<p>I love KissmeKate and I guess long distance internet counts</p>
<p>haha, apparently. :)</p>
<p>I was in a long-distance relationship with a boy at MIT for nearly two years, and it didn't work out so well... It was ultimately too much of a strain for the relationship, even when I got into Harvard and had a chance to be nearby.</p>
<p>Long story short, it was awful, but now we're both free to fully experience college. I'm going to Princeton, where I felt most at home-- I think I would've missed out if we hadn't terminated the relationship.</p>
<p>In other words, I think there's a chance it might work, but I also think it's very limited and that it'll be very hard. If she's "the one," you'll find her eventually. It's still incredibly early in your life... You'll find yourself needing the time to explore, and so will she.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree with sweetmariaj. Essential you need to "sow your wild oats" as it is said. Basically, go bone a bunch of hot college girls cause you won't be able to do it after you graduate...then get married once its outta your system.</p>
<p>Uh, haha... That wasn't exactly what I meant.</p>
<p>Well, the French way to do it is to date many girls, maybe four or five a week, and then you pick one to date long-term... And if you ever have to move apart, you simply start the cycle all over again. What is love without a physical relationship, without hugs and handwritten love note masterpieces written in a mad frenzy of passion? </p>
<p>If your long-distance girlfriend says "no no" to other girlfriends, dump her!</p>
<p>Ahaha. Very interesting posts guys. Haha The french way =P</p>
<p>i agree with sweetmariaj.</p>
<p>From the viewpoint of parent as observer--I have known a FEW cases where the relationship did survive the years & separation, but very few. It is much more common for each person in the relationship to date/see others & then later when the couple can be physically in the same town/city, perhaps see whether they are still interested in furthering the relationship.</p>
<p>Personally, I was never able to sustain any of my long-distance loves, even tho we had contemplated marriage before being separated by thousands of miles each time. It is tough because when you're separated, you are both experiencing so much & growing in so many ways & can't fully share this with your loved one. I have admired folks who have been able to sustain their long distance loves and end up with a great marriage--(for that matter we know a few couples who have commuter marriages, tho that is REALLY wearing as well).</p>
<p>lol well thats what I got out of it...that's one of my college goals anyway...but in French style...</p>
<p>They don't work IMO. Atleast for me it didn't work very well. You miss the person more than you should have to, it isn't worth it.</p>
<p>HarlemNY. What's IMO mean? hah. sorry i don't get that part. I know that it's not always gonna work. I think i should clarify my question more, "Input on chances of HS relatioship lasting?"</p>
<p>IMO means in my opinion.</p>
