I answered "no" under the assumption that you meant "date exclusively" when you said "date". I just don't thin that works for most people.

It is very hard on the cars.but living together is even harder on my peace of mind.

I did this a decade ago in courting my now-wife. We met online (not on a dating site though, on a writer's site). We were 2200 miles apart. After each of us traveled to see the other, with her permission I just removed that obstacle and took up in a nearby Residence Inn to give us a chance to explore the relationship seriously, put her in the driver's seat as to when I would meet her children (then HS age), etc. I was able to do this because I'm a 100% telecommute worker. Job portability goes very well with LDRs.

Agreed! I'm a telecommuter as well and it is proving helpful in my LDR.

I did for three and a half years. I flew across the pond to meet her, and she was suddenly transferred to Egypt. Did I learn a lesson? Yes. My heart is stupid, but I would do it again.

It depends on the person.

Love is so rare. Rarer than winning the lottery, so if you find it you've got to fight for it.

But I'm quite skeptical and cynical.

How exactly does that work? Dating suggests doing things together. Difficult to do much of anything long distance except talk on the phone, text, and maybe get weird by video chat.

don't knock till you try it

@HariKrishnanM True

I put maybe but it would be very hard for me. I have difficulty with trust and a long distance relationship would be much more strenuous.

Been doing it for over 15 years...challenging, but willing to make the effort...but, I have the time and the means, which a lot of people don't. I would not recommend it...it is often sad, lonely, and frustrating.

I said I am not.

However, if money was no issue and either of us could afford the time and expense of FREQUENT travel, I could see it working for a while. I think eventually, if the relationship were to be headed toward Foreversville, the long distance factor would have to be removed.

What if your partner is a soldier or an astronaut or something?

@goldenvalleyguy Hmmmmmm.......or most time? 🙂 As time has gone on, and I hear about more and more couple doing it, I agree there can be valid reasons for some people to sleep in different beds at times. Depends on lifestyles, needs, how loudly one or the other snores, medical issues, shift work, yadda yadda yadda.

@goldenvalleyguy I wouldn't even want to share a bed full time with someone a few miles away !

The right person is out there somewhere, I love traveling or road trips, if I find my match I'm willing to relocate for happiness

@BlueWave OH, Hmmmm, am I coming to Covington for a visit? 😉

I've never had a long distance relationship but I'm open to the concept, we'd have to meet at some point I hope
