Well Anquenette, I have been in a long distance relationship for over a year and it works very well for us. Both of us are divorced (ugly ones) both of us had spouses who cheated and we are both very good catches for what is available out there. We work because we are not able to rush in to anything. It has made us get to know each other on many different levels. We talk about everything going on in and around our worlds. We are both home owners and have jobs that require travel. We both respect each other and are not jealous types AND we especially look forward to the time we have together. Both of us are home bodies, but we go out no less than once a month on a "date". This is my second long distance relationship. I had a two year relationship with another man who died of heart failure. That was a good relationship too. It took two years to get over that shock. We were talking marriage at the time he died. So, hopefully, I have given you some hope than the other answers I saw....Good luck and go for it. nana

They usually don't work out well if one or both of you in the relationship are not the best at keeping in touch. However, long distance relationships can also make you stronger. If you are able to eventually have a close-distance relationship later, you will know that you really love this person if you made it through a tough time with them.

I tried to continue a relationship of 6 years that began when I lived in Chicago. I moved to Indianapolis and we continued for another year but it just didn't work out. I only saw him every month or so. I ended the relationship even tho' I didn't have anyone else. We are still friends and both still love each other but it left each of us free to meet someone else. If he moves to Indianapolis before I meet someone then who knows but I think this is the best way for now. It's very hard to do long distance.

Well i met a girl called Sherry on here 4 months ago. We have yet to meet face to face but we feel as close to each other as any 2 people possibly could. We call each other everyday and we both have web cams for the naughty stuff LOL. She lives 4000 miles away in Montana while i stay in Scotland so at first i was skeptical about it ever coming to anything but as the relationship progressed i realised i loved this girl very much, so much in fact that i am going to visit her for 3 whole months. We are so happy together although we are apart, but soon we will be together forever.

They are a lot of work. But make sure that you are looking at the long term and keep that in mind. Eventually someone is going to have to move if things "get serious". I feel that these can be great relationships though because it makes you have to communicate with each other in order to keep things going.

I think it would not be for me. My friend has been in one for a little over 6 months now. He asked the woman from Williston, ND to marry him the first time they met(dumb I know). He went to her hometown 2x to move her here both times she did not come back. She was just here on a visit. Said was going to move here in two weeks. Yet has still not given notice at work. So as said I think is not something I would ever want to get into.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I am all for long distance relationships. My husband was in the Canadian Navy when we met, I was a housekeeper in California for actor LeVar Burton. We talked on the phone and wrote letters for six months. Couldn't stand being apart anylonger so when he came to Caifornia we went to Las Vegas and got married. It's been 13 years and four beautiful children. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

long distance relationships are the best way to go. You won't get pregnant, catch any sexually transmitted diseases and won't get tired of hanging around with the same person all the time.

I think they do work if both people want it and not give up. I met someone from LA and I live in Texas. I was willing to keep the relationship but he couldn't do it. I was crushed...I still am...but I still write him to let him know that I care for him. Its hard, but if you don't have patience I don't recommend it. good luck!
