I haven't been in a relationship for some while now. Recently I met this guy on a social network it turns out we met some years back but I was really into him and we decided to pick things up. We talk almost everyday he seem to be nice and I think I have fallen for his charm but what worries me is "is it going to work out " I want advice and if possible anyone who's in a long distance any advice?

only if u have something similar like my DP

Zarzar comman say something

Things that kills ( social media) relationships fast.
* Presenting yourself to be who you are not
* Lies
* Raising expectations of the other person about you.
* Lack of communication skills/ topics.

Yes it works, off course it depends on both of you.
*Just be yourself
* Never raise unnecessary expectations about yourself
* Be a good communicator
* give him something to look forward to.

Good luck.

Distant relationships are a no-no for me. Most of the girls I've had sex with had boyfriends schooling/working at a distant location. Not that they don't love their partners but nothing can replace that physical presence.

It's hard for distant relationships to work out, one of you Will cave in Eventually unless it's an open relationship and both of you don't care weda or not you see other people

It's not true.
As long as you have something to talk about. But talking everyday is not necessary though.

pls share your experience

It will work if you guys want it to work. I'm also in the same situation. My relationship with my girlfriend is more than two years for now and my girlfriend hasn't stepped in Nigeria since we started. But I'm very sure she is faithful while I'm also trying my best here even though there are alot of temptations on my side here, but I'm trying my best not to fall. All you guys have to do is keep communication steady, your trust should be strong and then be mature and patience in tackling issues that arise anytime. I'm sure it will work if you guys want it to work.

long distance relationships do work out.
definitely there will be sour moments and those moments when things seem dry and uninteresting but if both parties are committed, those moments will pass.

A great thing to do when you have to moments is to reminisce... ask him if he remembers how you met, what you had on, the things you said...
it's a psychological process that brings back the feelings that were flowing during the early stages of the relationship.

Another thing in long distance relationships is communication. A lot of people mistake communication for talking everyday on the phone... it's more than that. It's the things that are said that matter. Are you ho*rny? Let your partner know. Are you lonely, let him know... Never be shy or afraid to tell him how you feel. If he has been seeming distant, call him out on it.

Last pointer i'll give is WATCH YOUR FRIENDS. They can ruin your sh*t. If he seems distant, don't take it to your friends...don't take it to social media. They will help you light matches and burn your relationship. Call your partner and discuss it. Always keep the relationship matters in-house.
And i'm going to add this...even if he cheats, DO NOT take it outside...if it is the first time, give a second chance...don't throw something great away because of one mistake. If it is a repeat occurrence, then you may have to walk.

Goodluck with your relationship

First thing, you have to define your relationship, are you just dating or it is something serious that will lead to marriage, if not, there's no point wasting time.
Been in a LDR isn't easy, it takes both party to make it work.
I've been in LDR for more than 2 years, and it is working fine but not easy, like I said earlier, the relationship must be defined, know what you want.
For me and my girl, we have had our ups and downs, we do fight, but mustn't past 48hrs before it must be settled and we go back to normal.
We communicate, I mean communicate everyday, tell each other what's going on in our daily life. Our communication is through any avenue.
Keep everything to yourself, don't let third party knows about bad times in your relationship. Most of the time you get wrong advice.
Set aside time to visit each other and make plans about interesting things to do and place to visit, and make sure each meeting or visitation is a thing to remember and talk about.
Work on your intimacy so much, let your partner knows if you're Hot. If possible, you guys can sex chat.
But the principal thing is to make sure the relationship is defined, don't just waste time and emotion on what will never be.
