Hunter Hayes says it right ladies and gentlemen.
The first thing that comes to mind when deciding whether or not to commit to a long distance relationship is exactly that, crazy.
There's plenty of pros and cons to every specific situation, but if you're like me and very hesitant about distance, then this list might help you make your final decision.
Cons :(
1. You aren't able to have a date night any day of the week.
2. Traveling is expensive and can be difficult to coordinate.
3. Petty arguments can arise because you are annoyed by how much you miss your other half.
4. Sometimes it feels as if they are almost imaginary because you don't see them frequently enough.
5. Lazy Netflix days on the couch are 100% out of the question.
6. The internet is not always reliable and Skype calls disconnect way too often.
7. You have to learn to schedule around their time, just to be able to see them for a little bit.
Pros :)
1. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
2. When you do get the chance to see each other, you appreciate the time you have together.
3. You spend your time more wisely.
4. You always have more things to catch up on because you aren't with each other to experience things together.
5. The friendship aspect of the relationship is stronger because you have to be supportive through words, not actions.
6. Both sides learn to have good communication skills - example: if you get in an argument, you can't just walk away from it.
7. If you can survive the distance, you can survive the rest of the relationship (or anything else if we're being realistic here).
8. You can have lazy days where you don't have to dress up or do your hair, because let's be real here you don't have anybody to impress but yourself.
9. You learn to schedule your time better when matching up times to meet because you have to coordinate your texts, phones calls and Skype,
10. If both sides are willing to put in equal amounts of effort and time, then the relationship will be stronger and more likely to succeed because you'll become aware of the important aspects that really matter to you.
Overall, it really depends on the specific relationship and the effort each side is willing to put in. If you have the mindset that you will be able to work through the tough times, you will most definitely be able to appreciate the good times!
