Well.. We met up on Habbo.co.uk in August 2009. We exchanged our MSN's and we chatted and exchanged photos. She looked amazing from my point of view. She told me I looked handsome. She told me her name was Morgan and she was 13 at the time and i was 15. We talked, and talked, and talked, racking up about six hours per day. and We never grew tired of each other. It took me a good few weeks before i realised i loved her. She was my escape from the outside world. I felt safe with her. The relationship is very strong and i talk to her on skype,facebook and msn everyday and I also text her too. It goes to show you that LDR's do in fact work. but it takes mutual trust.

I love you Baby. x

When I turned 17 I started going on a webcam hosting site, where you would get on cam and talk to other's who decided to join your hosting room, I was 20 the last time I got on (I am 21 now) and it had been over a year since the last time I had, I was bored and just wanted to talk to people. That's when I met Colin, immediately when he joined we started making fun of each other, he was a prick. After about a couple hours of this I gave out everyone my aim screen name if they ever wanted to talk because I knew I wouldn't be back on the site for a long time. The next day Colin sent me a message and after that we haven't missed a day of talking. The weird part about it (some would call it fate) was the first two weeks of talking we were both sick and had a horrible case of the flu (he claims I made him sick even tho we are miles apart =]) so we would just lay in bed and text one and other throughout the day non stop, I would wake up to cute texts of him saying "good morning" and asking me if I was feeling better. He intrigued me because we were so different but so alike, he wasn't like any other guy I had been with or liked before, there was just something about him I knew I couldn't just let him go. We finally started talking on the phone after 3 months and around 5 months he came and visited me, that was one of the happiest days of my life. After that we made it official. He has had my heart for 8 months now and we have been official for 3.



There has been ups and downs, as everyone knows ldr's can be more painful than if the person was closer. We both have the same fears of losing each other over the distance and some days we fight, but he always reassures me I am his special someone and he isn't going anywhere. He has been amazing through this all, very caring and the best boyfriend a girl could ever ask for. I like that our relationship is an ldr for the more part because we have that communication that other's who don't have the distance don't, we know each other, we know the bad and the good, we know when each other is upset and tries to hide it. Everyone in my life thinks I am crazy for loving at a distance, that it's unrealistic, but you know what? He is my darling and I am his babe, I adore him and he adores me and I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world.

If your looking at this and wondering what really makes an ldr work? It's trust, communication and an ending in mind. When we first started talking I told him if we did last and it came down to it, I'd move to be with him.

So there you have it, don't let anyone tell you who you can and cannot love. There is no distance in love.

I have been in a LDR for almost 10 months (it will be in 2 days!) I met my boyfriend at a party. I never saw him before because he went to a school 2 hrs away from me and he was a senior in high school that year while I was a junior. Him and his friend came on the dance floor and started dancing with me and my friend. And soon, we began to make out and before we knew it, it was already 4:30am and we were the only people left dancing.

I traded numbers with him because he is pretty good looking and I thought I'd send him a text later on which I did two days after. After constant texting and msn-ing, we went on two dates before he asked me out two weeks after we met.

He was going to graduate in 3 months and he was going to go to college in Ohio so I knew we were going to break up. But I wasn't prepared to fall in love with him (as cliche as it sounds) and when the 3 month mark came and he had to leave, we decided to stay together despite knowing that we'd be countries and oceans apart and we would hardly get to talk because of the time difference.

The first few months were hard but summer kept me preoccupied. When school started in August, it was torture. We somehow managed to fit in one msn conversation a day and we webcammed on the weekends.

I never for one moment thought he would cheat on me and I trusted him 100% to not hurt me which he didn't do. I gave him my heart and he kept it safe. I understand college life and how wild and crazy it gets with the different girls and alcohol...but somehow I knew my boyfriend would not betray my trust in him.

Somewhere during the first 9 months, we broke up for 2 weeks. He initiated it because he was tired of not being able to do anything physical and his friends were pressuring him to break up with me, saying he would feel the fully college experience if he was single. But 2 weeks later, he came back to me and wanted me back. I never doubted that we wouldn't be together again but it was a wake up call because I realized how much he meant to me and I would be really devastated if we didn't make up again.

It's Christmas time now and he came back to visit his family. I get to see him for 2 weeks and I'm loving every day of it. I won't get to see him for another six months but by then, hopefully I will be accepted to a college near his in Michigan and we will get to see each other more frequently.

I met my bf of a little over a year on an airplane. I was going to visit a friend and he was returning home from a work trip. He sat across from me on the plane, and I asked him why he wasn't married in hand signaling and mouthing lol. It was loud on the plane. Then I said you are hot while waving my hand to fan my face. I know... Thank you Jack Daniel's. Well, we continued our flight and when we landed I figured that was where it ended. I was going down the escalator to retrieve my luggage and looked back. He was behind me smiling. I smiled and got off. After I picked up my bag and was proceeding to head out the door he came up to me and we chatted about little things. He actually asked me if he could kiss me. I said, "Here?", in astonishment. He gave me his card and told me to call him or email him. He started to walk out the sliding door and before it shut I took my chance. I ran after him, grabbed his shoulder to turn him around and kissed him. That was the first time we made love. I knew he was the one. We had this amazing hug. Like we knew each other. Well, that night I had to text him. I couldn't get him out of my mind. We talked all the time. Mainly from emails because he was out of the country the next day. We continued talking when he returned home also, and one day he said he was in my city for work. He asked me to lunch, but I wasn't prepared. I wanted to take my time and look my complete best. GIRLS HAHA. So I asked him if we could have dinner. We had an amazing time. He even gave me a footrub under the table. He went home the next morning, and later I found out that he didn't have to work at all. That he had came out just to surprise me. I felt so bad for blowing him off just to get ready, and promised no matter what I won't take for granted any of our time together again. We have been together ever since. I went out to his state to live for 6 months, but financially didn't prepare enough, so had to go back home. Now we have about 4 months of hardly seeing each other under our belt. It is really hard sometimes. Sometimes I feel comfortable, but I question how long couples can stay in a long distance before finally uniting? In our case we went from seeing each other every day to now 3 or 4 days a month. I feel like we can make it most of the time, but I have this thought still that there is just too much keeping us apart, and we will never be able to be together again. I know that we have tust, honesty, understanding, communication, respect and so much more, but it is still hard. Happy and sad times you just want your love there to share it with. I pray this works because I can't imagine my life without him. I hope that we can finally be together again. Good luck to all the other LDR's!!!!
