To make any relationship work two persons must be comitted to each other. Lack of sincerity at any distance will result in failure.

Be open and honest. Learn to communicate with each other. Find ways to do things together, like renting the same movie and watching it at the same time so that it feels like you're watching it together. It's all the little things that make a relationship work whether it's long distance or not. A relationship is still a relationship. I think it makes sense and it's worth it. You learn to communicate and talk out problems without having a physical relationship complicate things. It will ultimately make you stronger as a couple. At least, that's how it's worked for us so far.

Depends what you call Long Distance.

My wife is working 200 kilometres (120 miles) away but we "catch up" every 2 weeks, it's really sexy and romantic, we book into hotels for the weekend and stuff. This is a temp situation and I can't wait until school finishes (she is a school teacher) so we can hold each night.

Before I met my wife I had a long term long distance relationship with a woman in Texas, I was in OZ for much of the time but having her voice on the phone, chatting about things, planning our next meeting really balanced our different timezone lives.

Distance is the biggest key, my Texan beauty and I relalised we had physical needs, but we avoided creating emotional relationships with our infrequent sexual partners.

Our key was emotional understanding and desire for each other, honesty (but not graphic tell all) and maturity.

Good Luck (Rod from OZ)

It depends on the individuals. It also depends on the miles between the two of you. It also depends on your determination to maintain the relationship from a distance. There is an old saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." If you and your friend can see each other on fairly frequent occasions then the relationship can work but otherwise it will not unless you are both totally committed to having the relationship work regardless of the miles between you. I have had a few long distance relationships and I can tell you it is possible for them to work. In fact I have one now and she lives in Miami, FL while I live here in Charlotte, NC. We have had our relationship ongoing now for over 3 years. I think the world of her and she thinks the world of me. We care about each other. How is it with you and your friend?

Long distance relationships are tough but they can definitely work. Both people have to be committed to it and realize that it takes a little extra work. Lots of phone calls, ims, and emails make a big difference. Even though its not quite the same as having the person close, it makes the moments you have together even more special.

Good luck!

Personally, I believe that long distance relationship do work..and does make sense...if you've at least met the person before..and hung out with them before. I'm not talking about online chatting..then meetng once or something..i'm talking about say...u visited his state or something..and u guys happen to be friends...for like months or so..hung out..got to know each other..and found that u like each other...then u left the state...then in cases like that..i believe that long distance relationship do work....however...it rarely does. It's not impossible tho. In order to nurture a long distance relationship...both must be very faithful towards each other...that way..things would not easily alter the relationship. Considering you dont' get to see each other often...it takes a lot of affection and faithfulness to keep your heart from altering or changing feelings.

It's not too hard, I've done it. You just have to chat on the phone/online a lot, and going to visit them always helps too. Send them letters, postcards, presents - make them feel special, and make them realise that even if there is a distance between the two of you, you still care about them.
