depends if you find that one person who can make it worthwhile. I've been in one for the past 3 years, granted its across two cities in texas, about 700 mi apart. this isnt a little distance, but it's enough.
they are hard, but like i said, if you can find that one person, then you'll do it. it has to be well thought out, and cant be an impulse thing. i felt i could see my gf several times a year for a while at a time, and i felt i could arrange time to talk with her on the phone, and i did.
with long distance relationships, its about trust and communication. even if you two dont work out, you're still a better person because now you understand that trust and communication are essential to a relationship. it helps you become a better listener, helps you trust, and helps you learn if things dont work out.
luckily for me i found that girl and i will be in the same town in a couple of months once i start med school. but to me, being in the same town is just the start of the 'real' thing and i know we have enough history and know each other well enough to make it work.
being physically together day-in and day-out is the real challenge.
go for what you want. live life.

Welllll - it all depends on how deep the relationship is ! I am in SA and my b/f is in UK and we really love each other and remain faithful and 1 of us flies out to see the other 1 every 2 months or so. It has worked for us but it has become annoying and irritating not having him around when I need a shoulder to lean on so we are going to get together now. Its been good and it does work, but there are lots of sacrifices in it. I basically live like a recluse when I am not with him.

If the relationship aims to be platonic,well and good. You can freely express your opinion and ideas and get feed back without any reservations. If a person is aiming a love relationship keeping the distance it is a waste of valuable time.

I don't know if they are good, but they are doable. My brother dated his girlfriend for 1 and a half years long distance. They saw each other about 2 x's a month. They lived 6 hours (driving) apart. They are now married for a year and their 1st child is on the way.

im in a long distance relationship. and yes its hard, but not really at the same time. we call each other pretty often and hes coming in the spring to see me. all relationships are hard. the only difference between long distance and close distance relationships is that in close distance relationships there is more drama and more of a chance to get hurt

I've been in 2 LDRs, they were not successful, lasted for only a year or so, but i never regret anything coz you learn a lot from being in one. I guess you just have to be strong and mature and find someone who has both these qualities and loves you so much, if you're considering to have this. Not advisable though if you're the kind who's jealous and very suspicious.

Not so much 'good' or 'bad'...but hard. It takes work...but if you feel the person is someone you are going to really invest your life in...then you guys decide to work hard at staying close despite the miles. Sometimes, it makes you better together, and sometimes it shows that the relationship is not supposed to be...good luck.

there are good and bad
good are : 1. you get more of your space and privacy
2. there is not much things u need to do for that "someone"
3. only phone call, letter or mails
bad are: 1. you dont know whether he is honest with you
2. he is not there for u to hug or hold on to when you need him
3. you cant get the "warm" from him

In my opinion it doesn't work. Nothing wrong with having a long distance love, but you still gotta live your life. I would put myself on hold or anything.
