1st and foremost, loose the xtn. Put Christ back where He belongs and then pray and seek His guidance. If it is His desire for the two of you, then you will know it.

I was not trying to be rude, so please do not take it that way. But just for a moment look at what you typed....
hes xtn too (xtn means christian, if you didnt know)
which is easier Christian, which everyone understands or "hes xtn too (xtn means christian, if you didnt know)" which you took more time to explain?It really bothers me to see Christ removed from anything. We are to praise His name and i fail to see replacing His name with anything.Pray that God will do His will, no matter your desires. He, only, knows what is the best for each of us.

I'm 17, and a guy. For those who are wondering, I'm not the one she's talking about

.Anyhow, my word of advice, don't date unless if you're thinking of marriage. It is best for God to provide you your other half. By best, I highly recommend it!God knows best, so pray and wait.

Im related to someone currently in a long distance relationship. From what ive seen, unless you are completely dedicated to the relationship working- its not going to work. It leads to many problems as I have seen, usually one side or the other finding a closer bf/gf.

Best thing to do. Pray about it. Ask God. He will always answer. Yes or No. He knows betterBe Blessed

xtn, does not bother me. That's how these young kids talk these days.As for your long distance xtn, I'd be a little wary. Take it from a dad here. There may be another 49-year-old guy on the other end waiting for you. You don't know who you are really talking with over the internet; pictures mean nothing. Get out with some real people instead.

Yeah... but "Christ" isn't His name, it's a title. Technically (as far as I know), using the hellenized Greek translations "Jesus Christ" is "removing His name" just the same. If you’re going to be so adamant about the use of His name, you should at least be congruent.

we... have met
My wife and I started out through a long-distance relationship. The Lord actually hooked us up online (through xanga.com). The first months were rough, but in hindsight, anything else would have left us worse off. I wouldn’t change a thing. It was awesome to be able to get to know her and really fall in love with who she is, before getting caught up in a "natural progression "of things. For example, we didn't get to hold hands until 5 months after talking. We didn't really even go on a real "date" until after a few months of "dating". I don't know if I could say that I'd love her as much without months of getting to know her, without any desire to "fall in love" with the physical draws of relationships. It was all from the heart. It had to be. In that way, long-distance dating really puts a relationship to the test of if it's solid, or if it's just infatuation. I definitely recommend it, since you already have met the guy, but I also have to warn that it can be pretty frustrating. I'm sure you already have a good idea of that though.

I thank God for giving me a long-distance relationship with an xtn that turned into my wife. We feel like the foundation of our marriage is so solid as a result. It's good to know that we didn't get married for the wrong reasons. Go for it, but like others said, only based on the Father's guideance. It's up to Him, but it was perfect for me.
