If you’ve read Our Story, you know that we were in a long distance relationship (LDR) . It was only after we moved in together did we realize how much we learned during the course of our LDR in terms of how to make them work, the pros and cons, and what was needed to move to the next step, and relationships in general. After a lot of thought as to whether we had the time to blog and whether anyone would read our blog, we decided to give it a shot and make Guide For Your Heart. We’d love any feedback and comments that you have and we’re always working on adding content and editing the content to make it better.
Warm regards,
theMan and theWoman
Dear theMan and theWoman:
I am wrong about a lot.
Thanks for pointing it out to me.
May you have much continued happiness.

I’ve been in a LDR for almost 4 years, he lives in AZ I’m in MTY, MX, and I’m glad we made it, These year we are gonna get married. At the beginning was a challenge, is difficult some times, and I’ve been appling the most of the tips you are giving. LDR works, with a bunch of tolerance and love, and a cold mind, I mean zero doubts, and mutual tust.
Cheers from Monterrey MX

I like what you said about loving yourself. Some people want to meet a partner so bad, that they become obsessed with this idea and it becomes a preoccupation. As it is definetely important for everybody, person needs to start with looking at what his/her goal is and how to get there. Do not look for anybody if you are not in a good mood. If you are upset, frustrated, or pissed off-it is very likely that you look just as miserable, which does not make you look attractive. Statistically it is very improbable that someone would find you interesting and respond to you positively, or would try to approach you.
When you are most confident, positive, and relaxed with the smile on your face (and not fake grimace that is suppose to look like a smile)-not only you look your best-your sences are also sharpened and you radiate a positive energy that would turn other people on or at least turn their heads, which in either case is to your advantage. Even if you did not meet anyone at this time-just knowing that people looked at you, turned their heads to see you again, would add more confidence to you.
It is a tough world- it is not only that you have to be energetic and enthusiastic at work to advance your career, your personal life can be successful only when you look like a winner in a library!
And if you are down-that’s okay too. Stay home, take a bath, read a book, or watch TV. There is a time to throw stones and there is a time to gather stones.
Hey guys,
Was wondering if any of you are part of any free dating sites?
Ive been researching and looking around for all the best free dating sites to join.
A lot of free dating sites are free, but you need to verify your age with your credit card which a lot
of people aren’t comfortable with.
Ive found a site that lists all the free dating sites where you dont need credit card at all.
Just simply your name.. age.. email.. and your good to go!

theMan – I have tried dating sites in the past. The way I look at it is that you would pay to go to a bar or a club (a cover, alcohol, etc). One month on a dating site (i.e. eHarmony) is roughly equivalent to going to a club or bar. I don’t know of and have not used free dating sites.
You can always use facebook, myspace, etc to meet people or try to put information about your screenname in your profile on a dating site that doesn’t charge you for a profile. However, at some point, I think it is reasonable to pay for a dating site.
TheMan and TheWoman-
I just wanted to tell you that you’re doing a great job with the site!
The Boy and I have been dating for 1.5 years, but we’ve been in an LDR for 9 months. An LDR is definitely not for the faint of heart, but your articles help me to be a better girlfriend, and they remind me there are people out there that do make LDRs work. Not without putting in the effort, of course.
Thank you so much.
to the woman & the man …
Thanks for putting yourselfs out there & making other people in similar situation aware of pros & cons of LDR’s. It’s almost a year since I’ve been in a Ldr. It’s been great when it started off, frustrating at times, where i ended the relationship 3 times !! Well, good news, we are still together. But it doesn’t feel that way.
It’s hard enough that he’s in Europe & I in Africa. We’ve had great holidays , meeting each other, family etc. He’s the man of my dreams and we love and respect each other dearly. Problem is : I feel I’m trying too hard to keep things together. I call, text , e-mail , all communication yo can think of. What do I get ?
Nothing. I have to threaten in order for him to reciprocate. I dunno. Are we going downhill or is it worth the fight ? He’s going through a rough patch right now ( emotionally) & I’ve given my 100% support.
I still don’t get any feed back from him. I’m exhausted. I feel I try & get nothing in return. Yet again I know what to expect in return : I love you” blah blah blah …
What do I do ??
the girl.
