KKETISH KOTHARI: 8 Kinds of People Who Will Thrive In A Long Distance Relationship

Every once in a while, you come across someone who is in a long distance relationship and wonder what makes them able to work it out. There are plenty of reasons why a long distance can work out, and sometimes it involves the personality of the people in it. In this article, we talk about different types of people for whom a long distance relationship is perfect.

1. You are busy going up the career ladder

You are both career driven, you love your work and your work is your life. Period. But that doesn't mean you can't do relationships. Looks like a long distance relationship is perfect for you, because you are both comfortable connecting when you have the time for it. When the career settles down and you are both ready for it, you could take the plunge, but not just yet.

2. Marriage is not on your mind

Having a relationship and settling down are two different things. With your life in full force, heading towards success, marriage is the last thing on your mind! And what better way to date someone than in a long distance relationship? Since you are both so far away, the thought of settling down is not an option!

3. You don't need an emotional anchor

You're strong and you're in a relationship with your partner because you love him, not because you need him. And in a long distance relationship, there are chances where your partner might not always be there for you! Hence, you are your own emotional anchor and you know it.

4. Nomadic by nature

You travel all the time, and you love it because you want to explore different cultures and places, and having someone by your side is not a necessity. This is why a long distance relationship works out perfectly for you!

5. You need your space and lots of it

For you, the concept of 'less is more' is an ideology you live with. You're the kind who doesn't like constantly keeping in touch with your S.O. You need your space and a long distance relationship works out perfectly for you, since your partner and you don't share the same space or live in the same city.

6. You're academic by nature

Who needs a partner by their side when you have books? You're the kind who loves to study, almost a little too much! You're done with your Ph.D., double masters or even just masters, your thirst for education is always growing, and books are your best friend. And this is why a long distance relationship would work out perfectly for you. You have your partner when you need him/her, but you keep your books closer.

7. I, me, myself

Do you tend to love yourself a little more than you could someone else? Then just be honest and admit (just to yourself), that you may be a wee bit self centered. There is a chance you may grow out of it and may we suggest a long distance relationship to help you take baby steps, to becoming more giving and accepting

8. You're a family person

For you, your family is everything. It doesn't mean you come from a conservative family, it just means you value their thoughts and opinions a tad bit more than anything else. And why would a long distance relationship work best for you? Well, you don't need to go through the hassle of spending time with your S.O. while your family watches over you like a hawk. Since you're both in different places, the only form of communication that you need to keep, till you tell your family about your partner, is a phone! They will come around, just not yet.
