Distance Relationship


Maybe, a long time ago, the term "distance relationship" was rarely heard; however, nowadays, we hear this term a little bit more often. Basically, a distance relationship is that, where the people in it don't see each other physically and can only be communicated via telephone or internet.

I'm going to make a special emphasis on the internet. This tool has been in constant use for over 25 years by now and each day it gets more popular. So, what is the Internet really about? I like to consider it as a different "universe" of its own.

On the internet we find news, games, documents and also people. If we are in constant use of this, then, it's not weird we can get to meet, from time to time, someone else that's into it as well. Now, the thing comes when you sustain a relationship trough this tool.

In my personal view, there's no incovenient in doing this. The reason why people usually say that distance relationships through the internet don't work it's because they are completely new! Let's remember that when something new comes to our lives, we don't feel sure or comfortable about it. The same thing happens with these types of relationships.

Now, it will depend on each people how they manage their personal relations. It can be for them just a time of distraction or they can get to meet their ideal person. I won't deny that the distance relationship can be a little bit tricky, but I don't wanna say either, that they are a complete loss of time. They are still a relation between people, just that in this case, they are not physically together.

What I'm sure about, it's that this term will surely gain way more popularity than now and I'm sure it will be more common to hear or to know someone that does so.
