8000 Miles Apart WOW

[Prescious]

Yeah I think this one takes the cake Nobody here I'm sure has a relationship this far except me We've been dating now since Sept 2010. We talk everyday and video chat everyday and our relationship is so wonderful. I feel like I've known him in a previous lifetime. Our chemistry is greatl. We plan on meeting in person for the very first time around April of this year. He's going to pay for my plane ticket to India. We may even get married while I'm there. Here's my question though, has anybody here been in a long distance relationship where you only video chat for months, well what happened when you finally met in person? Was the chemistry still the same? Was it better? Do tell

My SO and I are 11,500 miles apart.

Just sayin'.

But to your question: We chatted/had Skype talks for 4 - 5 months before finally meeting in person and it was heavenly. We were shy at first, but we had the same chemistry (if not more).

Me and my SO have been together for almost two years and we haven't met yet. For the longest time, we were only able to text and send pictures to each other. last month he got a laptop with a webcam so we've been trying to video chat everyday We're gonna meet in June (or so i hope!) and I believe that there will be more chemistry then we have now ^^ Good luck with everything in your relationship! <3

Welcome to LFAD. For us, the chemistry was better.

Have a great trip, but just remember to take care of yourself and think of yourself first. Make sure you have a back-up plan in the off-chance it goes badly or you don't mesh. the first meeting is so exciting and filled with so much positivity that it can be hard to remember to think of the potential downfalls, but please - make sure you do spend a little bit of time to prepare yourself in case it happens. Because it can and does.

I hope you'll reconsider getting married on the first time, because you're going to have so many new emotions and things to do - plus your family deserves the chance to meet the guy you're gonna marry, too!

8000 miles here. Closed now of course.

Everything was pretty well the same for us. Everyone was telling me "you don't know him til you meet him" but that was just bull. Granted, we'd been talking 5 years at that point.
Have a great time in India!

10,000 miles here, so don't feel alone

[London-FortCollins]

Me and my SO only skyped once in the 4 months before we met (although only 2 of those months were as a couple) because we never had a good enough connection.

We messaged and talked on the phone for hours a day though.

The first time you meet is a whirlwind of excitment and emotions. But it is sensible to try and be practical too.

One morning I woke up before him and spent a long time just sitting and thinking practically. "Can we make this work?" "How do I REALLY feel or am I swept away in the romance?" "Is he worth it?"

Lucky for me even with the soul searching my answers were the right ones!

But it honestly does make a big difference to step outside your emotions for a short time to think honestly and practically.

Also 8,000 miles apart here, so technically you aren't the only one like others have said before.
Really for all of us here, the distance doesn't matter... if you are 250 miles or 12,500 miles, we all have one thing in common we love our SO who is so far far away. I have been with my magical SO coming up to 15 months and we met last Christmas in person. All I can say when you meet for the first time don't set your expectation too high or you might be disappointed.

8983 miles apart! lol! but we knew eachother close distance before we started long distance, so can't really help you with your questions. But welcome to the forum!

[13000km]

8182 miles!

We had been talking for a year. I already had feelings for him before we met, but it was during our three weeks together that I decided that I wanted to be completely committed to him. Our time spent together solidified the feelings we had for each other, and everything felt so natural, like I knew him inside out and my being there was just the way it's supposed to be.

[missing-koko]

The thing, i think, is that when you skype or chat you talk alot about what is going to happen when you are finally together, whether it is the the first time or not. You get your expectations up and it is easy to be dissapointed. Personally i just try to remind myself that even though it won't be what i had imagined, it will be true and it will be together

If the chemistry is there is impossible to say. But i hope the best for you

[Kevz]

2400 miles for me. I met her in person though, but the best line of communication we use is Skype; it is always great to see your SO face again
