What's the point in being with someone if you can't see them when you want to? Isn't it the same as just being lonely? The only difference is that you're lonely and maybe you get a phone call. But once the calls stop coming, then you're just back to being lonely and even more miserable. I would rather cut out the middle step and concentrate on finding someone in the same area code and or zip code. If you're gonna have a girlfriend, you might as well have a girlfriend, not just a phone buddy. That's why I don't deal with long distance relationships. My friends tried them, and they have their own stories to tell." "My girlfriend switched colleges after her second year and moved 300 miles away. At first, I didn't mind. I figured I'll get some time to myself and when I see her the time would be more special. But it didn't work out that way. As soon as she left I realized what I was missing. There were more opportunities out there, opportunities I didn't notice since my girlfriend was in town. I had one of two choices, continue in this long distance relationship even though I don't believe in long distance relationships; or I could break up with her and continue with my life and let her live hers. So, I did the latter. It turns out she was about to call me and say the same thing. I guess we both knew that long distance relationships weren't for us. We are happy with our new relationships and sometimes even hang out when we're in the same city. But outside of that, we couldn't handle it."
