Online long distance relationships.

[Muuuuuummm]

Can here be a happy ever after? Do you know of any?

Yes. The good think is you get to know the real person, whether by writing, emailing, telephoning etc.
It can be possible to put up a front for some time, but if they are not your type they are likley to reveal that over time in such communication.

Meet up when you can - dep[ends on the distance, where they are etc and covid regs obs.

Good luck!

I'm sorry I've repeated myself. I didnt think my first go had worked.
Thank you for your reply 🙂

Even though we havent met in person. I feel like I know him better than I know a lot of my close friends. I never planned this but he makes me very happy

I'm currently very happily married to a man I met online when we were teenagers, living in two different countries.
It definitely can work. But it's hard.

I had a long distance relationship for 7 years. Me and my partner just got married 2 months ago and are now expecting our first child. So yes a long distance relationship can definitely work out. Although, it does require hard work. Texting someone isn't the same as talking to them face-to-face. You often get wound up in emotions because you can't read the emotions of one another through text. I'd advise you to do what your heart feels is right and just be very patient. My long distance relationship did take a lot of patience and time to make sure everything went well between us. It was definitely a rollercoaster and was very difficult at times. But we managed and are now happily married😁

Oh thank you for your positive stories. I am willing to be patient and so is he.

I've got a long distance online relationship, although we do meet up when we can. In between we stay in contact by FB messenger, and video calls where we can chat and see each other. It's very successful.

I would be wary, you haven't met him so you don't really know him and whats going on in his life apart from who he seems to be, he could be genuine, he could be in a relationship already.
You may not even like him in real life, so many times I've got my hopes up before a date only to feel absolutely nothing towards them upon meeting them.
See him more as a friend until you meet him.

I think you can enjoy it for what it is, but keep your feet on the ground a bit and remember there is a fantasy element to this for both of you. It's very easy to mirror someone online and appear to be what you're not or better than you are.

You need to smell the guy and breathe him in. We're animals after all.

Yes, i married mine. We were very intense talking all the time, met for a long weekend and then a two week holiday and moved in together three months later. I also met my two best friends in the world online. I do think you need an end date though.

Meet soon, if you can. If not, lots of video calls. In my experience there is no substitute for face to face.

Thank you, yes we video call a lot and talk for hours. I feel very comfortable with him. I'm pretty sure he is genuine. He doednt paint the perfect picture of himself and neither do I. In fact we keep trying to think of things about ourselves the other wouldnt like.

I agree with the smell thing. Smell is very important to me. I have even thought about asking him to send a t shirt in a zip locked bag 😄. I will hopefully be able to make a trip there in a few months and see (and smell) for myself x
