logical explanations on why LTRs are so far fetched?

one i think is some people had indelible relationships..and just expect the next one to be the same.

Hi RK!!!! Too high of expectations!!!! No one wants to give, just take....

Can you repeat that in spanish now???

cuppy called it.

no compromise no communication. people just expect the other person to fall in line. its like dating bootcamp.

i didnt realize they were farfetched..
i am still hopin g to find one.
lol

My relationships have to be physical, I don't need a pen pal

Gypsy el esta preguntando porque los LTRs

Son tan lejos de alcanzar

Awe Izzie...they arent...its all about making each other smile and doing for each other unconditionally....

Thanks Rock....

Pats....he is referring to long term not long distance...lol

Gyps girl...you are such a goofball...lmao

Hmmmmmmm....Luis...that was so sexy....

Thank you Romeo!! Its all so clear now!!!

Thank you kindly

Actually.......I dont expect anything to be the same!!!! I want everything different.

De nada Gypsy

I'm glad i could help

There are so many reasons.

Personally, it comes down to two things. I'm alone, and not a widower, which means every relationship I've ever been in has ultimately failed. I hate failing. Therefore, I tend to be gun shy.

Second, as I get older, I get much more selective about about who I want to spend time with. It's the old cliche. I'd rather be happy and alone than miserable or bored as part of a couple.

Perhaps, it takes getting out and risking rejection a few times.
It does get kind of tiring having to compete/court. Meet one, have a few conversations, maybe meet and realize, there isn't that commonality one would hope for.
Eight or ten times of repeating the life story. Feel like typing it out, like a resume. Hand it to her, ask her to look it over and if she thinks we're a fit, get back to me.
I don't want to speak for everyone when I say, I'm sort of used to the instant gratification. Fast food, ATM, Cell,etc.
Same with a relationship. Let's talk a few times, go out a time or two, test drive a while, then either split the sheets or commit.
I know that's not reality and getting to know someone well, takes a lot of time and energy. Taking that time is well worth it whether or not it turns into long term commitments.

I think, one issue, is that of age. For some of us anyway..i'm 48, my mom is in her seventies, i simply can't leave...i suspect that may be the case with a lot of people. Other than that, i would sprout wings and fly, i just can't leave my family.

LTR me I would settle on a day to day relationship and see how long it will last.
