Dating help - Long Distance dating is not for the weak at heart. If you are just looking to date around, it may be more than you wish to invest in. Here are some points to consider when making the decision of whether or not long distance dating is for you.

I want you to be honest with yourself – Do you feel that you could trust someone in another city, state/province or country? Or is the fear of them cheating on you to great?

Here are some Dating Help Tips…

To be successful you really do need a commitment between each other

You need both the ability and flexibility to date long distance

Trust is a must!

The Center for Long Distance Relationships did a study a few years back and concluded that if you could get to the one year point of your long distance relationship your relationship had a 92% success rate in comparison to the 58% success rate at the six month point. I personally found that fascinating since my marriage evolved from two years of long distance dating.

When Robert and I first met we knew we had something special and something worth investing in. We recognized that spark between us was one of the “once in a lifetime” experiences and we both did not want to lose that. In other words, we had commitment between each other.

You really have to have not only the desire to long distance dating but have the ability and flexibility to do so. We were not just in different cities or states/provinces, we were in different countries! Keep in mind there are real expenses involved as well.

Take travel for instance, whether it be gas or airfare, what and how often will your budget allow? Does your job/profession allow you the flexibility to travel? We were blessed, we both have professions that had that flexibility and salaries that allowed us to travel back and forth every two weeks. These are just some of the basic realities that need to be considered when deciding if this is for you.

Trust is a MUST!!!! This is a biggie….if you are not comfortable spending a weekend here and there by yourself, then you may wish to reconsider this type of dating. If you are going to put your life on hold by worrying about what your companion is doing when you are apart then this truly is not the way for you.

You truly have to be able to live your life both together and apart with ease. If you need to know their every move, you do not have the trust needed to make this type of dating work. Both Robert and I had (and still have) that level of trust between each other. We also had no problem with each other doing there own thing when apart. We dated for two years and saw each other every other weekend and during holidays.

Long distance dating is not for everyone and only you know if it could work for you. Keep in mind the tips shared and whatever you dating style is make it HAPPY and MEMORABLE!!!!

WARNING: Do not blow off the possibility of a long distance relationship, simply keep in mind this tried and true dating help!
