Very true.

For the fans of the canceled series (it got too expensive) "Space, above and beyond" these words are familiar. They even started a war in that universe...

"Take a chance"

Who knows, there could be someone on this forum that you'll hook up with...


We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
Henry V, St. Crispin Day speech

that doesn't really make any sense...unless you meant that we'd all die from boredom if we didn't take risks.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... I had some long-distance relations and they didn't last long. It's hard to wait for so long just to see your lover 1 or 2 days. I think it's even harder when they live in another country.

Ahh yes, a classic problem. Listen maybe lowering the shield a little wouldn't hurt, so that way you can try to get a bf, but not actually getting hurt in the process. If you want to talk PM me if you need someone to talk to. I have friends who deal with the exact same problem. I have never had a long distance relationshiiip, but I've always wanted to see how it would turn out.

iono how i feel about long distance relationships. on one hand, if u realy love each other, it'll be fine. on the other hand, it might not work out because you guys arent together.



So as long as i have you.

ok, I have to make sure: do you have someone in mind, or do you just want a long-distance japanese boyfriend?

just the way you worded it I guess has me wondering. personally, I'd find a more local relationship if you can. the thing about long-distance, is it's a lot easier for someone to put on a front. I'm totally down with you meeting someone locally, falling in love, and then if things go long-distance from there, keep up the relationship. but...having a long-distance relationship with someone you haven't met seems senseless to me. they could be anyone...and let's face it, you're falling in love with words. they can say whatever they want to, they can show you whatever pictures they want to. it's not the same.

I dunno...sure, people put up a front in person too...but it's easier to read the red flags. and then the other part about it...is you have a pre-conceived notion of what they're like...because of what they said to you. but how they write and how they act are two totally different things. typing gives you more opportunity to carefully think about what you say before you say it.

seriously...I think if you just up and decide to date someone long-distance without knowing them in person first, I think you're setting yourself up for disaster. it does have a chance...but is it really worth it, when there's plenty of people locally?

then again, maybe I've been hurt too many times by the lies I've been fed by online relationships to look on it that optimistically...I dunno.



thnx boboloko for the sig!

I've had a few. And for me they never work out.

Why? I want to show my love to that person. And that just doesn't work over the internet. For me to actual 'love' them I need to know and see them in real life first.

They don't work most of the time. Most of the time. But sometimes they can.
