Relationships are always difficult when you want time to yourself, even if its not alot!

I don't think it would be any different than having any other relationship. Just communicate when you want your "me time" or when you are ready to do something. Any cons of the situation can be worked out through talking I would think.

Pros? uh, you don't need to put up very much effort to see eachother? I suppose to me thats a far greater pro being that I'm 3 and a half hours away from my boyfriend. So maybe I'm just not thinking straight.

Unless this girl is crazy and you think she'll be climbing your tree to enter your window at random points in the day I really wouldn't think living too close is an issue.

Hahahahahaha ! I was just thinking of that and considering to add this to my post

Yeah I've had 2h relationships too. The journey is boring, the meeting is magic, the leaving is heart-breaking and the coming home is depressing... I'm yet wondering if short distance won't affect our passion. Knowing your boyfriend's across the street, doesn't this make less of an interest ? Having less "ohh I wanna know what he's doing, he's my hero" moments ?

Well I've never been in the situation so I guess I can't really say, however I'd like to think I'd have more enthusiasm in any relationship I'm in!

Does living with a person mean you'd lose that spark? Nope, not enough to make the relationship less worthwhile anyways. Otherwise we'd all be in long distance relationships! And just because you are on the same street doesn't mean you won't go on dates or anything right? The interest will be there as long as you don't just sit on a couch all day together watching re-runs. If thats the case then I'd think anyone would lose interest.

haha if you want be her hero then mow her lawn or bring her flowers! You're still going to have to earn to be the hero in her eyes just like everyone else

And your description of long distance relationships is so true. I hate it...

Her father is a gardener so I better not challenge him on this area!

You're completely right, the lady doesn't have to dig back in memories to know that she loves me ; it's my job to remind her why she loves me !
(hoping everything will happen in this relationship's favour)


Sorry for that Best luck still. Your boyfriend must be lucky to have you for accepting such a distance

if anyone else has any further comment/story to tell don't hesitate a'ight.

i figure.. even people who are crazy about eachother need alone time.

if she's right for you and she's cool ..she'll get that and won't be pissy if you dont want to hang out and just be alone.

just don't over do it and kill the relationship
yaknow like ..playing a new favorite song over and over again ..until you can't stand to listen to it anymore

and i guess i'd say ..if you NEED to be nearly inaccessible to create passion ..thats probably not healthy either.

if you're right for eachother it shouldn't really matter.

take it easy -- those are just a few ideas that popped out.
I'm not continuously playing with a girl's emotions or patience to make her dying to see me. I agree that if we're both cool and take this seriously things will run just smoothly.
But yeah I think we all can say that we need some time off but it's not like I would kick her out for coming by susprise

haha I know where you are coming from, "me time" just doesn't come often enough sometimes! I just don't think where she lives really affects your free time or the passion.

Just make sure that IF there are any problems you address them quickly. Talk over whats working and whats not.

AND stay off her lawn so her dad doesn't freak out.
