Just got in my first LDR!!! Dont know what to think!

[waitingwaitingonyou]

Ok here is the story.

 

I am from Norway. I went to Iceland on vacation. Met a great girl. I was there for 7 days and I think that she is the girl for me in my life. We like the same things, are perfect for each other..(We are both 27yrs old)..bla bla bla bla....You know the rest.

 

I like this girl alot. I call her all the time and we send text messages and talk on MSN all the time. She feels the exact same way as me. She is head over heels for me, and wants to make this work. She is very open about moving to Norway or me going to Iceland.

 

Money is not a problem. I just ordered a ticket for me to go there for 8 days in october, and also I am going to fly her here for a weekend of two. I have a great job that pays well, and it is only a 2 and a half hour flight. My questions to you smart people out there....

 

Do LDRs actually work?

How many of you have ever been in an LDR and actually forgot about the girl-guy or the girl-guy actually forgot about you?

Any tips for a rookie in an LDR??

 

I am crazy about her and she feels the same. I think this could be the girl I marry! Im not used to these LDRs....but it is working very well right now...

 

Thanks,

LDR beginner

Forgot?

 

You don't 'forget' people just because you aren't in the same place!

 

It sounds like you're doing all the right things - keeping in touch through email and MSN and phone, as well as planning trips so you can spend time together. If you can get webcams, that will help you 'see' each other even when you aren't physically together. My SO and I also used to send digital photos to each other...silly things that keep you in touch with each other's lives, like, here I am at the beach, or here I am at my sister's birthday party, or here's me after I just got my promotion...

 

Have fun with it, and be creative!
