Hi Silver,

I just need advice about how to handle being in a long distance relationship and how to keep both of us happy.

Beyond the emotional connection thing you have for this guy, what is going on deep down inside of u that is preventing u from finding a guy to date in yr own city?

i'm curious to know, because i don't understand the long distance relationship thing. i mean why have a long distance relationship if u can find someone nearby who would be a good BF?

The way i see it, good, relationship-worthy guys are not an endangered species-- they can be found close to home too. It's not necessary to search hundreds or even thousands of miles away to find them.

Also... the only time i have seen long distance romantic relationships work is where a guy leaves for military deployment and leaves his wife/gf behind... (in other words they met and had a relationship in person prior to the seperation in distance).

I never seen one work where someone met someone else over the internet. From what I have seen of the internet type.. they seem to fizzle out sooner or later, if they are not able 2 meet in person.
