Chances are very slim. It is very difficult and irritating to date someone who lives far away. I recommend avoiding it.

Yes, it can be successful only if you love each other immensely and if you guys are loyal to each other. When I went to visit middle east a few years ago I saw many foreign men who left their girlfriends, fiancees and wives in their home countries for working there. Those men were quite attached to their ladies. There was no sign of unfaithfulness in their eyes. Whenever they got time they made a call to them or sent gifts. So you see distance relationships do work. If you want to know whether this works in United States, I can give u the proof. And the proof is the American army in Iraq. They are having a long distance relationship with their spouses and girlfriends right now.

It depends. The only thing about a long distance relationship is that you never really know the other person. The other person could be living a totally different life that you might not ever know nothing about. I think that you should consider this person a friend and not a companion. I know a couple of people who thought they had actual long distance relationships and soon enough they found out things were not like that had anticipated them to be.

It depends upon your definition of "successful." If both parties are committed to the relationship, it can work, but long distance relationships can feel unfulfiling. Just my experience. It seems that the people involved eventually reach a point of "why am I doing this?" and it just sort of falls apart. Sometimes.
Ideally, the goal of any relationship is "happily ever after.." so eventually, the relationship, if it works, becomes something permanent, with the involved parties compromising on where to live and raise the kids, y'know?

Many people have long distance relationships which strangely enough appear to work for them. You'd freak if you knew just how many people have long disant relationships and swear by then. Think for a minute how many humans on the planet follow a creed or religion, having a relationship with God or Jesus or Mohammed, not that is a long distance relationship, works for many of them.

It depends on how well you trust each other--and how strong your relationship is. This is a big test for your relationship. Personally, my boyfriend and I are very needy, and we get jelous easily. I've known many people who have made it through long distance relationships, because they were strong and mature enough to handle their significant others' life without them close by.

i truly believe that if 2 people are meant to be together - they will. no matter how many miles are between them. yes, long distance relationships can be really tough, for the many obvious reasons, and there may be months, maybe years that you are apart and maybe not even speaking - but if it truly is "love" you will be able to work it out and be together someday.

Depending on the age and maturity of the individuals, if you keep it real, and keep it HONEST. Communication is the key to ANY relationship, no matter how far apart you are!

Are you referring to a romantic relationship? Pretty tough if you are talking long-term. Romantic relationships require at least minimal personal contact.

Possibly, if neither of you need a real time, live and present sweetheart. There might be 2 people like that on the planet . . . maybe . . .
