do they work??

hehe
xxxx

better question Sam.

Do you work?

nope.
Not for me anyhoo....

Sometimes - depends how long it\'s for. If it\'s a permanent type of thing - nup. If it\'s just for, say, 6 months or so, yup. Also depends on how much you like the person...

Thanks Sam!

im about to find out...
he lives in sydney, but im a bit spoilt, because he can fly me over
ive always believed that they don\'t though

i have trouble staying in relationships in the same city... maybe long distance will offer variety and a challenge which is what i need

I love you imaprincess!

Depends on whoo your partner is i suppose,
Also how long you are apart for..!?!

Are you thinking about having one Sam?

Without getting too deep & meaningful, the fact is that everyone needs a bit of booty, and not necessarily all the way to home plate, just maybe the odd trip to first, or maybe even a good groundball to Leftfeield allowing a double round to second base. Either way, I hate to say it but we\'re only human, and we can\'t talk shit to someone else allllllll the time, we gotta get some lovin\' some time!!!!!!!

nope. they don\'t work. there is the odd exception to the rule, but i can only think of one example...

but most relationships don\'t work anyway... think about it... how many have any of you had that haven\'t ended in a breakup?

did it for 3 years, me here studying, him in napier. broke up a couple times, he visited every 6 weeks and me during holidays.

it SUCKS, but is all good if they move to the same city at the end of it.

(thanks babe

Bennor - that is wicked. A perfect way of looking at things. I\'ll remember that!

yeah moo im thinking about having one
she lives in botswana but it should be ok cos well see each other twice a year so im prepared to commit wholeheartedly on the off chance that she stays faithful
hehe

i like your attitude moo ! hee hee
everyone should think like you do
you rock!

always a place for you to stay in wgtn when you come down and party with me

depends on the person i guess. my ex left for south america and (suprise suprise) we broke it off. now i\'ve got this girl in pennsylvania that wants to marry me when we\'re both older! haha =D

Oh, the one that has the points system in her mud hut over there with her flatmates.

Oh hold on, she might live in the lake with the other hippo\'s. Sam that\'s a brilliant idea, go for it! You two make a LOVELY couple

Why don\'t you propose?!? I could help you with your wedding speech! (hehe)

imaprincess - you too babe in Auckland! Anytime!!

had one for 2 years a while back. it sucked at the time. But we struggled our way thru it.
If it is meant to be, it will be.

i agree with star....there is definatly a time limit....i mean also just how long can you go without a physical connection aswell....

oooh... good point... im not very good at restraining myself, this will be a test of character for me

well i know what im buying moo and imaprincess for xmas presents this year..clue: its from a sex shop

every girl needs a little(?) silver friend

what? like R2D2 hehe

Hahaha!

Thanks Bungle, but imaprincess might be living in Melbourne with her Prince by then, and as for me...... suppose we\'ll all just have to wait and see!

have had 2 of em........I\'m single now, so what
does that tell you???

(that I am crap in bed :o( ) hahahah

Vary rarely they work. So many different factors that come into the equation. At the end of the day if its meant to be it wont matter if you are in the same city or different parts of the world.

Nope.

Me and 10 friends are going to go up in a helicopter and fly around for 3 hours to raise 50 pounds for char-i-dee.

oh and long distance relationships work if you want them to.

Nicely put exodus. I agree

I think if I was having a long distance relationship it would have to be very open minded. If you get my drift.

how cynical am i?

ive always believed - no relationship is forever
maybe someone will change my mind one day... maybe i just found him...ever hopeful, yet still cynical

I got your drift Nova........The doctor has put me
on antibiotics....hehhheej/k

Damien - oh dear!

imaprincess - at the risk of sounding soppy, relationships come and go...but true love is forever. I can\'t wait to meet that person

Nova, u r on the money......an issue I am
currently coming to terms with....I dont get into
relationships for the sake of having them.....not
my bag at all......

My b/f is in the defence force and goes away heaps!! Last year he was away 3/4 of the year! It works, but only if you\'re ready to trust the other person

Damien - I\'ve been single for two years for that reason. Sure I\'ve dated, but if the possibility of something special isn\'t there, I kinda just let it flitter off.

yeah me too, pretty much single for 3 years

My luck is changing though. Why is it you meet one person then two others ask you out practically the same day. uurrgh what to do?

Oh well at least they all live in Auckland. hehe

It depends on whether you\'re taking about 4-hour drive long-distance or 14,000 miles long-distance. If its the latter and theres no chance of seeing each other, forget it. The person has to be physically there. It just doesn\'t work otherwise.

..and the physical part is what we like best. Hehe

i know what you mean NOVA, it\'s either none, or 3 at once for me makes life interesting i guess

oh I shouldn\'t complain really.

It\'s hard, but it can work. The other person has to be pretty special, and you have to trust them implicitly. And it is worth it

The problem with long distance relationships is that they are so appealing. Through my years of travelling, ive had a few and all have ended in tears (not by me though, cause im a real man...well, anyway...).
It seems groovy to be involved in a long distance relationship and everyone around you thinks your both pretty cool for doing it. Then reality sets in......

My advice, make sure you and your partner can get the same passport or rights to each others country, otherwise forgeddaboutit!
