steve10 Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Hi people. I have a question about long distance relationships. Here is my story. I met this girl a few weeks ago and we have been dating ever since. We are both in university and in our early 20's. I have never felt this way about a girl ever, and she is different from the kind of girl I usually go for. I am really falling for her and it couldn't have came at a more inconvenient time. She finishes university in a few months and is moving back to her home town, which is a 2 hour train ride from my town. I really want her to by my girlfriend but I'm scared about what will happen in the future when she leaves. However, I feel if i leave it too long without asking her out she will think I'm not interested and move on.. What do I do!? I don't know if i would be able to handle a long distance relationship. And if we do decide to become a couple what happens then. I still have 2 years of university left. Has anyone been in a long distance relationship for 2 years? Any experiences or advice would be appreciated!
zetkin Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Well, LDR are hard, especially for those who do not know each other long enough. It seems more applicable to couples who have been together for quite a while by then. But no one says it's impossible. I think first thing you should do is ask the girl about her opinion on this question. I think she will give you more necessary information than people here))) Then you'll be able to make your decision accordingly...
ADF Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 LDRs are almost always a bad idea. This is especially true if both partners are very young. Add to that the fact you haven't known each other long. Let's face reality here. The odds that someone you meet in your early 20s is the person you'll end up with are extremely small. Unless you two can find a way to close the distance between you, you are likely looking at a relationship fraught with anxiety and stress.
sweetjasmine Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 A 2 hour train ride really is nothing, IMO. Some people have a 2 hour commute every single weekday. I'm in my 20s and have been in an LDR for almost two years now. 12 hour train ride or 2 hour flight. It's not impossible.

Me and my partner are over 4000 miles apart, that's an 18 hour trip from door to door. If you believe she is worth it then give it a shot and see what happens. They say the greatest regrets we have in life are the things we did not do or try... I have been in a 2 year LDR - I have written some stuff about that on some other threads.
