I've been in a long distance relationship. It's not worth it unless you live at least in dating distance with the other person. It leads to heartache. I loved a girl in Texas (I live in PA) and one day, I just said **** it. We told each other we loved each other multiple times everyday, but it wasn't worth the struggle.
I will do my best to reply with an educated, humble and honest answer. Ultimately, it is up to you whether you want to listen to my advice or ignore it completely. Sometimes, my advice may be wrong; occasionally, it will be right. Regardless, I want to do my best to give people answers they are seeking.
