You can ask just about anyone and they will tell you that they have long distance relationships and or friendships.
But as you get to talking they will certainly tell you that long-distance relationships don't work well often if they are romantic ones.
Not long ago, a well-traveled acquaintance explained this to me, and I tend to agree.
Indeed, perhaps like you, I have many long-distance friends all over the world, some I've never met, it's no problem, we communicate by email.
And some I have met, like my acquaintance for instance, that was a cool chance meeting, as they are intelligent and "with it" as most people's brains are turned off.
In fact, I don't know how you can handle it themselves as they live in an area where folks are simple and laid back, not an intellectual goldmine if you will.
Indeed, they seem to be too far above the norm there.
My acquaintances made the following statement and then asked an interesting question as well; "Some people like long distance because there's less interaction, but that's not a plus for me; How about you?" Interestingly enough, my answer was; "I don't know, it doesn't bother me," you see, I just imagine I am in a coffee shop, book store, chamber of commerce meeting, conference, resort lobby, etc.
talking to them? I suppose in the future holographic imagery will solve the problems with long-distance communication and bring back the body language aspect, because it's been researched that 60-75% of all communication is body language, eye contact, etc.
And luckily I am getting good with writing after those 20,850 articles with written expression, so for me it's not too bad you see? Before, I was constantly on the cell phone, but I question the brainwave interference and potential risks to brain cells in that microwave frequency range.
And, I do not think lots of cell phone use is good, despite the denials of the industry, of course, there is a lot of money involved to suppress the risks too, so like anything, it's hard to trust studies and research because those funding it all have a lot to lose, it's like anything else I suppose, not complaining about it, just a little skeptical, perhaps leery, but less than paranoid about it.
After all, it is low power not like it used to be with the original 3 watt phones.
So, it's okay to have friends, and even carry-on relationships which are long-distance, but if they are the romantic type of relationships, it's probably ill advised, and will only lead to more frustration.
Indeed, it is my sincere hope that you will please consider all this, and think on it.
