True Love knows no distance nor any boundaries. If two people are truly in love, distance does not change anything. It does not make them inseparable. Though I will say that if two people are truly in love, even one day apart is painful, so a couple truly in love will move mountains to find a way to be together every day. It depends on how you really feel abt the person you are in love with. If you love them so so much, then the distance will make you stronger because then you get to see them maybe and fall in love all of again. If you don’t have a strong feeling of love then yes, it can make you fall out of love bc it will make you miss them and eventually move on from them with a person that you see on a daily basis.
If both the parties are genuinely interested in each other. You can fall in love or make someone fall, just with proper and effective communication. Distance will only limit the time you both can spend together ,when you are in a long distance relationship. If both parties are not totally or genuinely interested in each other. Distance here makes it difficult to make someone fall in love.Why is it so?! Well to evoke interest in someone about us ,is a lot easier when we get to talk and convey our message and feelings in person ,hangout , spend time here there doing this and that when that someone is not much interested in us .
And above all other reasons ,for me ,the key to of falling in love is spending time together face time video calls are allowed. And after all , all people are not the same,this is not what will only happen with every girl or every guy,this is a general possibility that has more chances to occur.It depends on your man/women ,how he/she acts with the distance thing and how you make good out of it for both of yourself.
To a large extent, it’s true that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but too much of absence and distance can be disastrous for a relationship. Why is distance good in a relationship? At the beginning of a new relationship, both of you want to do is spend every minute with each other.Both of you would want to know everything about each other and end up spending all the time texting or calling each other up even when both of you are away for a few hours.
But as the relationship starts to move away from the infatuation stage and into the deeper stage of love, you’d start to realize just how much of your own life as an individual you’ve missed out on. When you start to feel this instinctively, you end up withdrawing from the relationship to spend a bit of me-time.And once you replenish your alone time, you’d feel like spending more time with your lover because you’d start to miss them already. How giving space improves the relationship?
You may want to spend a lot of time together with your lover, and there’s nothing bad in that. But as soon as your lover feels claustrophobic in love, which will eventually happen at some point of time, they may end up pushing you away for a while. This could lead to emotional confusions, which can make one partner more clingy and needy while the other partner starts to get distant. And the more each partner tries to get what they want, space or intimacy, the more it frustrates the other partner.
To have a successful relationship, you need to remember that a relationship is only a part of your life. You need to grow as an individual and allow your partner to grow as an individual too. By giving space to each other to pursue individual interests, neither of you would feel stagnated because of the relationship. In fact, giving space and creating the absence can actually make your partner miss you more which will keep the love alive for longer.
Distance gives both of you time to reflect on the relationship and realize just how much each of you mean to the other person. It can bring both of you closer, create better individuals and make conversations in love a lot more interesting. Giving too much space to each other, either because both of you are busy working or have been forced to separate over a long distance relationship, will always cause a strain in the relationship unless you know to handle the space in a right way.
Physical distance, not really. Metaphorical distance, almost certainly. Physical distance creates a huge opportunity for separation in your schedules, days, friends, interests and hobbies, all of which give you opportunities to bond more. That said, this kind of distance gets created in person as well. So one solution is generally the same for both—find ways to integrate your lives. Busy schedules do the same thing keeping people disconnected from the other’s lives, so you’d find ways to tie them together—friends circles, date nights, shared projects.
For us, video calls were a huge saviour—as was a lot of working from home. We’d spend hours on call, not talking at all, just doing our own thing, but with the other “in the room” so to speak; we’d even sort of fall asleep and wake up with the other. In cases however, absence will make the heart forget, so what I know works for long distance relationship is a good and constant two-way communication. I speak from experience of 8 years. I came from Japan then moved to Philippines, and my ex was assigned to different countries. From when we first go on with our lives apart from each other, the communication was strong both ways.
We survived time difference, connectivity issues, and the longing to just be with each other, especially on tough times. When there's lack of physical presence in a relationship, you actually become excellent communicators. You have that conscious effort to make up for the actual dates where you can just see eye to eye, or be quiet in each other's embrace, or just knowing and being near each other. In long distance, you will talk about how your day was, who you spent it with, what your struggles, or your source of joy and amazement. You do a lot of things online and over the phone to virtually connect. Cheers!
