was reading an old issue of people magazine and i was surprised at some of the replies.....question was: can a long distance relationship work during its infant stages until all the ingredients are mixed bringing the couple closer together ?!?! i say hell no!!! even though todays independent woman has her own high paying job her exotic car her big house cooks cleans shops and pays the bills on her own ,still needs a man 24/7 to occupy her fancies!
