Time zones

Time zone differences doesn't matter. The longitude of the city I'm living in is 121º E, So time zone UTC +8 . The philippiness is in this time zone as well heh. But most of my contacts live in the west, so when it is really late for them＜every time I get a new contact, I will check their timezone So as to know the time differences..I remember all heh..I was a big fan of geography as well＞, I will bring the conversation to an end and ask them to go to bed. I know staying up isn't good for people's physical health(|||❛︵❛.).Sometimes, if they need my assistance or if I would like to explain something, I will stay up helping them/explaining.

Like, it depends too My experiences are mostly between less than 5 hours to 2 hours. My ex would study at night, and me in the morning. Our time difference would change between 4 to 2 hours (depending of if he or I was on summer time). When I was sleeping he would take most of his classes, and take that free time to play games alone. When he was sleeping I would be in classes or in lunch time. We got the routine that my afternoon would be our talkative time. You just have to ajust routines for compative time. Now I stay awake until 4/5 am because since I only have classes in the afternoon, I can go to sleep and wake up with 6 hours of sleep and a shower taken that makes me feel like I have been sleeping for 10 hours and still be 11 am with time to catch up the bus. It depends of both routines and how can you work it so that you can speak freely. I think the problem starts with more than 8 hours. The morning of one in the night of the other and vice versa, you have to have a really compatible schedule to talk freely everyday. It isn't a Deal Breaker, it works, you just have to adjust yourself

I have to agree with Sal in that, should the timezone difference exceed more than 8 hours, it can become difficult for both parties. I can't say I've been in a relationship with anyone where the timezone has exceeded 8 hours, but you can Imagine me (UTC +10 or +11) trying to maintain a relationship with someone in the US where the difference can be anywhere from 14 to 18 hours. If you find yourself in a relationship, or attempting a relationship, where there's a huge time difference involved, you will find yourself making time for that person and vice versa. In the end, you might find yourself with something that Muffin has with her partner. However, if you EVER feel that it's a chore trying to maintain contact (on more than... 2/3 occurences?), either talk it out with your partner and/or try change it up a little (because I feel this is an inevitable occurrence) or it was never meant to be. This is one of those things where you need to be prepared, understanding and patient. Personally, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a deal breaker. However, that's not to say I wouldn't try.

Not a deal breaker at all with 2 committed parties, I've made 8 hour time differences work, as long as there is trust its fine. Though it is difficult and a lot of people won't be willing to invest that much effort into another person, so I'd say it depends on the two people involved. :)

While I've never attempted a LDR with that kind of time difference, I do have a few close friends that have live on the other side of the clock. In fact, my Asian friends have become some of my closest friends, and we're 12 hours apart. It can be tough to build a friendship under such circumstances. The best I guess I can say is be patient and just do what you can. Don't expect to be able to talk every day. Sometimes I like to schedule times to sit and chat with my friends on the other side of the world, and that does seem to be help. If both sides care about the friendship/relationship and put in the effort, it'll be fine.
