Will I End Up Marrying My Neighbour?
Just a thought of the day.
Recent happenings have provoked my curiosity once again on this topic: are relationships in any way related to distance? Li Ann once told me, and I quote, "chances are, you'll end up together with people that are physically closer to you and spend more time with you" (Leow, 2005).
So, I have been wondering: does this mean that a person will most likely end up with their friends, their collegues, their neighbours? What happened to feelings and emotions?
So for example: if a guy meets a nice and charming gal and is attracted to her, but she lives miles and miles away, even taking their own seperate paths in future to come. Does this mean, even if the feelings are right, the relationship will not prevail and will not stand the test of time?
So the conclusion... Is there a point in getting together with this gal? Does everything takes its course based on a theory, but no longer by emotions? Where does the role of fate play in all of this?
Considering I don't even know how many children my neighbours have, its very unlikely that I would get married to them right? =P

My response to your question is: Yes. LDRs (long distance relationships )can work.
But my original point was really separate from your question. My point was: Proximity tends to breed affection (??, ????, as cited in Nairne, 2003 my Psy 101 textbook)...which is why you see so many mates who stay in the same hostel pairing up?What i mean is you need to MEET the person before you fall in love etc etc...and where are you going to meet that person? Unless you are a very prolific traveller (or live most of the time away from home) that person probably stays near you.
What you are talking about though is Long Distance Relationships (LDRs) i've seen some of em work...(eg Alfred?) they take a lot of devotion and trust etc i guess? i know an Aussie gal met UK guy on trip in Bali or something then went to meet him in UK etc etc...she's working in UK now...

OK, let me rephrase my question - after a bit of thinking (I was confused then you see...).
My question is: Is there any point in being together with a person, if it seems that they will never ever meet each other ever again in future? Get what I mean?
No
fion: now i dont think so anymore...
