Searching Our Love

posted by cupid on Jul 18

Online dating can be considered as a part of long distance relationship. In fact, maybe most of long distance relationships begin from online dating.
My current long distance relationship started from online dating. I have joined several muslim matrimonial websites since October 2006.

Why did I join online dating service?
With the type of job I had at that time, it was difficult to meet someone new, offline. I travel a lot and new people I met were all clients.
Friends and family introduced me to men, but no chemistry. And with the local man’s character, I don’t think I will find the man who has my criteria.
Since I spent most of my spare time online, I decided to consider online dating service in search of my life partner.
My purpose: to get married. Nothing else. I’m tired of living alone and being alone after my parents died and my younger sis got married, I need togetherness. I’ve lost my “home”. Read the rest of this entry »

You always said you’d never do it. It looked too challenging, too risky, too nerve-wracking. People that did this sort of thing were crazy…gluttons for punishment. But then despite your best intentions it happened to you.

You found yourself in the throes of a long distance love affair.

Will you make it out of this alive? Probably so. Will you escape with your sanity? Odds are with you. Will you come out of it hand in hand with the object of your affection? This part is up to you and your partner alone. Success is possible and even probable if you both commit yourselves to the challenge…but like ANY relationship it is going to take a little bit o’ work. But lucky for you I have done the research and compiled a handy dandy list of tips to help you go the distance…

Laying out your parameters…

I know, I know…rules, schmules…but if you want your geographically challenged relationship to survive they are pretty much vital. The good news is there are no specific set of rules, you two simply need to be on the same page. Exclusivity, frequency and times of communication, rate of visits, etc. are some of the things that need to be discussed and agreed upon…as well as determining when you will cease to be distanced. It is good to have a mutual goal that you are working towards, after all.

Talk, talk, talk about it…

I put it second on my list, but communication is of course the number one most important part of any relationship, and it is even more so when you are separated from one another. Without a way to bond physically each day, keeping your emotional bond strong and healthy is essential. And thanks to technology, you really have no excuse. Phone calls, e-mails, text messages, webcams; they all can help you keep the lines of communication wide open.

As far as what you need to be communicating about, well…think about any close relationship. You need to stay connected to each other’s daily lives, as well as connected to one another intimately. Have your sweet moments, and have your laughs too. Lean on one another for support after a bad day. This is what couples do, after all.

Depression comes in many forms and arrives at your doorstep with bags packed and looking to stay a while. Surviving long distance relationship depression can be even tougher on you, because of the obvious distance and lack of closeness you feel with your partner. I’m going to cover some tips I found helpful when I was suffering from long distance relationship depression at times in my life.

Fail To Plan, Plan To Fail

I found that planning time for my long distance relationship depression was as important. I was trying to cope with being upset, and I didn’t want to ruin the conversation with my partner. So I planned my grieving time earlier in my day so I could get it out of my system before our nightly talk. So planning time to deal with your long distance relationship depression is key to avoiding it altogether. Remember, you can spread long distance relationship depression pretty easy by having a few ‘downer’ conversations with your partner – pretty soon they’ll be coming down with it too!

Share A Passion With Your Partner

I found a good cure for my long distance relationship depression, was to share my passions with my partner. I loved nothing more than talking on the phone or over MSN with web cams. When I had warm, heartfelt conversations with my partner, we felt united, the distance became closer. I almost forgot about my long distance relationship depression until I hung up the phone or turned off the laptop. I found I had to draw on those warm and caring feelings in the times we couldn’t communicate – and this helped me cope with my long distance relationship depression.
