It's hard enough to make local relationships work, but having miles and sometimes even an ocean between you makes it even more difficult. However, successful long distance relationships can and do exist. It will survive as long as you are willing to work it out...but how to give yours every chance to survive and thrive?

I like long distance relationships. Prerequisite is that you are not jealous and donot have a jealous or paranoid partner.
Seeing each other every now and then makes the time spent together more worthy (make the absolute best of the few days you have together) and somehow you feel closer to the other person compared to living together.

Hi Paloma

Honestlty i guess ur right , its hard to make a realtionship with a local man works , i can honestly say am a UAE girl from arab desent in a long distance realtionship with a man from the other side of the world and am happy with it , so defnetly i perfer LDR cuz i believe some ppl can find there other half or true love in this kind of satuation, it really depends on what god wrote for you , when ull meet ur soulmate? or where, personally i believe that the right person doesnt have to be from the same country or the same nationality .....ppl should really think out of the box lolz...anyway no offense but thats my opinion PEACE OUT!!!!!

But you can still meet if it is long distance and those meetings are enjoyed more because of the absence. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."

Of course long distance relationships can work, but you have to put in the effort. Plus it's so much easier these days with phones, skype etc etc.

Classic example is my parents, been together since they were 14, my father has worked abroad on numerous occassions leaving my mother behind either on her own or to raise me and my brother, but they made it work and they're still together.

Of course it's better! Bit that doesn't mean that circumstances don't sometimes mean that people are sometimes apart.

Knight, you seem like my kind of moderator. Back on JBR community we had a mod who was up his own ar*e. I think I may have held the record for the most posts deleted in one day without being banned. I'm afraid I can be very naughty.
BTW I like both kinds of relationships but I'm safer with local.

We get a lot of stick for being Mods, but here is the response I gave to one poster who accused us of deleting anything that is 'anti-Dubai'. Unfortunately you would not get to see it as it ended up in Fight Club...

"In defense of the Mods, we are often the ones poking fun or even the most hardline critics of the UAE! We have been appointed to 'police' the forum, not be a 'police state'. Therefore good old Freedom of Speech comes first and foremost and then keeping the garden tidy and the playpen clean comes second.

From a personal perspective I will not Mod a post unless there are deeply personal insults, bad language above and beyond the norm, confidential information disclosed such as forum members real names or phone numbers, incitement to a criminal act or open phishing and spamming. If you want to fill your posts with meaningless drivel, then go ahead...whatever floats your boat. Other members may then pillory you and throw verbal cabbages at your head, but then that's your own fault. I will stand and watch!

One look in the Political Forum will show that the tennis match of political and racial opinion can get down and dirty from time to time, but very little (if any) content is edited or attacked by the Mods.

To say we will instantly throw anything that is negative to Dubai into FC is naiive and there are many knocking threads out there to prove it.

I also don't have any problem with using expletives with * or $ or @ substituted for the real letters. The programming automatically changes the worst words and it allows members to be f*cking creative from time to time...

Knight"

So there you go...

As for the relationship thing, as long as she has a pulse...it suits me!
