Long Distance Relationships Advice - Are You Sure? by Gianni
Sept. 15, 2009
Are long distance relationships what we are looking for when we start communicating with that alluring man or woman that we meet on a dating site or chat line? Probably not for many of us. We enjoy the anonymous social structure of the world wide web and love the opportunity to communicate and even flirt with the opposite sex all over our country or even the world. Perhaps many of us unknowingly stumble into more intimate cross-state or cross-continent romances. How many of us unexpectedly fall in romantic love with someone we meet online?
Once a love connection begins to develop, it can be hard to shake. And many of us do not try to shake it. We enjoy the passion, the attention, the affection way too much. We are drawn further and further into deep, sometimes meaningful long distance relationships without even trying ...and without even examining the long-term complications that could arise because of it.
That is what happened to Sophie and I. Because we have discovered true love for ourselves, we have since merged together as The Masked Truelovers. As I write this article, it has been more than one year after we met on a Christian dating site. We are now very happily married, ...but we still live more than 150 miles away from each other. We live in two states and we only see each other on weekends. It is hard because we miss each other terribly during every work week. The best long distance relationship advice I can give you is: "Make sure that you have found true love with that person you met over the internet and are willing to make whatever sacrifices that are necessary to eventually be together - because he or she is really worth it to you." It's a wonderful feeling to be loved that much by the other person. Sophie and I alternately drive to see each other 3 hours every weekend - every weekend since we met over 14 months ago.
Long distance relationships are worth it when you have a woman like Sophie to look forward to seeing every weekend. She is the sweetest most loving, accepting, affectionate, supportive, breathtaking, captivating, amazing, inspiring, adorable, precious woman I could ever imagine. She is the ideal woman that any man would want to spend the rest of his life with. Sophie is agreeable, devoted, encouraging, loyal, selfless, soothing, tender, beautiful, desirable, passionate, romantic, fabulous, glowing, stunning, thrilling, unbelievable, exciting, extraordinary, cute, and darling. She is a pure unique treasure to me. I'll give you some love advice. "If you feel this way about that man or woman you met online, and are willing to express that to him or her, it may be worth the effort to develop that over-the-road romance you are destined for with the person you have met or may meet in the future during your online dating adventures. You just might have come upon true love." Sophie provides some more tips on how we manage the best we can in our own long distance relationship.
How often do people get trapped into long distance relationships by undercurrents of passion that pull us under before we know it? We start to drown in a combination of our own hidden desires and the sensual attention that is being directed towards us by the other person. We have to be careful. Sometimes that person on the other end knows exactly how to get to our yearnings for emotional and physical satisfaction and are only using us for their own selfish gain. Other love tips I would give are: "Don't base your feelings on how they appeal to your lust or ego. Both people need to show respect for the other. If you are religious, your first priority should be to seek out common spiritual beliefs and lifestyles. Then seek out someone who shares your personality, likes, and dislikes. I believe that finding compatibility in as many areas of life as possible is crucial. That is the strength of my relationship with Sophie. And I know that she would agree. A love chemistry - and the accompanying expressions of passion - will begin to grow naturally the more you connect with each other on a daily basis. Then, DON'T LET THE PASSION DIE! When we are apart, one thing that helps Sophie keep the passion alive is to stuff one of my t-shirts under her pillow. In long distance relationships, do everything you can in the days, weeks, or months between visits to refresh your sense of passion for each other.
Neither Sophie nor I are professional advisors on relationships. (Visit our page by guest Relationship Counselor, James Thomas Klotzle, a certified Christian Life Coach). Anyone can become "truelovers" if you find the right person and are determined to treat them right as well. We are just two people who found that long distance relationships can be worth the effort if you feel like we do about each other. But it is emotionally painful because of how we miss and long for each other during the week. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME on your computer unless you are ready to face the difficulties that accompany such a love relationship. Be prepared to show your honey that you care enough about him or her to visit them (if at all possible). Never let it be one-sided. You may have children to consider like Sophie and I do. You may have good careers that are not easily sacrificed. Sophie is worth the wait. Is your lover or potential sweetie worth everything that you are going to have to put into this relationship?
