subject: 5 Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before Starting A Long Distance Relationship [print this page] Can I handle the emotional tax of a Long Distance Relationship? This might be the most important question of them all! There are quite a few lonely nights when it comes to long distance relationship and they can take their toll. Ask yourself whether or not your ready and whether or not the potential outcome is worth the short term pain.
Have I spent Enough Time Getting to Know this Person? Do you know this person well enough to trust them with your heart? That's a pretty tough question to answer as there is no right answer, but it's important to ask yourself this.
Is my head or my heart making this decision? Another tough but fair questions to ask yourself is what is motivating your desire to enter into this relationship. Both your head and your heart need to be on the same page in order to make a long distance relationship work.
Can I change this person into being the right kind of partner for me? This is sort of a trick question. If you think you can change a potential partner into your perfect mate you are not ready for a relationship. Do not pass go do not collect $200. You should go back to square one as you are totally missing the point. You should be entering into this relationship because your like the person for who they are not who you think you can make them.
Do you share common values or convictions? Not as big a no brainer as it sounds. Long distance relationships require far more phone and Internet communication than face-to-face relationships do. That means your going to have to talk A LOT. So much that you won't be able to fake anything so you'd better have similar interests or those phone calls are going to get pretty painful.
