... What if I suddenly get the need for an hug or a kiss or... something more intimate? Such needs occure from one moment to the other for me and I couldn't wait 4 days or so until I get it.

Hugs and kisses become much more precious. As for other stuff ... you would learn to make do with what you've already been doing for years anyway Then it is a real firework party when you are together again.

And since my last relationship, I'm too paranoid and too disappointed by men to be able to handle it. Most of the guys are not trustable

That's a shame. I can't imagine there's anyone in this world I could trust more than I trust PA. I know our arrangement would not suit everyone. Some couples are okay if their distant partners seek relief outside the relationship, but PA wouldn't do it and I've found out that I don't want to either. I like being with him.

I was once with a guy.. He lived a hour max away? and Nah I couldn't stand it. Just the whole random meetings like.. finishing work and being hey want to get something to eat? 'Yeh see you in 5!' and all stuff like that.. You have to be more planned and eurgh. Long distance doesn't really suit me.. Yet everyone I seem to talk to and think woah hes nice lives miles away!!!!

Always the way eh?

Long distance doesn't really suit me.

I don't think it 'suits' anyone (or at least hardly anyone), its just more difficult for some than others. I hate being in a long-distance relationship but I love my guy and we work far away from each other, so until we can move jobs to be closer to each other. Short of dumping him, I've got no option but to put up with it.

Had one relationship that required me to endure a 45 minute bus ride. The trips became too expensive so I dumped him over the phone. I was young, but that was no excuse. Mind you, I was able to buy a groovy hat and a replica T-Bird jacket with the money I saved :redface:

The best relationship of my life was a six-month long-distance relationship. The distance nearly killed it, but we persevered. My parents killed it, as he was four years older than me. x) I learned a lot from it, no regrets whatsoever.

I have, i lived in UK, he lived in Canada, i was going to see him this summer, we were getting on so well, then i realized that he was a complete dick basically, he didnt really care for anything but sex, i really miss him, he was really awesome and really cute, until i found the real side of him

I suppose the saying is true...long distance relationships never work out :'(

How long do you have to be in one to find out? :confused:

In my experience, it doesn't work. And it certainly doesn't for me. I'm a much too physical person, and I NEED the intimacy.

I admire those who make it work, but can't help feeling you're settling for something less.
