My boyfriend's in Los Angeles and I'm in North Carolina..

I used to live in LA, and I'm moving back there in a few months (I lived there for 3 years but had to come back East), but I need some advice on the long distance relationship thing. He's going to a Holiday Party tonight, and there are so many beautiful women there! I'm stuck for right now in a place where I have yet to find a cute boy (not that I'm looking.)

Any help from people LD relationships?

1. I Tell You What....

I'll do you a favor and not go to the party, and there's one less beautiful woman! ha....

JUST KIDDING...well nosehanans, to be perfectly honest you are in somewhat of a high risk situation here. I've known LD relationships to work, but most of the time especially with young people, things tend to drift. What you do is stay in touch without getting obsessive/needy with constant contact, and don't give him the third degree. So he looks forward to hearing from you.

Try to plan get togethers every couple of months or so...

I guess in this situation, you just have to let go and see if he comes back, like a bird as they say! Good luck to you, the holidays are a difficult time to be separated from your love. Hang in and take care of yourself!

2. thanks..

He bought me a plane ticket to come there in January. We were friends for a couple of years, and he's stuck by me through everything, but I'm a little gunshy because my exboyfriend, after I broke up with him, moved to Thailand. (I mean, I broke up with him, but still- Thailand?)

When I go in January I'm meeting his parents, and he wants to come here in february and meet my parents. Weird. I have a very healthy ego (very, very healthy) and I think he'll think I'm prettier than any other girl.. but.. yeah. :)

I appreciate the advice. I miss LA so much, I cannot wait to come back.

3. I've been in a long distance relationship

for two years. My boyfriend and I have went to college together but for various reasons we ended up in different states (he's in Florida and I'm in Missouri) for our post-grad education. It can work, despite what many may say. It takes a lot of work and understanding. Get a good cell phone plan--talk often. You also need to really trust him.
If you need any more advace, feel free to PM me.
