Are you both trying to make it work?
I've made it work. It was hard work, but in the end it was worth it. My husband and I dated long distance for over 2 years, sometimes being less than 2 hours away and sometimes being 5000 miles away from each other.
My friend and her fiance made it work, and they were oceans apart. HOWEVER, their relationship is fragile. Neither one is willing to give up their homeland after the wedding.
Long distance relationships require trust, honesty, and trying to make it work. In the end one of you is going to have to pick up and transplant his or her life to be with this other person. Most of all...communicate.
Long distance is GREAT in getting each person to realize the importance of being indepedent. However, it can be stressful if you're not used to it.

Oh, by all means, if the person and you are well suited. My husband and I courted long distance for three years. We were both very involved in our professions, so when we were together, it was a real treat. We now have an eight year old and live together. I feel like the time at a distance really helped us to know each other in ways that could not have been achieved if we had been in the same town, and gave us some fabulous vacations together.
We had a long weekend every month, sometimes more, met in Denver, Washington DC, Tahiti, and various other locales, including homebase. You did not have the day to day headaches of intown boyfriend/girlfriend, but always had something to look forward to.
You have to really trust the other person, though, and not get jealous if you can't get in touch with them for a period of hours, or even a day or two.

I think that long distance relationships are not worth holding on to because you and the person you're dating might find someone else and don't tell one another it will be like what's the sense of dating one another when these will happen.

Actually I am having the same problem like you cuz I love a girl who lives in another country and we meet 2 monthes in the year. Long distance relationships are worth it only if you are going to marry this person one day and live together forever. but if u are just playing around, it is mush easier to find a somebody in your area to fool around with. hope I helped.

Every relationship is worth holding onto as long as both parties work on it together!

I hate to say it, but the younger you are, the less likely it's going to work, because one of you is likely to start seeing someone else that's closer & more convenient, then not telling the other person until it's painfully obvious.
I think these only work, if you've spent a lot of time together at some point, and if you make a point of getting together as often as you can, AND you set a date to get married or engaged.
If it's not serious enough to do that, then it's not serious enough to keep from seeing someone else if the opportunity arises.

Yes, but you will have to work very hard to keep it.
Keeping it long distance is one of the ultimate tests to prove your love.
A few years may seem long, but the end results can last even longer.
If there is one word that can describe the key to maintaining the long distance relationship, it's teamwork.

they can be. only if you think you have a future. i dont know how old oyu are but if your thinking marriage in the next like 5 or 6 years then you should see (without asking) if he is planning on marriage b/c if not then its a waste of time. my close friend just wasted about 4 years on a guy she wanted to marry but he didnt feel the same way.
long distance - hardly ever worth it, unless theres a future

I don't know, I am going through one right now, and I am so confused if it is worth it or not. Don't hardly ever get to see him, just get to talk on the phone with him right now, and it realy hurts, almost enough to just call it quits.
