Some people believe they can handle long distance relationships. Some think it’s the hardest thing in the world. And others think it depends on how strong the relationship is. Society Magazine’s Sheilla Rukundo sought a few opinions on the matter.Well, it all depends on how far away he is.  I get moody all the time so I’d want him to be there for me. I am really not the long distance type.Alice Musasizi, Hair stylistI personally wouldn’t take chances with a long distance relationship. If I decide to be with someone I want them to be close to me. I’d rather not commit to anything and in the end, if we are meant to be we will be together when we can both afford to do so.Karen Umwali, SFB studentPersonally I have been in a couple of long distance relationships. When you get that girl that you can’t go a day without thinking about, the girl that you Skype with until you fall asleep and wake up to find she is still on line, it’s worth it. That has been my case for about a year now and I am very certain that I can go longer if that’s what it takes to be with her. Edga Kabera , RDB employeeI can’t handle long distance relationship because I want to see my boyfriend constantly. It gives me time to get to know him and even strengthen our relationship and make our love grow.Diana Mutesi, RTUC studentI can never do long distance relationships because I don’t believe in strengthening a relationship on social networks. Even though I have never had one, I believe it’s not promising or trustworthy. If I promised you that I will wait for you, it would be a big lie.Sheja Didier, Kigali Institue of Science and Technology studentI used to believe in long distance relationships. But once you grow up you find out that love can be tested and the world has so much to offer. Now, I don’t believe in long distance relationships and that’s probably because I haven’t met the one to make me believe in it. Sheba Mutesi Christie, SMS media employeeI think I would love to be in a long distance relationship. All the fights that I have with my girlfriend are because she is too close to me. Everything is considered a mistake, if we were apart for sometime I think I would enjoying dating a lot more.Illedephonse Kalisa, motorcycle mechanicI think I can manage it because in life, people won’t always be around you. The most important thing is to believe in the person you are dating and develop a relationship that can survive every obstacle. If I am sure he loves me and is around for the long haul, why not wait for him?Faith Rukundo, Electronics engineer
