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.

As I've previously stated, long distance relationships are VERY difficult to maintain, however, they are NOT impossible.
Yes. Meeting, obtaining the physical is crucial for a healthy balance of any relationship.
Silver has already mentioned that her relationship began in person before she moved away. She established a physical bond with him prior to her leaving.
I can understand her wanting to continue with someone who she already feels a connection with...so long as what they share is mutual.
I have to admit, though, that it requires ALOT of sacrifice TO maintain a long distance relationship, and few are successful, unfortunately. However, it still is NOT impossible.
There are many couples who've successfully met through Internet and are happy. Yet, fact remains that the physical is essential FOR lasting success.
