Don't take it so literally next time Skip..."older" does not equal "old" per se.

Re: Long Distance (ABSOLUTELY no content)
[ QUOTE ]
I am about to enter my 3rd year of long-distance hell with my girlfriend. we dated for 2 years in highschool and 2 in college. I see her every 5 or 6 weeks, and we spend our vacations together. So i have been there longer than you are even planning to be. I would say the most important thing to do is make sure you have lots of visits. We do one every 5 weeks roughly, and that weekend is devoted entirely to each other. Definitely clear your schedule fully before you/she visits. if you have a test, study early. If you can't afford plane tickets, drop down a limit and use your bankroll. That is, if your girlfriend is in fact more important to you than your bankroll. (sw) As long as you make sure you see her as much as you can in the time that you are apart, you should be able to last. 12 months after 7 months will be tough, but at least that's the last time you'll ever have to do it. [/ QUOTE ] Wow, 3 years...that's incredible you guys have stayed together that long. Is there an end in sight? Thanks for the story...

Re: Long Distance (ABSOLUTELY no content)
My fiancee and I did it for 2 years (we're getting married next weekend). Email and/or talk on the phone everyday to keep the communication open and keep up on each others lives. Worked for us, after overcoming that obstacle the rest has been easy (5 years and counting).

My grad program is 12 months, she graduates from undergrad at same time and then we are planning to go live in a city somewhere in US or Canada. Preferably with a casino nearby:P [/ QUOTE ] If its only a year, and you plan to see each other all the time, stick with her. I dated a girl who lived in Europe for 3 years - lots of cool trips, but ultimately a waste unless there is a plan to live together.

Re: Long Distance (ABSOLUTELY no content)
I would not move away from a woman that I was serious about for school or work. But, I am a fool.
I think you should have posted this in the Dear Citanul thread.

Re: Long Distance (ABSOLUTELY no content)
Well, how much do you like talking to your gf on the phone? Because I can't bloody stand talking to anyone on the phone, let alone my gf for hours. I'd have to drink a six pack of heineken every day just to keep from cutting her head off.
