[00:01.64] Alex: So how do you feel about long-distance relationships?

[00:04.64] Maria: Not that good. I had two relationships by now and both of them ended after me going somewhere.

[00:11.64] First time I was in Denmark but like I lived on a school in another city and while I was there for four months like I think two months after I went home to him and broke up and then came back to the school and just didn't really care.

[00:26.64] And then the second time I went traveling and I missed him so much and I came back and realized that there was nothing left.

[00:34.64] I'd lost everything while I was away so I don't, after one month, after two months, I think it just doesn't work for me if it's not really special.

[00:43.64] Alex: Yeah, I guess you're kind of like me. I have to see the person.

[00:48.14] Maria: Exactly.

[00:49.14] Alex: Almost, you know, daily.

[00:50.89] Maria: Exactly and you can have conversations online and on the phone but if there's no, I don't know, it doesn't have to be much, just like be close, see each other in the eye.

[01:02.14] Alex: It's a big difference, yeah. I did a month when I went home to Australia away...

[01:08.39] Maria: This summer?

[01:09.14] Alex: Yeah, this recent summer and like Skype is just not enough. Do you know what I mean? You can see the person, you can talk to them, you know you can kiss the camera if you want but it's not...

[01:22.39] Maria: If you want.

[01:23.39] Alex: You know it's not the same but that's not to say I don't think, some people can do it.

[01:29.39] Maria: I figure if it's a very like if the relationship is very, it's very passionate or you've been going on for a long time because both of my relationships were under one year I think.

[01:41.89] The first one was one year and the second one was half a year. So if we're used to staying together then I think you can work it out. I'm just too impatient.

[01:51.39] Alex: Yeah, I guess under a year you haven't really learned to depend on the other person all the time.

[01:58.64] Maria: Exactly.

[01:59.39] Alex: Or...

[02:00.14] Maria: Still going by the passion and if you can't see the person every day or like whenever you want, then the passion just slowly fades.

[02:06.89] Alex: Yeah, agreed.

[02:09.39] Maria: But this is your first relationship right?

[02:10.89] Alex: Yes it is and I did one month when I went home away from the person and it was just...

[02:15.39] Maria: And that was the first time you ever went away from the person?

[02:17.64] Alex: Yeah and it was just aah horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible.

[02:23.64] Maria: I remember the first time I like traveled while my boyfriend was still at home and it was a week and I was devastated so it's if it's passionate it's...

[02:34.39] Alex: Well I did Christmas away from them when I went to Christmas, I did India for Christmas last year.

[02:40.64] Maria: OK.

[02:41.14] Alex: And two weeks was bad enough and then a month and I was just pulling my hair out, do you know? So.

[02:47.89] Maria: Yeah, it's hard.

[02:49.14] Alex: It, yeah, it certainly is.

[02:50.89] Maria: Yeah.
