Chile be glad he wants to do things a lil like right. cuz errahh maybe a olive branch and making your love official to God and the world is more important than a rock. Knowwhatmean?
I will be forwarding jobs like a mug. 
Our plan? The man is from Philly and hates it as much as I do... he has a big family and I know he will miss them but like he says, he is a grown man and grown men need to be selfish sometimes. It's only been 3 weeks, I'm pathetic The ring? See why you had to call me out on the ring? I was a little demanding when I mentioned what I liked 
but... reality hit me and we're good now. I think.
. Ain't being in love grand?
Chile his first visit you'll be at the airport with butterflies and that coogee poppin Chile don't press about the huge rock right off if you guys are trying to get to the same place and space. Stay strong in prayer and find a good church for ya'll down in Texas. I gotta tell ya though they gon put ya'll in couple counseling and suggest ya'll live separate for a hawt minute. 
Thanks for answering my many evasive silly questions. Your just into the LDR and that bootay is going craaaazay
Oh I like when he said "I'm a grown man and sometimes grown men have to be selfish"
.. while still allowing me to provide my daughter with a safe and stable home environment. I never really wanted to bring a man into our home while she was growing up... she did know and like him, but he wasn't a permanent fixture in our household, while at the same time he was around sometimes and we did take vacations together with the kids during the summer, so all in all, it was a very nice relationship. 
How much distance are we talking about??
I was in a LDR (NY/MD) for 6 years. He came to see me every other weekend, but still... it really wasn't enough. To me it was never a "real" relationship. And it probably only lasted that long because we weren't together on a daily basis.
HOWEVER... it did serve its purpose for both of us. We both have children, so we worked it out where we would spend our "free weekends" together, so it surely did allow us to fulfill our, ::clears throat:: needs, nah mean?
But for two people with no children, I would NOT recommend a LDR, unless there are definite plans for one person to move closer in the near future.
Just my 2 cents!!
He is in PA and I am now in TX. We have been together for a while and he is talking about marriage and babies and scaring me.
I cannot spend another year away from him. That's how I feel right at this minute. He feels the same way, we don't just want an extended relationship Im scared to say this but I think we both want marriage.
I have to go lay down across the bed now Lindy, because I can't even believe I just typed that.

I never read it stated better
). This semester is different and I've only seen him twice since the end of August and we're struggling a little.
Sigh.
Woo hoo replies :superbanana:
Cocoaluv- Good suggestions, thanks. Both of us are so busy with work, etc. that we don't do e-mail but we do talk/text twice a day which is good. You're right, communication is important... we're trying to make it work.
Hil84figer- Thanks for those links. I am going to look through those for inspiration
Mzlady- Was 2-3 months too long? I know that I'd like to see him every month if I could but with work and all... you know how that goes.
firecracker-
His goal was to relocate by December but companies are looking at their bottom lines at the end of the yr and not really hiring. So Feb-March? I really don't want to shack up and I know this is the best way... As for a plan, I know that he is excited to move to Texas but wants to have a good job so he's applying and interviewing, etc. The plan is just to see each other as often as possible (I'll visit after Thanksgiving, he will visit me and my family at Christmas, etc.) so that we don't start acting up.

It's just unrealistic. I'm sooo not into that "missing you all the time" heartachey feeling that comes along with LDR's. Nope. I'd rather be alone...
Wow, you all are talking about LDR's where you see each other every 2 or 3 months or longer??!! That's insane. I was seeing my guy every other weekend and that still didn't seem like enough for me. I don't know, but I'm the kind of woman who needs to see her man OFTEN. Otherwise, no thank you...
Plus you have to have A LOT of trust in your guy otherwise you can drive yourself nuts wondering if he's seeing anyone. He also has to be a certain type of guy because many men like to have a woman around on the regular, if ya know what I mean...

Sorry, no advice to give, but I sho hope me and Boo don't have to do the LDR thing. @ the bolded!
I've been in a LDR for almost 2 years. For awhile we were seeing each other almost every weekend and things were good(though it got a lot annoying for me riding Greyhound every Friday
There's a LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT of trust involved in a LDR.
It can be very frustrating. Makes me wanna punch all the normal couples I see.
and he is working that out
