Answer 1

It can work, provided that you both want to make it work. It will not be esasy, but it is not impossible

Answer 2

If you think it's true love., go with your heart. Don't listen to other people if they tell you it's too easy for him to cheat. If he's honest and caring.. he's just as likely to cheat as would be a husband if you were married.

And don't listen to others if they say you're too young. You're never too young to fall in love. Yes, you are more likely to have your heart broken because of lack of experience, but you are just as entitled to love as any other human on this planet.

If this is true love and not just true lust.. or being so happy just because somebody is paying attention to you., then I'd go for it. Personally, I think you'll regret it more if you don't try it out.

I met a gal online.. from another country! The plane flight cost $1,500 or something like that.. one heck of an expensive first date eh?! But we chatted online for almost two hours every night for two years.

And it's funny, because right before I met her online I said.. okay this is enough.. no more long distance.. there's plenty of girls right in my city.

We are now happily married.. have been so for .. this year will be five years. We've had our tizzy fits and arguments but who doesn't. When things get hairy, we realize how wonderful it really is that we met the way we did and how great we have it together.

So yes, long distance relationships can work. They take more effort and patience, but they can work out just fine.

Answer 3

It actually could work if you really want it to and you try. I've been in a long distance relationship before, but we lived about 10 hours away and both decided to end it because we could only see each other during spring break. But if you put your heart into it and try, you can do anything, and you can make it work.

Answer 4

If the two of you can make it out to see each other at least once a week, or twice a month.. it can work. It's all about how much people want ot be around each other or need to be near each other. IF the two of you talk daily, and communicate it's fine. It's all about trust, love, and devotion. If you have those three things in your relationship it should work. If yo uare lacking one or more of those traits, then it possibly won't.

Answer 5

I think they can work. It's my first time experiencing one. I met my boyfriend online, and we've been together almost 5 months. He lives nearly 2000 miles away. I love him so much. We have our moments, but if you want it to work, you will make it work. Communication is a must. Don't listen to other people's negativity. You can make it work if you really try. And 5 hours doesn't seem too bad :) You can see each other every weekend!

Answer 6

well i say they cannot work based on lack of trust,but they do work if both parties are willing to put in the effort to commit and try to make things work out but importantly you must stay in constant communication with eachother but don't over do it give some distance between the both of you because at times if spending too much time on the phone begins to take a toll on the relationship a much needed rest is necessary but not too long one of you might slip up

Answer 7

you got to be so positive about all this and dont let everyone else who is negitive put you down. there is a chance it can work out, if it is true love the way you said it is then there is no reason for him or you to cheat on eachother. if he likes you then he will never see a grl the way he sees you, he will always want you. just give it a shot and it might work. hey think of it this way: it is better to have had eachother and never have to wonder how it would of turned out then to have never had eachother n to wonder how your relationship would have been if you did give it a shot. good luck and always SMILE! :) sorry if i didnt help you out i tried.

Answer 8

Anything can last long if you are in love and you want to make it work.But you may not know if that is the real him.Sometimes people act diffrently on the internet.Its much easier to say things on type than you would in real life.Love is love and if you really do love him you would wait and it would workout

Answer 9

WELL SINCE IT'S "TRUE LOVE" THEN YES A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP CAN WORK. "TRUE LOVE" CAN CONQUER ALL OBSTACLES LARGE OR SMALL.

NOW IF IT'S NOT "TRUE LOVE" THEN IT'S PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA AND A WASTE OF TIME. ONLY YOU KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY FEEL. I ONLY HOPE HE FEELS THE SAME AS YOU FEEL.

LOVE TAKES HARD WORK. IT'S NOT ALL PEACHES AND CREAM, SO WORK ON IT AND MAKE IT WORK. YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO. BUT JUST MAKE SURE IT'S NOT ONE SIDED THIS LOVE OF YOURS. IF IT IS THEN YOU REALLY NEED TO GET OUT AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE.

TAKE CARE AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
