A long distance relationship is a very challenging thing. Many have tried, and many have failed. On the other hand, I personally know a lot of couples who emerged victorious out of the battle, moved and stayed together.

I receive many emails regarding surviving a long distance relationship and what the rules are. And how to support a relationship when you’re thousands of miles apart?

So, before I post an article on the question whether to go for a long distance relationship or not (find the 10 Rules To Make Long Distance Relationships Work here), I thought I make a humorous approach first, so you have something to laugh about. Call it a funny aptitude check up on surviving a long distance relationship.

On the other hand, you can turnabout every item of the whole list, and you get pretty good advice on what’s important for a long distance relationship.

Here are 10 reasons why long distance relationships would be a bad thing for you:

10. Your credo is “out of sight, out of mind”, and you are a very unromantic person.

9. Your second credo is “wait and see” rather than “plan and act”, and you are a very lazy person.

8. You don’t even trust your own mother. Everybody is a potential threat.

7. You are only interested in short-termed amorous adventures. Your longest relationship lasted for 3 days only.

6. You keep your feelings and thoughts to yourself, your shrink doesn’t even know your name.

5. You are a couch-potato, leaving your apartment makes you freak out ’cause it’s a real world out there.

4. You hate to be on the phone, because you work 12 hours a day in a call-center, where you have to sell insurances to lonely housewives.

3. You call your boy/girlfriend in the middle of the night, just to check if he/she’s at home, then come by, checking if his / her lights are on.

2. You are a computer noob. You think that the yahoo messenger is a lottery cash notifier.

And the Number One Reason for not being suitable for long distance relationships is:

1. You are that pessimistic, that you look for the coffin when you see flowers.

If the above apply to you, then I recommend that you better stay away from a long distance relationship. Otherwise you have a good chance for surviving.
