Funny you should ask this question now as I'm just going thru a long-distance relationship breakup.
She lives about 1 hours flight away and we didn't see each other often enough during our 4-year relationship. That was the first mistake.
Communication was great, on the phone every night; and the trust was there too. However, the one thing that killed it was lack of commitment. You can't sustain it forever so you MUST have a plan in place to be together eventually and you MUST set a date for this to happen.
That's what went wrong with my relationship and I'm really sorry it did.
Take my advice and set the end date. And do it soon.

That depends on:
1. How long you intend to sustain it for.
2. What your idea or a relationship IS in the first place.
3. The reason for the long distance.
4. How much you really want to sustain it.
There are probably other reasons, but I'm sleepy........

I am not going to say that it's easy; distance is distance! But where there is intention, and if it is two-way, then there is no reason on earth why you cannot sustain a long distance relationship!
And with the many communication lines open you have plenty of scope for this!
Good luck!

Very. My fiance lives in california and I live in Canada. we have been together for the last 9 months surviving on emails, internet phones (No charges there) and travelling back and forth. If you are truly in love, a soulmate, a love that lasts a lifetime, no distance is too great. It takes a great deal of patience and understanding, you must have a very open line of communication and a high level of trust. If you have all of those things then you can easily survive a long distance relationship.

I've been in a long distance relationship for two years now. It's worked well for us.

Yes, but it's rare. If you're only apart for less than a year and you have a strong bond, it can work. Longer than that and I've seen distance crush even strong marriages in time...

depends on the person. I dated a guy who lived an hour away and we lasted three years together. It really depends on the person. If he really likes you and has patience, then yeah, maybe. But if the guy just wants to kiss a girl already or go further, then I'm not sure if he'll last.

Yes it can work. You have to have a don't ask don't tell policy. Realize that you are miles apart most of the time. this means no questions about what the other is doing while apart.

Yes, if the two are dedicated and faithful to one another. It is hard, but can be done. Communication is the KEY!

It can work. It takes a lot of dedication and seeing each other whenever possible.
I wouldn't want it as a permanent thing.
