new girl

i just got a new girl, it took a while, still havent really gotten over my last completely, but i love how this one is going, when we are together its not nothing can go wrong, but it sucks because we live 2 hours apart, different colleges, i go to SFA in Nacogdoches and she ges to A&M in College Station. well this gas is killing me and the time apart, not to meantion my phone bill.
my question is have any of yall done this, being soo far apart and did it work. i seriously think this is the one! if yall dont remeber from about a month and a half ago, that the last girl treated me like shit and i almost killed my self over her, and ya'll all stood there by my side and told me to be strong, well i did and i met her. thanks every1, ya'll are the best.

I've done it before. In fact, now that I think about it, this is my 3rd time. I met my first wife while travelling through Atlanta. She moved here and we were married for 16 years and had 2 kids. The marriage was a mistake , but that's a different story.
My second wife I knew when we were 15, and our families moved, so I didn't see her till 4 years ago. She was 1500 miles from me. I moved there and we got married. She is a wonderful person, but I wasn't right for her. Strike 2.
My current gf was another girl I knew from a small school when we were 14/15. same thing. I saw her 8 years ago at a reunion and there were sparks, but the distance got in the way. I called her this past Dec. and we have been together since. She lives about 450 miles from me, and won't be able to move here till this fall sometime. It is not easy, but if you both love each other, it can work. I tend to be devoted in a relationship, and if I am with someone I want to have in my life, I won't let miles get in my way. It takes a lot of dedication, trust and patience on both parts, but the reward of being with the one I love makes it worth going through with the right person.
I wish you the best Bro. I'll try to answer any questions I can. Two hours seems like a lot, but it could be worse. I hope she feels the same about you, and you two make it.

I know how it is bro ! but I think it will work if you really want it too ! good luck and keep your head up !

delta, get a cell phone.....most offer free nights and weekends and free "like service to like service"......that way you're just paying one monthly fee instead of getting eaten up by long distance charges

congrats bro, you should be fine. it will make seeing her in person that much more exciting

I lived in Ohio and my wife was in Georgia for 8 months until I moved there. We split up and I moved to VA and we kept a long distance relationship for three years. Talk about expensive, plane tickets, gas, hotel rooms but we got married and have been happily for about 8 months. Damn I must be brain dead already.

Good luck anything is possible Delta

i am currently pondering this with my current gf ...but the problem is that my last gf ended like this as well and didnt work out...it was exciting going somewhere new and enjoying each others company but like Saks said it got expensive but i think this one is worth it.....if you feel it in your heart than it is to be..if not...dont waste your time

1st of all no girl is ever worth taking your own life, I show u much respect for not taking yours, and second of all it is hard to find good girls these days, so if you care about her as much as you say you do, then she is worth every penny lost.

i got a cell, i have sprint and she has at&t, i have free nights and weekends and free sprint to sprint, but since we have different services it doesnt help til the night, so i dont really get to talk to her that much during the day, and that sucks, b/c my last bill was 400 bucks. but we are making it work, and its great and i hope it will in the future! thanks bros

Happy you met someone bro, no matter how bad shit feels IT ALWAY"S GETS BETTER. The distance between you sucks but you can make it work. Sometimes I would like to send my girl 2 hours away. lol.

lol

When I was in the states in college - I was in the SF Bay Area, and my gf was in LA area. Every other weekend, I drove 6 hours down the I5 to see her for a day or two. It was great when we together, hell when we were apart. For both of us.

Weird thing is... you get used to have the long distance thing... then we she moved back up to the Bay Area... we ended up breaking up. Too weird being around each other all the time.

Anyway... glad you found someone for now. I would say stick with it as long as it makes you happy, but stay open to more local possibilities as they come your way.
