how often do long distance relationships work out?

<p>if 2 people who barely knew each other (had only a few conversations in person), but they had huge crushes on each other, but now live in different countries, how likely is it to work out? would they move to the country their partner is in just to see each other?</p>

<p>what if one of them may move back to their home country in a few months. then how likely is it that they like each other enough to see each other again?</p>

<p>Maybe if they were gone for a few months and they talked all the time, and then the person who returned stayed there. Otherwise, they never work out.</p>

<p>I’m thinking of all of the girls on my floor who came into school with prior relationships. Including myself, I can think of six girls, and of those, two have stayed together with their significant other. Both of our boyfriends are less than an hour away. </p>

<p>At the same time, I have met and spoken to a girl who goes to school here, in New York, and has a boyfriend at home in Argentina. The answer is that it’s always a possibility, but the odds are really against it. You’ll probably just drift apart at separation due to meeting new people and changing as a result, and that’s okay.</p>

<p>so i guess its hopeless then if they didnt know each other that well until after they chatted online while in different countries?</p>

<p>it sounds like you’re actually asking how much some girl or boy likes you which is impossible for us to say.</p>

<p>i vote sever. there are a million new people to meet in college.</p>

<p>They can. But not when two people with crushes barely know each other.</p>

<p>what if they got to know each other better by chatting online?</p>

<p>loool similar situation here</p>

<p>only not different countries :/</p>

<p>^well the situation i’m asking about is a little different from those in that thread. let’s say one of them may move back to their home country in a few months, because they want to return to their home country, but are still unsure about it. but at the same time, he/she chats with their crush online and gets to the other person alot better since they barely knew each other when they lived in the same area before. i’m asking how likely it is for that person to move back JUST so they live really close to each other (maybe 10 minutes away)?</p>

<p>not very likely</p>

<p>In my freshman year quite a few people came in having a significant other, and all of them broke up. Maybe the number was around 10. </p>

<p>I did meet a girl in my class, and her and her significant other were on opposite sides of the country for a year or two, and are still together. They did visit one another though.</p>

<p>So I would say not very often, but it is likely. I would say near impossible when its nothing more than a crush though.</p>

<p>I’m currently in a long distance relationship. We met at college and started dating a little over 2 months back, and are now separated over a long distance for 4 long months (summer). It’s really hard on some days, but I think if you make sure you communicate, and really love and trust each other, and know that you are going to be together again in a couple of months, it can and will work out.</p>

<p>Atleast I hope it will.</p>

<p>communication is very crucial in a relationship
if you barely know each other, trust is not fully developed
that would be a hard case…
most likely the two of you will find someone else
dont expect too much on that kind of relationship to work</p>

<p>If I’m around the female half, the fidelity of the relationship will almost certainly fail. That being said, are you the female half, and where are you? I need to know these details so I can stay away.</p>

<p>I was in a long distance relationship for about 2.5 years. It was really hard for the both of us, as we were separated by thousands of miles apart. It sucked TBH, I had to stay up late at night/early morning and the same for her just to talk. In addition, I used to get stories about other boys trying to hit on her and it used to burn me emotionally as I knew there was nothing I could do. As me being a guy, the idea of just boys looking at my gf makes me go crazy and makes the adrenal go rushing through my blood. So I’d assume you’d understand how angry I felt.</p>

<p>I honestly don’t know how we broke up. I think it was something to do with the finals week and I haven’t been in contact with anybody not even her. So we might of just faded away. I thought she was the one, but hey, somethings are just not meant to be and Im ok with that.</p>

<p>The bright side is that I can now focus on my studies next semester and honestly, I feel kind of " free " if you know what I mean.</p>

<p>I met this new girl, and I seem to have a crush on her. We both are majoring in chemE and I hope thing work out between us :)</p>

<p>The bottom line is: Expect some rough nights, pain, and be patient. If your really dedicated you can make it through !</p>

<p>Just to clarify, I was wrong, her major was not Chem E. I thought it was because she was with me in Gen Chem 1. But, we’re together now and thats the great thing :)</p>

<p>while chatting online with her, she doesnt seem very responsive. i think i’ll give up now and just tell her i wish we talked more in person last year (i was really shy around her and we rarely saw each other, so we didnt get to talk much)</p>
