gap btwn you two. If regular couples talk 2 times a day over the fone,u and your partner have to talk double that time. I haven't seen my baby in 7mths but i am able to cope a lil bit becos of constant communication. We talk like 6 or 7 times a day over the phone,chat endlessly on facebook and he's planning on coming down to Lasgidi next month to come meet my folks {he lives in Benue}.
All in all,its hard,buh if the love and trust is there and both sides are willing to sacrifice,and it just might work

Hiss Lagos to Benue is not distance na. Just in Naija here na im you give all these explanation. We are talking about Lagos to UK or Canada or US or India or Dubai, only then can you brag about coping with LDR. If you want him so bad, a bus or flight would get you to him that same day & it wont cost you much. Yours is very OK & so normal. Couples are posted to separate states in Naija na for work so its no biggy.

Plenty of Communication + trust + phone intimacy (if it rily bites) works just fine, Trust me, i've been in one for 7years now, Initially it was rily hard, cus then he was tryin 2 find his feet, The week i take his call thrice, i count as lucky 4 me, Plus i didnt even see him 4 three years, But after then things turned around for him(us). He started comin home every xmas nd stay 4 three months, Even better now cus he stayed 4 six months this time, What i'm tryin 2 say is U have 2 be ready mentally 2 go wit d LDR for it 2 rily work out, For me i was prepared, and closed my ears to people who kept tellin me he was gonna meet some other gals over there, Well he didnt, and he's still as committed to our relationship as he was 10years ago (i'm still in my 20s so dont think im old), He told me these magical words d day he left" dont worry about anything, cus u will forget this pain u feel right now, jus be urself 4 me and believe that you are all i have", I believed him, trusted his words and took my chance, It worked jus fine for me.

HELL to the NO! In as much as the emotions felt are the same, LDR is LDR! What's the difference? She stays in BENUE and i havent seen her in 7 months! She stays in UK and i haven't seen her in 7 months! DISTANCE IS DISTANCE! Calls, text messaging, and facebook chat are all APPLICABLE! I'm yet to see the difference! How many hours would a bus take to get to BENUE STATE? I can categorically tell you, that it takes LONGER to get to BENUE STATE frm LAGOS by BUS than to get to UK frm LAGOS by AIR!
