a long distance relationship, is when you are going out with somebody, and they live farfar away!!!! where you can barely see each other....some further than others....i knew people that were going out, but they can only see each other once a month cuz they lived 12 hours apart....i have seen others be in a long distance relationship, and they were further apart and seen each other less....i dont like long distance relationships, and i dont recommend them, cuz its very hard to see the person you like, and are going out with, unless you have a lot of money, and gas, and a car, and are willing to drive to how far they live to go see them.....
