Distance relationship

Go for it
You'll regret it if you don't

go for it, and if you are looking for something serious, try that as well
I met a girl online that lived ~1200km away and we are getting married next month.
granted we don't live that far apart anymore, but did for about 2 years
it's possible but obviously takes commitment and isn't always easy, but that goes for any kind of relationship

Go for it. I'm like >>18576828 in terms of distance -- USA to UAE -- except my girl left me after two years last week. Even in the depths of misery and depression I'm still glad we had something for two years. It made me happy.

As someone who lives in the western US with a bf of 3 years in the UK, I'd say go for it. The strongest relationships become serious and if it isn't strong enough, then it was just meant to be fun. Make an effort to meet her when you've been dating a few months at least, because meeting confirms a lot of things.

just an innocent off topic question
how do you meet someone online?
seems like a weird concept to me

>>18576804
don't. LDRs are a meme.
You are setting yourself up for failure.

>>18576804
>Should I acknowledge that there's a strong chance of failure and just focus on us having fun?

I think this is closest to what I'd advise but it'd be more along the lines of:

Walk in with a healthy sense of realism (because even 100km can make this heard let along 3 times that), but don't let that hold you back you from enjoying yourselves.

Don't ever walk in to anything with blind optimism,
But don't ever let fear of what could go wrong, destroy even a moment of your potential happiness.
Because cowardice and regret are toxic beyond belief and often have a way of haunting you in a way that hurt feelings never could.

As the anon in the US/UK relationship, I definitely second this. Great advice.
