And you base this "fact" of yours on what? My wife and I have been married for 5 years, and we started out as a long distance relatioinship for quite some time. We also were engaged after 2 weeks. So we pretty much blow any of those "never works" bullshit out of the water.

Any other quips?

Exactly. Either man up and ask her to marry you, work the LD thing, or let her go.

I would have laughed at my wife (then gf) if she'd asked for a promise ring. Then again, she'd probably laugh at me for proposing something so stupid and juvenile.

False

LD relationships are fvcking hard, but they can work out.

<---Almost 5 years now, living together, started as 5 hour LD relationship

good for you. but you must admit your example is not the norm.


I am in a long distance relationship, 1000 miles apart, I've known him for 4 years, started out as friends for over 2 years. Best thing we could of done. Now, we talk everynight, just saw one another a few weeks ago, had a WONDERFUL time. Things are progressing nicely. :) We have talked about a future.

It's different when you're an adult, I can fly to see him, he can fly to see me. You have the money to do things, versus when you're a kid, you can't do jack about it. Time to move on.

Promise ring? People used to give those out when I was in junior high.

Seriously, it's a ridiculous idea that only serves to make a real engagement ring seem less important. Just tell her that and keep her hanging for an engagement ring for the next six years.
