Long Distance Relationship Advice Please!

[gypsyjim]

I saw your new thread at lunch, when you first posted it. Figured MY advice you would not like.

Now, when you are ready to #$%&*-up a relationship, ld or local, I CAN be of service!

Seriously, relationships are tough enough when you can look each other in the eye. On the other hand maybe having a continent or two between you could keep things fresh! At least the other party can't see your eyes wander during a "discussion".

How did you meet? On vacation. Introduced by a mutual friend.
Did the relationship start out as long distance or local? Long distance
What was the distance apart? 2900 miles
How often did you see each other? Once per year
What were the modes of communication? ie voice, text, im, webcam None really. A little webcam once in a while.
How often did you communicate? Just annually
What were 3 challenges of a LDR and how did you cope with them? Often look at pictures of her. Close my eyes and try to remember what it was like to be with her.
What were 3 things that you did which contributed to the LDR's success? Always be in a good mood when I'm with her. Always look at the positives and ignore the negatives. Minimal time together means we need to focus on the good and not the bad. Ignore a bad meal. Ignore poor weather, etc.
How long did the LDR last? 3 years so far
If applicable, how long was it before one of you relocated? Hasn't happened yet. Probably won't.
How did it turn out? So far so good.
Would you do it again and why/not? Absolutely.
Is there anything you would have done differently, if so, what? Nope.

If there is anything else I should have asked? Her name. Her name is BONAIRE.


(sorry for that.)

How did you meet?

Uh, how did you meet?

Romance can start online, but if you do not know how to trace emails to country of origin, you need to learn quickly.

I use Email Trace - Trace Email and find out who is the email owner. Email address header trace.
and ipTRACKERonline : Complete email header analysis. Analyse email headers here
but you have to know how to find the headers on the email.

The vast majority trace to western Africa...

Hey, no one ever takes my advice anyway. So all is good.
Half the time I don't listen to my own advice
