In my past I have done the whole "I will wait for you" bullshit. I say bullshit only because it is. I am not the type to just wait and hope for the best. I mean to a certain degree I can try, but realistically I cant do it to save my life. I am more the type that wants something to touch. I don't mean the whole sexual shit. (Which isn't bad either, but back to my point.) I mean being able to see that person day to day or every other day, not every couple of months, if I have the money. Things...People change on a daily and don't even know it. Some folks even do the online dating bit. Which I will emit I do, but I can not and will not try to be with someone that isn't even my city. I just can't do it. I do give kudos to those who can. You have more strength than me.
The reason I bring this up is because about 65% of my friends are doing this and I just don't get it. They also tell me that I am cold-hearted. Which honestly, I kind of wonder is that the problem. Maybe I am just too scared to do something like that just because I have gotten hurt before and it was PAINFUL. Let me tell you. Ugh.
Even if that is the reason why I am so against it, I just don't care. I mean who want to get hurt? Any takers? I didn't think so. We are people who are capable of hurting someone, if we think we can get away with it. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more cheating in long distance relationship this normal ones. Would you?
Before I go on a rant on cheating, let me get back to the main reason of this.
My concern with this is comfort.
I ask these questions to the people who are having these long distance relationships:
Can you hold them? Do you kiss them, like really kiss them? When is the last time you two had sex? When do you cuddle? Many times do you see each other?
I have to be able to be with someone. I mean if you can answer those questions kudos to you. Like seriously. I need to be able to see to believe when I am in a relationship.
Who agrees?
If it is in front of you, you will be able to care for them more.
