Yes, they can and do work out!
My husband and I are proof ... we even had to live apart the first two years we were married .... as well as three years before that after we met.
That said ... It's not easy, and it takes total commitment from both persons and absolute determination to make it work.
Only the two of you can decide if it is worth it in your relationship to give it a try.

Less than an hour apart? I would not call that long distance, certainly that can work if you are well matched and want it too!
Hubby and I were 1200 miles apart with an international border between us!!

I am in a relationship with someone that lives in London and I live in the states so I have a unique perspective on it i guess. We have been "together" now for 2 years and 2 months. Less than ideal circumstances as you can see. But we love each other very much and when the time is right he will be moving here. You didnt say how old you guys were but I am assuming kinda young. Even if your boyfriend lived right down the street, a girl can have the same "feelings" that he may change his mind about you or dump you etc. Distance does make things a bit more difficult. Try to stay in touch with each other as much as possible without being too clingy. Send a card, or an email letting him know how things are with you ( family, school, job whatever) talk on the phone when possible, that kind of thing. Just know that if it doesnt work out and one of you decides to call it quits, its not the end of the world....My last boyfriend (who lived near me by the way) ended our relationship and I thought I would die..it hurt more than anything, and then it hurt less and less and then I met my current guy and he just lights up my life when we are together I have never been happier. They say when one door closes another one opens and I think thats true. Hope I helped, let us know how things are going:-)

Ok relationships that are over 2 hours away will not work out most of the time. So since he lives less than an hour away you have a good chance at keeping up this relationship. I've listened to dating doctors and stuff about this when they would come to college to do talks and he said that if they lived under 2 hours away you had a very good chance at that relationship. So good luck!!

I was in a relationship with my highschool sweetheart and got through my being in a college 4 hours away. In the end it didn't work out, but not because of the distance. I know people who live blocks from each other, but because of school, jobs, just an all around life, only see each other on the weekends, sometimes less. It really comes down to the effort you both make. As long as you want to make the effort to see each other when you want to see each other, you'll be fine.

Yes long distance work out. I am with a guy right now and he lives in Arizona and we talk on the phone. We see each other when we can. After I finish school and graduate in May 2008, we will get married and move to where ever he gets stationed at when he goes back into the regular army, because he is in the reserves now until sometime next year.

I dated the same girl while being 2 hours away, 6 hours away, and then across the ocean.. You can make it work, trust is essential, balance is nice (consistent amounts of attention)..
My relationship only ended because I was interested in dating someone else, but I do not consider the last relationship a failure.

Depends if you have established a very good foundation such as true friendship. Your distance is only less than an hour; it could work if you both want it to work.
If you are countries apart, that would be real difficult and will seldom work.

Less than an hour away......I don't think that'd be considered a long distance relationship. Sorry.
I'm engaged to a Navy man and we spent 6 months apart, me in Texas, and him in Washington.....now THAT'S long distance...
And it works. If you are both determined to stay together.
