Long Distance Relationships... a forum?

[Tessie]

I agree that a LDR forum is a good idea since it does have it's own unique challenges. I was in one for 10 months until we finally moved in together so I certainly can offer some advice.

*side note* Wally and Irresistible, you two are so cute and I am so happy for you both. Congrats on your first year! What an inspiration you are on how it can really work to fall in love and find happiness with someone online.

Hey Wally, how are YOU not a moderator??? Is there no justice here?!?!?

[WallyLlama]

LMAO! Me a moderator????

There have been a few folks here who for a while seemed to be running for the position... but by and large this site doesn't seem to need much moderating... and doesn't get much!

I have an idea, though... maybe we could start some LDR topics in the "Other Sex" forum... if we start the topic with "LDR" everytime... might attract some attention from posters and a moderator. Whaddya think?

Awww, Tessie... so sweet of you to say that... and it's sooo true!! Loripop and I are in BIG love! Not sure about being an inspiration... we're kinda busy being in love!

sounds like a plan to me, I'll start thinking one up. Shouldn't be too hard.

I just wanted to add that I also vote for a LDR forum, since I am also in a LDR!! It would be great to finally see somewhere devoted to LDR's. You definitely have my vote.

Is it still considered off topic??

(For those who might not know, I really love this woman.)

I think it is always good to bubble and mush.
It is part of what love is all about.
It is an affirmation of the love of her beauty and the respect for your strength of heart, Wally.

Bubble and Mush away, I say!!!!


I think a LDR forum would be an excellent idea. It would help keep this forum up-to-date and current since online relationships are becoming more and more a viable option in meeting the opposite sex.

I do think Wally and Irresistable should be the moderators.
I do hope the moderators take note and listen and tap into this particular market for their site.

You two should write some articles or a book, you know I've told you that already. I just thought I would mention it again.

could someone tell me please what an LDR is in detail ?

online?

[jay-girl]

Its a "Long Distance Relationship"...just when you and your partner do not live close, and dont see eachother for long periods of time.

could be because one of you moved. or just lived far apart to begin with...

[champloo]

that makes sense.

i knew what it stood for, but i meant like, what could you do?

obviously, if its long distance, there is no physical contact. probably alot of phone sex eh?

For some people maybe. For me, there's none of that because frankly, she and I would both feel kind of ridiculous. Basically, you just don't have that physical aspect in your relationship. It sucks, for more reasons than just missing the sex. The LDR is all about trust, and a desire between the two of you to stay together even though you can't physically be together as often as you'd like to, in any sense.

By the way, my LDR nightmare is over in 37 days! Hell yes! Ten days after that, I leave for six weeks of Marine Officer training, or another LDR nightmare with less contact than we have now. Oh well, I can't wait for those ten days!
