Thousand Miles Away

With the advent of internet, more and more people are meeting and dating in the virtual world. This type of long distance relationships are not easy and require an enormous commitment from both people. With careers requiring people to move to different places from their significant others, and with internet dating encouraging people from different parts of the country (and world) to begin romantic unions, how can you keep your love intact?

There are many reasons why the relationships won't work. Although the cell phone comes in handy, you are often not in the same time zone, so you have to plan what time to have a phone conversation. But if you put your time and attention into connecting with this person in a variety of ways and allow yourself to be flexible and to trust, the miles in between won't matter. If you are away from each other, what is the understanding you have about dating other people or developing friendships and going out with other people?
