Hmmm anyone else agree

Too general for a topic distance referring to geographic space, emotional disconnect, height, values not approximate, age appropriate match many others as more specificity is required....

Almost true.

Distance, geographically speaking doesn't kill. It's the impatience and not being able to wait till the two are near enough that kills.

It does hurt so badly not having the people we love next to us.. sigh

cheer up. youre young. youll find somebody

May not KILL but certainly can make life more difficult

It will kill unless there is a strong determination between two lovers to make it work but generally speaking distance dies down the sparks most usually and you can never know if you're already being cheated on....

Yeah, it's another one of those "it depends" things.

I suspect for most younger people, it really can be a death knell for the relationship, because much of the time, the young relationships are built primarily on immediate gratifications, and not on the sort of long term concerns that people that young are even cognizant of.

Once people reach the point in their personal development where the dedication to each other and the principles they live by are more important than those daily "fun bits," then distances become less important.

But even then, if the distance remains immutable for long enough, the people will almost have to grow apart, and alter how they envision their lives in relation to each other.

Exactly, where lies it's not the distance itself but the "loneliness" that kills. Depending on the time apart of course.. on the lines of actually "killing" or "hurting" would depend on the person of course... but assumingly, would be 6 months to a year and post. And therefor the actual love/care one has for the relationship thereof... If they actually loved, then the distance wouldn't matter but a bit because they would know or have in the back of their mind what they would return to one day.
