My boyfriend and I celebrated 2 months of being together yesterday. Never thought I'd have a relationship like this for 2 months or even have one in the first place

Wow.

Candy and I have been together for, like, six and a half months now...

... The hell did the time go? o3o God, it hasn't felt like that long, yet it feels like its been forever. I am very honestly surprised that we've been together for six entire months, going onto seven. Before long, it will be my joining VE anniversary. And then it'll be mine and Candy's anniversary! Dear god, this... this is quite cool o3o

Hehe~ I know right?

It's a little weird, actually. The days have all gone by so fast, yet it feels like it's been forever.
And I can help but feel... Something, I don't know what, since we're like the only two VE'ers dating each other currently, as far as I know.

So once again I'm single... and left not even knowing what just happened. My entire body doesn't even know what's going on, it's so confused... And part of me is thinking that she and I are still together, though I know we aren't...

There I go, wanting men I can't have again.
Goddammit I hate this about myself. .-.
My heart is so damn fickle.

Shit, I only just realized me and Aero's eight monthiversary passed already.
Not like it matters, though, pointing it out just seems redundant by this point.

But our anniversary is so close I can taste it.
Jesus Christ, there's no way it's been that long.

... Ya know, while I'm here, everywhere I go I keep hearing from people that long distant relationships never end well. Then I look at what's happened between me and Aero, and I know that they are so terribly wrong. If only they knew, our relationship is ten times stronger than the strongest relationship I've seen between people that know each other IRL. In fact, I don't see our relationship ending, ever.

Though, really, it's a bit too soon to say for sure... ._.

Deliciously delicious.
Long distance relationships can go well as long as your dedicated. I'm not really sure if they end horribly or anything, but mine was pretty quiet; we just went our separate ways because I wasn't thinking of enough ways to stay connected. You two seem to be just fine, so I wouldn't worry.

Being in a long distance relationship, myself, I understand why they don't often go well. They can go well, but I can understand why many wouldn't. It's hard to do things together. You can't go out to lunch, can't go to the theater, can't go on a walk, can't even hold hands or hug. You're limited to the computer or a phone as being the only place you can be together, and even then you're simply looking at an image of the person. There's no real closeness. This also means things will get samey quickly, especially if you are spending a lot of time together. Especially now that we've settled down out of the honeymoon phase, you lose a lot of mobility and freedom to do common things you could do if she was here with me. I can't just sit there and watch TV casually since that means turning away from her, so it seems like I'm ignoring her and not actually with her. If she was here with me we could, I could go get something from the kitchen without having to make an event out of it.

Really, it makes getting into calls more like a date than casually spending time with her. Dates are important, but if you're spending that much time with her you need to spend a lot of casual time with her as well. That's important to a healthy relationship, you get to see what the other really acts and lives like, when they're not putting up a good face and performing for the sake of a date.

In short, long distance relationships make the dating side more difficult since your options are limited as to what you'll do, and makes the casual side much more difficult as well, nearly removing it. Long distance relationships can certainly work, I'm in one myself and have been for nearly a year and a half now, but they are much harder to pull off. Heck, I've seen healthy marriages break up due to them.

To anybody else out there, I'll give this advice: If you want to start a relationship but are worried about it being long distance, just do it. Try your best. It won't be easy, but it can work out, and you'll kick yourself for missing out on something wonderful if you pass it by. To those in a long distance relationship, just remember that things won't go as perfectly as a normal relationship. That doesn't mean anything is wrong, just take it into account and do your best with what you can do. Look forward to the moments you can be together, and to a future where there won't be a great distance between you.

I'm personally okay with long distance relationships myself. The trouble is the opinion of the other side for me. Plus, the whole "actions speak louder than words thing" would be halfway thrown out the window, no? I mean you're seen, but still, most of what you can do is speak.

Then again, if your words are enough to captivate someone, simply by mere expressivity, imagine what your actions could do.
