Robert Pattinson Wants a Long-Distance Relationship

Posted by

Robert Pattinson wants a long-distance relationship.

The British actor – who is currently in Vancouver, Canada filming Twilight sequel New Moon – says being away from his girlfriend would make the relationship “better”.

He explains, “It is hard but I guess in someways being away from someone is always… if you really like them it makes, in a strange way, makes it better because the more time you spend away the more you’re thinking of them, the more you want to see them again so I guess being away… not spending too much time with someone is always a good thing to do.”

Asked what he’d do to make a woman fall in love with him, Robert, 22, added: “Doing little things that people do when they’re with someone they like.”

Robert recently revealed that he wants a job where he can shut himself away.

“I like any job where you can just shut yourself away from everybody,” he said.

    Robert may be “shy” due to the fact that he is so into himself, so I don’t doubt these kinds of stories one bit. Let me explain … it is a known fact that most people who have low-self esteem or are “shy” are simply in need of approval from others and are affraid to be themselves out of fear of being rejected. Why would they need approval if they weren’t constantly wrapped up in their own appearance or personality? Claiming to be “shy” is simply a nicer way of saying “i’m too good to talk to you” or “i am nervous that you may not like me and EVERYONE has to like me”. I am not saying this necessarily true in his case, but it is quite possible. Don’t automatically discredit everything you read because you don’t think it sounds true to his character. His character may be very different than what he displays to the media.

    I totally agree with the above comment. He is just the actor/player. I read that he uses a “proposal” line topick up girls…he thinks is funny…is so inmmature. Still he looks great in the movie, but is just a movie! People wants to be friends with him… what is he is some sort of maniac…don’t people have to actually meet people instead of beg a friendship? or love? maybe he is a good person but it doesn’t matter. But I can help to wander why some women over the top for a cute face only?!

    Finally some suitable comments about actors and acting. That is what “we media users” need to hear. And what we have to understand. Great job guys. I do not want my kids to fall in a longing trap over some made up character. I want them to live the real life. Open your eyes people.

  • I’m here to help

    Sure, lightening could strike and you might meet him and fall in love; if you do, congrats and more power to you. But what happens when he isn’t Edward or whatever you have built him up to be, not saying that RP isn’t a great guy, but I don’t know him from can of paint and neither do you–who he is or really anything about him (I know that you think you do, but you don’t).

    It’s commendable that so many people were taken by his performance, but take a cold shower and get on with it. Go out into the real world, take a chance, and try to stop living inside of a fantasy.

    I came across this site, whilst doing research for characters for a book I’m writing. Reading these posts has made my day, I can’t stop laughing. Sorry, I know some of you are being serious about this, but I TOTALLY agree with Therapy. You are not going to meet anyone, let alone Robert by sitting on the internet. Get out there and enjoy life, you never know who you might meet.

  • Ehm

    WOW.
    such ageists.
    There are worse things in this world than having an older friend.
    My goodness ladies. I guess it should be expected, wait until you grow up, then you will see how this world truly works.

  • Ehm

    also,
    I would like to add that I am currently in a relationship with a much younger man. It is not something that I was looking for, but I am so happy it happened. I am a 35 year old woman dating a 23 year old man. We met during a class I was teaching (yoga) and we developed a very close friendship which turned into a very loving relationship after another 6 months. I have met his mother, who had her reservations, but they soon subsided. He is my equal in many ways. If I let age get in the way of deciding whether to be with him or not we would not be together. I was the one that had the most concerns, but he never gave up. Thankfully. I in no way have trouble meeting men my age or older, however, I did have trouble meeting someone who compliments me, who understands me, and who has the same morals as I. I am in the public eye quite a bit (model) and he is someone who is not as much. When we went public, it was a bit of a shock for some, but then those who know us see how much we are meant to be together. I don’t look anywhere close to my age, but he does look quite young. We are now engaged and it will be a long engagement. So young ladies out there, I find it very distrbing to comment on someone whose only desire is to be a friend to this lovable looking youn man. I am sure Mr. Patterson will be shocked by those comments. From what I have seen of him in his interiews, he has an old soul. That usually attracts older women to them and vice versa. AS for this long distance thing, I agree, absence makes the heart grow fonder. However, with that said, I don;t think the “absence” should be too long, as it can lead to other issues. With him being an actor, it most likely will be a long distance relationship due to the various filming locations he will be whisked off to. I currently live in the beautiful city of Vancouver (VAN), and my fiance lives in Toronto. We manage to see eachother once a month. It can work, if you love someone enough to put in the time. I am sure Mr. Pattinson will find the women of his dreams and not be critizied about his choice. Relationships can be difficult to maintain, especially with the distance. I hope those opinionated fans and others alike will leave it be.

    That was beautifully said Ehm.

    First, I don’t think age matters at all. Look at Ashton and Demi!! I am 31 years old and I think Robert is gorgeous. I’m probably 99.9% sure you or I will never meet him, but who is anyone to say someone older can’t like him or have their own “fantasy” about meeting him one day? At least older women aren’t screaming at him or scaring him to death like all these little girls and tweens! I think Rob is a very humble person with many great talents, from what I’ve seen in interviews. All you little girls attacking the older women need to get a life.

  • anon

    I agree. Age shouldn’t matter, it’s what 2 people feel for each other that does. No we ordinary people will probably never meet a star much less fall in love w/one but it’s ok to say that you would like to be his friend. No we don’t know the real Robert but some of would like to and no the some of the ones that want to get to know him are not fantasizing about him being Edward, I mean Edward is fictional and Robert is real. I also agree that at least the older women are not out there making fools of ourselves over someone younger and throwing ourselves at him. I don’t blame him for being leary of the crazy fans.

  • Jenn

    I have to agree with the person who said age doesn’t matter….for one he is of age and who is to say who should be friends or in a relationship with someone else as long as they are both over the age of consent….plus the fact that most of us will never meet him kinda makes it a moot point…so we all need to just back off and give the poor guy some room to breath….think about it he has a lot of people throwing themselves at him…it has to be overwhelming for someone who seems to be very shy and to prefer his privacy and quiet….it has to be very irritating that he can’t even go out to get something to eat without a bunch of people being in his face and it the tabloids and being all over the internet….yes I admit I am just as guilty as anyone else with wanting to look at his beautiful face and searching for images….but I would never presume to make a plea for attention from him or any other man for that matter like the 32 year old did …it made her sound desperate…for one most men prefer to approach a woman rather than have them approach him (men like to chase not be chased) second it probably scares the crap out of him to have so many people approaching him and trying to get his attention and I don’t blame him for wanting to hide.

  • Cara

    It’s kind of odd, how this young man makes so many “older” women feel protective. That’s how I see it, I’m 37 and I find myself worrying about him…glad to see that he gets a designated driver but over the years seeing young actors with huge potential make mistakes…like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger, just don’t want to see him going down the same road. I hope if he’s happy in the US he figures out that there is a whole lotta “normal” people between LA and NY and finds time to get grounded before getting swept away.

  • semi-driver

    are you seriously arguing about being too old for robert pattinson on some website…what is wrong with the world?

  • can’t resist

    Oh, girlys…. you are so right…nothing wrong with the 30 somethings loving Rob….

    As a matter of fact, I am 15 years older than him and doesn’t bother me one bit….
    “I certainly am not old enough to be his mother, unless I was a bit “loose” in my teen years” :-o And he is legal…

    And, oh my….he would be so lucky to have such a woman as I or probably any 30 something….. could teach him a thing or two…. or three and he would love every minute of it… Promise….
    See, with age comes experience and knowledge… and that is hard to resist, does not matter if you are 22 or 42

    Sooooo, let’s all play nice girls and enjoy life… and if you ever get to meet this adorable soul….. Try not to scare him!

    hahahahaha

    Peace

  • supernatrel

    Just had a look at all the comments and i agree with the above
    experience and knowledge does come with age.

  • Shree

    Im in my 30s and everyone thinks Im still in my 20s. There are definatley those out there that look there age and act it. I dont. What is age but a persons state of mind. Be 12 if you can get away with it. I think hes hot on the outside but also on the inside. I like what he says as hes not like other guys who need to be out there sleeping with every slam hound there is. He seems more deep. Not enough out there. If you cant be by yourself at times then you are insecure.

  • http://soulmates belinda

    i have to agree with ehm and jen i’m 33 whats age have to do with it i attract younger guys doesnt mean any anything maybe because us older woman have more exprience and that why the younger guys like us right now im dating a younger guy but were taking a break from each other he like 25 big deal maybe theres a reason guys like us older woman
    im not trying to defend anybody but these teeny boppers have to grow up alittle.

  • Val

    I agree with Rob 100%, and I think that the best of a long-distance relationship is that you can always write with him…and to me thats awsome cuz I´m to shy sometimes but I can say all I feel writing..and once I told it I can be myself if I see the guy….Anyway I was in a long-relationship before and is the best experience ever….but the bad thing was that he never know me in person and Like Rob said is good cuz you miss him and you love him more when you see the person but i saw him just 1 time in 3 years long long time without him

  • Val

    and i that time i saw him was on msn….:(..so

  • Theresa Hamo

    hey….
    My name is Theresa and I’m from New Zealand first of all i think Robert Patterson is a really hot guy and seems like a nice person to get to know.
    i think a long dstance relationship is good and he is right with the stuff he sayz about it but… then if you end up faling in love with the person your with it will be hard because you’l be so far away from eachother and you will miss them soooo much for me I would so love it if I was in a relationship with him it would be cool as so robert if you see this I’d love to hear from you
    xoxox

  • Theresa Hamo

    oh and by the way im 20 yearz old turning 21 this year

  • susan

    He openly said he would also date women older than 33 :-)

  • Edith

    I have to say I´m agree with you Rob, so bad that not all people think like that. I had a relationship at distance and it was the most deep and beatiful one, cuz you miss your love but when you see him is like a dream and there isn´t any fight and you enjoy every moment. But, is hard when the other person doesnt believe in you and let you without saying goodbye. He was from L.A and I´m from Argentina, so there is no way i coulld find the money to go for him and asking him to stay with me, and i didnt knew how to find him…I was so sad, but no all people is the same way..so I hope you find your queen in the distance but to do that you have to search one (not a model or a waird actress, they are crazy)…lol…so

  • v

    only in my dreams i can have someone so funny…so,,,MAN…so lovely like him…in my world that thing never happen… :( …is sad becouse i relally love him…not Edward or Cedric bla bla bla…hima and his unik voice…

  • keri

    I would like to say that I would love to be your friend and if it led to more ok if not that’s good too. I think it’s cool to be in a long distance relationship cause then you don’t get tired of that person since you won’t be seeing them everyday or talking to them everyday. I’m not someone that has to have lots of attention. I’m very independent. I would like to know more about the real you since I hear and read so much about the actor/musician you. If it’s cool w/you why don’t you post back and lets talk sometime. Like I said it would be cool to be a friend for you when you needed one. I hope you stay the way you are and don’t let the attention and fame get to you like it has others. I’m a single 32 year old woman that lives in Murchison, TX. Write back sometime.

  • YOUNwoman23

    that above post is hilarious…a 32-year old is way too old to be friends with a 22-year guy. Cougar behaviour at its best. Why don’t you and your half dead ovaries go find a man that is closer to your age..say 40??hahaha

  • stupid

    the one that made a comment about the cougar, well I happen to agree w/the above lady, I mean she doesn’t seem to be like all you tweeny babies going around chasing him and all, she’s staying pretty cool I think, keep dreaming you stupid little girl

  • keri

    the one that called me a cougar, I’ll have you know that there’s nothing wrong w/me wanting to be his friend, I mean there’s a 60something year old on another site that wants to be his friend as well, so is she something beyond a cougar, at least I don’t follow him around or oooohhhh and aaaaahhhh over him like some teeny bopper

  • Grand!

    I agree with the other two ladies, I mean the “boy” is handsome and all…but jeezz… he is immature… and it comes with it’s age… I am just close to his age, but I can tell he has never been in love (diferent then just to sleep with!) who on earth want to have a long distance relationship? and now he has older women hunting him down? I wonder if my grandmom is after him too. I wonder if the women with more experience realize that he is just an actor a good one but he is diferent than the real person. Mr. Pattinson if you ever read this, have a good chuckle on my name, and I like the movie, congrats on your sucess.
    Lady keep dreaming. He will be laughing to read us!

  • Kate

    I don’t think that there is anything wrong with a little escapism. He seems like a nice person and if she want’s to be friends with him, who’s to laugh at her fantasy? He does seem to have a good head on his shoulders and that makes him much more approachable. I really hope that fame doesn’t change his wonderful attitude.

  • wales

    you re all really bloody silly!

  • Cia

    Hello… He is a moviestar and he will choose between women that are in all ages and moviestars or models or the best people around him. He will not get to know someone ordinary like U or Me or some fan longing for his looks… He is a person an he would like to have someone around him that knows him for who he is. He knows what he wants so leave him be.. It is his life and his choise in life and he will choose for his needs and carefully as anyone alse would.
    So dream on but do not hope to much. And wake up and look around you there is somebody for everyone clouser you than you think.

  • keri

    Enough already. Yes he’s okay to look at, but the looks will fade in time just like his popularity will when someone younger and better looking comes along. Look at the guys that are making up the wolf pack in New Moon. Girls are already going stupid over them. The major thing to remember is that they are all actors here to entertain us and to make loads of money for themselves. No they will never go for ordinary people like us, they’ll just stick w/the Hollywood folks. No there’s nothing wrong w/dreaming or wishing, but make sure that you do stay in reality. Yes there’s always someone just around the corner where you are, so just wait for it.
