Mina i believe distance should'nt be a an issue if you realy love the person. I dated this guy who stays 20minutes away from me and i only saw him like once in a month and my current boyfriend is at Rustenburg mara i can feel his presence with me everyday.Dont let your love to be discouraged by the distance just focus on what you feel because its not everytime that people find their true loves. Love you, Kenneth Nyiko Baloi.

For some reason I have always had these type of relationships since I was divorced.
The furthest was a 3hour drive but I used public transport and it took about 5hours to get there on the Friday and the best part of the sunday to get home.
I am now in a relationship where there is a 1 1/2 hour round trip drive but 2 hours on public transport. I am a glutton for punishment lol. If there is an easy way and a hard way I always choose the hard way!

A couple living in different countries, such as myself, living in United Kingdom and my girlfriend living in Ghana. She is 6.50 to 8 hours away.... Also the amount of time between the time you see each other as well.

'Long distance' is all relative to whether you can tolerate and sustain it or not. My current gf is about 100 miles away, but I like to drive and I also like my own space to an extent, so in those terms, distance isn't really a problem...

 The physical distance of course plays a role. I'm not sure if it should be measured in terms of time. I would rather measure it in terms of difficulty to be together.
Once, I knew about a couple who were over 1,000 kilometers apart. But, they saw each other every two weeks, and they called each other often. I'm not sure if this is longer distance than a couple who attends the same college but barely see each other during the weekend, and then go to different places on holidays. Specially if they have different groups of friends and they don't always hang out together.
If three hours were all that kept me away from my girl, I would be happy to drive that much every weekend. I would travel there every Friday night and return home early in the morning.

reader, anonymous, writes (24 July 2007): well as far as i define it, its any distance where its difficult or a lot of effort to see each other due to travelling (costs and time). for some people they would consider this several hours away but with my boyfriend he lives 2 hours away and i consider long distance because sometimes we go a couple of weeks without seeing each other because neither of us have the time to travel and money to pay for it! i think this is very individual to the situation you find yourself in!
