Well, if you are going to see other men, probably not. It CAN work but you both have to be committed to it. My husband in an Aussie. We met on line, I was in Indiana at the time and he was in Australia. Long story short, it was love and still is, we have been married for 10 fabulous years now.

I'm one of the good stories from Long Distance relationships. We dated for a year while I lived in Missouri, he lived in Oklahoma. It's possible... but it takes a lot of trust and love to get through it. Many expensive phone bills and ticket prices later... As long as you communicate regularly, make plans to see each other when you can, you can do it. But I will say this... It will take a toll on you both, and sometimes you might not think it's worth it, just depends on how much you love this person... If you try the relationship, staying in it and being apart for very long won't work well. Eventually one of you will have to give and come to the other. We did a year long distance, and then I moved to be with him. We've been together two years now... doing great. Just takes a lot of hard work.

I suppose I would have to say no due to experience. the last two relationships I had were long distance, the first guy was American (I am in U.K) I went out with him for about 2 years, I almost married him but when it came to the crunch I couldnt leave my friends and family. The second relationship was a guy in this country, he lived about 2 hours away. We saw eachother most weekends but it was very hard work, when I drove to him i was always so tired and I felt sick from the driving. He ended up doing most of the visiting and it ended between us as I took everything he did for granted.
I am now seeing a guy who is local, he works away sometimes and it is nice to get some space but it is also nice to know that he is around most of the time.

If I loved some one that much and was sure of the relationship I would move to Australia in a heart beat. Long term relationships do not work out very well for any length of time.

Id say in a cause like this the long distance isn't going to work. How do you know he's not seeing other women? and even if you do talk im sure because of the time change its not very often, so I think you should see other people that actually live in cali. if you want to stay friends with him thats cool just let him know and dont waste your time

In my opinion, long distance relationships never work. But I guess it depends on how you are keepin' in touch with each other. If both of you guys are talkin' to each other everyday, then it might just work. But if you are only talkin' days or weeks at a time, then you might think twice about what you are getting yourself into. You also have o think about whether he is telling you lies about what he's been doing, or vice versa. Jealousy might also come into play, even assumuptions. So if I were I would think twice about this relationship.

Well I have been dating my guy for 8 years...7 years ago he joined the US Army, I lived in Ireland, he lived all over the world. We got engaged at christmas and moved in together in June. So yes this long distance relationship worked...you need communication and lots of it and not to be afraid to tell the other person how you feel/whats bothering you/if your pissed off/happy/sad etc etc.
If you decide to pursue your new relationship, I wish you the very best of irish luck, coz its hard

Long distance relationships are hard. Unless he's planning on moving here, I would date other people and try to appreciate it as an awesome summer love. Just keep in touch and leave the door open.

Unless you or him plan on visiting each other quite often, then I would just try to forget about the aussie and move on. It just won't work out if you never see each other. Good Luck
