Hey-0! Chronalga here with another blog! Today I want to speak about relationships in Minecraft. First of all, I want to say that this isn't about having a relationship in real life, and then playing Minecraft together. That's cool. However, there's another kind that just isn't the same...
Introduction: What's An LDR?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An LDR is a Long Distance Relationship. It's not something that you want to have, whether it's in Minecraft or not. Basically, a guy and a girl are dating, but they don't live close to each other. They only see each other through voice/video chat programs like Skype and Facetime, and they communicate primarily through texting. You may feel that love connection, but you have absolutely no idea what's going on wherever the other person lives. Also, there's no physical contact (holding hands, hugging, kissing, etc.) so it's had for the relationship to mature. Lastly, you don't get to experience your lives in a parallel way, so it's much harder to grow together. Because this is a Minecraft site, if there's an LDR, it's usually going to be through Minecraft.
In The Beginning, Things Seem Legit...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're anything like me (A few of you are, most of you probably aren't), then you take relationships pretty seriously. If you think a girl/guy likes you, and you think you like her/him, you take advantage of the opportunity, do you not? You probably do. You ask her out/get asked out by him, hopefully she says/you say yes, and then you move in to that first awkward period of the relationship (if, of course, she's a real girl, not some old person trying to take advantage of you; that risk is another reason why this kind of thing is a really bad idea). Usually, if your "love" is strong enough, then you'll pull through the awkward period and get into the real part of the relationship. You enjoy the other person's company, text/Skype constantly, and truly enjoy yourself. You're on a server together, and you have a great time. It may not seem like a terrible thing now, but wait...
When Things Come Crashing Down...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The relationship will continue in that way for a while, usually pretty steadily, and everything will seem fine. Then, some event will destroy that placidity. One member of the couple might not be able to communicate with the other, or they might find someone else that they like. Either way, they're going to lose interest in or contact with the other member. That other member will probably become upset, and start to realize how flawed this relationship really is. They'll see how difficult it will be for the relationship to mature, and start looking at the flaws of the other person. You can pretty much see how it goes from there.
The After Effects
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the unavoidable event of a breakup, things start to get awkward. The ex-couple doesn't want to be on the same server together, and one of them usually leaves. (This can cause large problems if one of the members of the ex-couple is the owner of the server they were on together, and the other member is an admin, and he/she has a group of friends that are also admins, they all might just leave. You could lose quite a few admins this way.) If you're like me, you'll still feel pretty heartbroken/upset (not as much as a real relationship), and there's nothing you can do about it. You may enjoy the relationship (I guarantee you won't enjoy it as much as a real relationship, if you do even enjoy it at all) for the short time it lasts, but, trust me, it's not worth it in the end.
So, In Closing...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To sum things up, I just want to say that long distance relationships, especially in Minecraft, are not a good idea. Please, do me a favor, and, if your soul mate does not go to your school or live in your town, wait. Just wait. He/she will come, and it will be much, much better than a virtual relationship. We were meant to have relationships in person.
This is based on a personal experience, so I know exactly what it feels like.

Sure, that is... as long as you're alright with dating a ferret...
But seriously, relationships in Minecraft or any game is awkward as fuck. Everyone thought it was extremely weird, but we got used to it. Just date someone that actually exists within your world.
