Ok I would like to get some advice or even hear some stories about long distance relationships.
I am seing a man that lives 2.5 hours away from me. I know to many that doesn't seem that long at all , but in some ways it is. I want to be with him and see him and its so hard because of our work schedules. I so wish i can just be able to get out of work and say hey I'm passing by lets go grab a bite to eat or take a walk or do something, but I can't. I feel like maybe giving up because the majority of these types of relationships dont always work out. He tells me that he wishes he can see me on a regular basis and how much he just wants me close to him. there have been times we had some issues with communication because we keep missing eachother. we are both so busy. I just want to know has anybody who has been in a similar situation how did you make it work. How did you over come all these obstacles that involve being so far away. we had our fare share of our ups and downs and we always talked things out when things got somewhat ugly.

Please please I would like some guidance. Thank you so much
I didn't personally go through a long distance relationship but i do know a cousin of mine that had a girlfriend who lived in B.C Vancouver whereas he lived in ON Toronto. They dated for 8 years and finally got married in 2012. Of course she had to leave everything and come to Toronto to live here. But shes really happy with it, because in the end of the dya, he was worth it. So you if you know that this guy is really worth it. Don't gibe up so quick. Not many of us meet someone special and when people do, its better to go through the up's and down's. As of now, you can maybe make up a schedule. Talk it out on which day and at what time do you guys think you can Skype or do something that is meant for only you two. Maybe that would help instead of being so lost in your busy lives ? That is just a suggestion. Of course trust is needed and good communication skills. I know there were times where i couldn't see my boyfriend for months then i would get frustrated at how badly i missed him, i would end up taking out my anger on him. Try to avoid that. If that doesn't happen, that is really good for you two smile. Overall, do not give up! This will only make you guys stronger. Figure out a plan and go accordingly. Even if that means to call each for 5 minutes before going to sleep.
thank you for the responses.
I am still up in the air about what I want to do. the past 2 days we hardly even talked. we talked on the phone once and today I text him saying good morning in which he took about 2.5 hours to answer my text. Its moments like this is where I feel as if he is slipping away from me. You know the saying "out of sight out of mind" I think that is what is happening. the other thing is thast maybe i like him more than he likes me and maybe I am looking way too much into it. I did talk to him about this in the past and I had asked him does he want to keep this thing here casual and just be friends or really try to make this work. he said he would think about it. he got back to me and says I want to be with you but does not knwo how to. I just said please don't give up on me and he said he wont. but see here I am thinking that maybe I should end it because in some way I am unhappy because we don't get to see eachother and we hardly talk as much as we did before. I dont know what to do.
Its over.....I tried but he didn't want me.. oh well Sad
Thank you I know I did. Eventually Mr. Right will come along. This here is not the end of the world. Keep on living it up and Do me.
