Summary
For a long time I thought it was crazy how many women asked me to talk about this topic.
But now, I realize the reason is obvious: In 2022, more of us are doing long-distance relationships than ever.
You meet a great guy on Instagram who doesn’t live in the same country...
You start dating the perfect man in your city, only to find out he’s been offered a new job 1000 miles away…
And suddenly, you find yourself having “Skype dates”, and you now spend half your work day sending silly photos to each other on Whatsapp.
You feel like you’re falling in love with this guy – but can it actually work long term??
Should you follow your heart and go for it, or should you listen to your head and call it quits? What’s the answer?
These are big questions, so I decided this it was time to be super honest about long-distance and my thoughts on it.

| 0:47.5 | I asked you, our audience, what you thought about long distance relationships. |
| 0:53.2 | But I've learned from long distance relationships is that you're not always satisfied and you miss out on a lot. |
| 0:58.4 | I mean the hardest part of it all is trying to be there without actually being there. |
| 1:03.1 | Think again really because it talks. When you come to it you're man it doesn't necessarily |
| 1:10.2 | mean that he's naked somewhere up with some of this. I think long distance is really rewarding |
| 1:17.1 | when people are doing it correctly and both investing equal amounts of effort and sending a lot of |
| 1:23.3 | news. In my opinion I call them geographically undesirable relationships geographically |

| 1:34.3 | distance relationship than maybe we have ever been before. Many of us are meeting people on online |
| 1:39.1 | dating, social media, dating apps which give us access to people that are not simply within our |
| 1:44.9 | local area. Then there's the mobility of us these days. We travel, we work in all different places. |
| 1:50.4 | Many of us move cities several times in our lifetime. So we're more likely to begin something that |
| 1:55.8 | then turns out to be long distance because they move or we move. My big question for today is |
