DC to NY. Very cool chick, 5 year relationship probably an 9/10. You all could see each other every weekend if you wanted to(bus up, bus down).

Could you do it? And for how long if so. Worth it? I'd be the one moving to NY

Edited work details.

Easily doable. If you (and her) think it's worth it, things will work out.

Agreed. I have two friends who dated each other at age 18. One lived in LA and the other went to school in the Bay Area. Granted its in the same state and not across the country. They got married last year.

I just got into one 2-3 weeks ago... It's tough but if you communicate well, very doable.

The PoF thread just died a little.
 
its not even that far considering the travel corridor...you could go to and back in a few hours almost every other weekend for cheap(er)...take the chinatown bus its like $40 round trip

It's very possible and will happen if you both are truly committed to each other, but insecurities and temptations are very strong
 
It's doable if you see a future together and it's worth it. Also there's an endgame plan for you guys to be in the same city permanently. Every other relationship leading up to what you feel is potentially the last one though, not so much. May be a bit tougher and unnecessary.
 
It's very doable...you guys are fairly close. Me and my girl have been in a long distance relationship for about 3 out of the 5 years we've been together and those 3 years have been me in the states and her in Europe :lol:

Make sure to communicate and just be honest with each other and you'll be good
 
If you think she's the ONE...do it.

I think this girl (she's in SF, I'm in OC/ LA) is the game changer for me. Everything I want and look for in a partner. It can be scary, but try it out.
 
I worked with someone a few years ago who was doing this. His gf was in the DC area and he was living in NYC. They both met at Brown University when they were in undergrad. They've been making it work for a few years now. Every other week one of them would either go down or come up via bus.
 
I actually do know someone doing that now, DC to NY. They get married later this year (he's moving to DC to be with her).
 
Me and my girl are long distance. It's becoming more and more common nowadays with meeting each other at school, etc and more forms of communication. Just be mature about things and also be independent. Learn how to be happy spending time with yourself because you will have some lonely nights. Other than that, plan regular visits and enjoy
 
Did it before and it was so many arguments out of sexual frustration. Only time we didn't argue was when I was cheating.
 
hellllllllllllllllll nawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww


take it from a dude from experience that was cheated on in the most impossible situation ever :lol:
 
Props to you if you can do it...went good for 1 1/2 years but schooling got in the way and we weren't communicating that often. Now I'll avoid em like the devil
 
Definitely have to be on the same page with where yall gonna be when yall finally get together. I tried it once earlier this year because we both wanted to pursue our respective careers/futures where we currently live (MD, Norcal)


It honestly was my fault. Heat of the moment kinda committed to moving out there, but after
 
Did it for 8 months, back when calling cards existed. The sects was :smokin when we'd reunite...
 
Crazy to me how naive ppl are about long distance relationships at this point.

Could you do it? And for how long if so. Both of your careers are keeping you in your respective areas for the foreseeable future.

You scenario leaves a lot of key thing on if this could even work. Like how long has the relationship lasted up to this point?
 
I personally couldn't be in another LDR again. Way too much of a strain. Eventually texts, calls, web cams, and only seeing each other every couple months gets old, and temptations start to look like a forgone conclusion, especially if that temptation is on par with or maybe even better than your current partner (not just looks either).
