The Long Distance Relationship: What’s The Point?
For almost a year, I have been in a long distance relationship. When people hear this, they ask me how it works. Um…it just does? I’ve learned that you can’t “make” a relationship work; if you’re meant to be together, the distance between doesn’t matter. For me, being in a long distance relationship is especially convenient because of my busy schedule. If I don’t have time to breathe, I definitely don’t have time to go on dates with a guy from UMD. It should be noted that the best part about being about in a long distance relationship is making fun of the fact that I am serious about dating someone miles away, who could potentially be cheating on me on a daily basis. (I personally try not to think about this possibility).
There are definitely perks about dating someone far away. If your boyfriend isn’t around, he can’t get on your nerves every five seconds. Getting presents or love letters in the mail is always a nice surprise and unannounced visits are even better, and make you appreciate your boyfriend even more. Not to mention, you’ll always be a hot item. Guys want what they can’t have, and because you have a boyfriend that isn’t around, it drives them up the wall.
So although being in a long distance relationship may seem like a hassle, it’s the exact opposite. It forces both you and your significant other to become more mature about your relationship. So forget random hook ups at the bar, settle down like a real adult.
