How My Long Distance Relationship Actually Worked Out
Long-distance relationships are considered to be less stable and less lasting but in my case, these things never made an impact while I was dating my European girlfriend. My name is Stuart Riddle and I am from California. I started dating my girlfriend, Jane Williams in the year 2016 and we both are going to marry each other in the next year. I scrolled through many European dating sites and finally, I found her after some days of constant scrolling. We had an immediate connection with each other after some days of communication.
People say that living long-distance creates trouble and you both cannot stick together with each other.
