Sometimes It is very difficult, but depending on how much the two of you are willing to work on it and trust each other and stay together, you could easily make it!! A huge factor is your ages too. If you are younger, it may make it a little bit more difficult because you are both still growing and your personalities are changing and it may be possible that you will grow apart. However, there are a few things you can do in my own experience of a past relationship that made the time much better and made our relationship last (we broke up after we got back together, but made it through the years away --- wierd huh?)
---Keep in touch daily. Mix it up with phone calls, letters, emails, cards, etc...
--- Plan reunions to keep both of you pleased about the relationship. If your partner needs closeness, set up plans to meet often. Having a date to look forward to can help you through the rough times.
--- Reaffirm your love and commitment to one another. Try not to assume that the relationship is thriving. Listen to your partner's concerns and communicate your own before they become bigger problems.
--- Keep your partner informed about your life. You may live separately, but sharing information about your activities and friends is still important. That way they feel like they are still connected with you emotionally and socially (even though not physically).
--- Trust in one another. (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)
--- Keep the relationship a high priority. Avoid canceling reunions or putting off a phone call.
--- Focus on the future. Make plans to live in the same city eventually.
---Surprise your loved one with an unexpected visit or a bouquet of flowers to keep the passion alive. (When my bf did this to me, i was soooooooo excited, i absolutely loved it!!!)
Good luck, I know you can make it work if you really put your heart into it!!!

Not very likely. You have to have known each other and developed a strong relationship before the long distance things occur. And both of the people in a long distance relationship have to commit to 100 %/ 100% to make it work.

They can work if you work at them. They are like any other relationship. Try writing letters and talking on the phone. Always share what happens in your day. When you are together, make the best of your time by hugging, kissing, talking, and creating lasting memories. I won't tell you it will be easy. I have been in a relationship for 3 years and half of it was spent away from each other. If the bond is there it will last. If it isn't then it isn't worth your time. Give it a try. The worst that could happen is that it doesn't work out.

I once asked myself this question.My longest relationship was long distance. I fell in love with him. We saw each other every weekend. He came with my family and visited me and we drove down to see him. He was my first love but we broke up because of another girl. I guess you can't really ask that question to people you don't know. I think the question you need to be asking is if a long distance relationship will work for you. I think it depends on the people in the relationship, there has to be alot of trust in a long distance relationship because you can't always be there to watch what he is doing. I hope this has helped and i hope you make the right choice.

Mine is, I'm in a long distance relationship for 2 yrs now. But he's moving back here in 3 months can't wait. If you both love each other it will work. But will be very hard at times. Good Luck.

If you love each other, trust each other and want the relationship to work, it will work.
I'm in a long distance relationship myself, it will soon be one year behind us, and we're not close to each other at all... we're on a different continents. But that only makes us work harder on the relationship, and coming to see each other.
Just believe in it, and it will work out for you two.
Good luck! :-) (you'll need it)

Lets just say that success of a long distance relationship is a function where Distance and degree of commitment are directly proportional.
