Did you ever deal with long distance relationships?

[Steve5451²]

no i dont? there are multiple needs for a relationship, and its possible, emphasis, possible, to not satisfy all of them, but having the bare minimum doesn't make it a relationship.

it sure as hell makes it easier but I do not believe that physical contact is absolutely necessary to share a mutually meaningful relationship.
there is so much more to a relationship than being able to put your willy in them. you can love somebody without holding them in your arms; it's emotional intimacy that i find most rewarding.

Guys please, I would appreciate if you could move this discussion elsewhere, I just wanted to know your stories about the matter.

Speaking of it, if our relationship goes further, we will try to find a way to see each other once or twice per month, so it's not THAT bad so to speak.

go for it. if it doesn't work out then you two move on.

i dont believe in love anyways. i just like my richard sucked

And suddenly it all makes sense. You don't believe love as possible, so you're projecting on to others, saying that relationships you have no part in definitely won't last.

Can you guys please move this elsewhere? I honestly did not expect 5 Pages of discussion.

some people are aloveual/have stds and still enjoy healthy relationships. as i said, you don't need to satisfy all of the needs, but you definitely can't get far with one

And suddenly it all makes sense. You don't believe love as possible, so you're projecting on to others, saying the relationship definitely won't last.

love is possible, it's one of the core factors that is required in a relationship. i just don't prefer it. just like some people like ldrs, i like one night stands. i'm happy, she/he's happy, but that doesn't mean its a relationship. you can call it symbiotic, sure, but not romantic

likewise, just talking to somebody alone or just loving them doesn't constitute a romantic relationship. it could be considered a close friendship, or maybe just a relationship, sure, but it can't go on forever in that state

i dated an aloveual girl

you are an outlier arguing on behalf of people that do enjoy love?

nobody is arguing that you can't enjoy one night stands but please don't argue against people enjoying their half of the deal

long distance relationships dont work. either you go full-commitment mode and have them move in with you, or just forget off and get yourself a real girlfriend. people who think there is a possible in-between are horny teenagers or catfish-bait

relationships are centered around two things- money and intimacy. in a LDR, neither of those things exist, so its only a matter of time before your piece of ldr ass finds a sugar daddy or some richard

You are objectively wrong because I made it work. Just married her and I can have pictures later.

You can make that work easy. Plenty of people who made it work with less. It's all about open and honest communication, the conversation should just kinda flow indefinitely. Keeping track of milestones can keep the 'morale' up as well.

im not really arguing on behalf of anything. my whole point has been centered around two things- relationships that meet only one need are not romantic relationships, and non-romantic relationships will not last (friendships will tho). this is applicable to anything, from long distance relationships, to forgetbuddies, to sugar daddies, to anything.

i never told anyone to not enjoy it, i never told anyone that its wrong, i just said its not sustainable, and if you think it is romantic, you're delusional or blinded by hormones. you 'feeling' its romantic doesn't make it romantic

itt: alpha pusillanimous individualslayer phantOS learns the true meaning of love

[Rally]

Yeah I think at this point we should probably just indulge the OP by letting PhantOS repeat the same incorrect psychobabble to himself over and over again

[PhantOS]

i am objectively right. you committed, one of the two options you can take in an ldr. congratulations on your marriage by the way, and i actually mean that

[hillkill]

they suck.

it's too much that you like them and you can't hold them or kiss them. it truly sucks so i had to end a few.

I dunno why you're specifying LDR. You have the exact same choices in any relationship. Commit, or don't.

yes, the entirety of all relationships is centered around commitment. this is obvious.

meeting someone at a bar once isn't a romantic relationship. if i want, i can commit, i can ask them out on a date a couple times, and eventually, we will be romantically involved. likewise, ldrs lie on the threshold right behind a romantic relationship. either you commit, at which you are romantically involved, you stay in the limbo of phone screen communication known as ldr, or you seek a more healthy and fulfilling relationship.

there is nothing wrong with taking any of those options, but only one will lead to a romantic relationship. this has been my argument since the first post (albeit the first post was a little harsh and poorly worded)

dude what position are you trying to even argue here
