Get That Loving Feeling Long Distance

By Astrid Engels

For most of us a close loving relationships with someone is essential. It's one of those intangible assets that no one can really put a price tag on. It's no wonder that internet dating has grown the way it has over the past two decades! Internet dating has expanded the dating pool by leaps and bounds; you can meet someone from your own city, your own state or venture farther afield and search the world.

For a lot of us, involvement in a relationship means that we see our partner every day. We enjoy spending time together and love the spontaneity of having our loved one close by. Other couples, and I know some like this, see each other only occasionally. They live independent lives due to busy work and family schedules or simply because they don't live in the same city.

Most of us don't even think about long distance relationships when we're on the lookout for love. But it's important to keep an open mind when dating. Who knows, something new and different, like long distance dating, could very well lead you to what you have been looking for. While long distance dating can be fun, it also has its challenges.

One of the definite down sides of long distance dating is that you partner will not be able to attend all of the events with you that you'd like; not will you be able to attend events him that are important to your partner. Spur of the moment dates probably won't happen either. However, there are definitely some pros to long distance dating;

1. There is much less emphasis on the physical aspect of the relationship and more on really getting to know the other person. If long term is what you're after, you might not be doing yourself any favors by sleeping together too soon.

2. Your friendships won't suffer. Usually when you're in a new relationship you spend all your time with your new sweetie. When they're not around each and every day you can keep the balance in your life.

3. You have the opportunity to get away from the norm every now and then. If they live in a place you have always wanted to visit, you get to experience something new.

4. You know that list of options you have tucked away in the event you want to move? Now you have a new option to consider.

5. Okay, I have two words for you; Phone Sex. If you've already tried this then you know it's an exciting way to keep a relationship sparking.

6. Your partnership stays newer longer. You have less time together so you tend to make the most of it. You can put the trivialities aside and concentrate on the important stuff.

Though it's probably not your preference, having a long distance love connection can be a wonderful experience; it's completely up to the two people involved. Take a chance; you never know if this trip into the unknown will turn into something wonderful that will last a lifetime.
