Absolutely, however it does depend on the couple involved. You both need to know what your needs are and if you are both confident in yourselves and each other to keep the trust there. Trust is essential in any relationship to be successful but even more in a long distance relationship. An inventive imagination is also key in helping to keep the long-distance relationship fresh and to keep the interest alive.
It is an attainable goal. I married my international long-distance relationship and we will be celebrating our 8th year of marriage tomorrow.
Know thy self, have strength, conviction, trust and a love that touches the soul.

Was in a long distance relationship for 2 1/2 years , got married , she moved to where I'm at , had our first kid 3 years later , our 2nd child , two years after our daughter and now , after 9 years knowing each other and 6 years of marriage - I can't stand my wife's personality and want a divorce. I have 2 AMAZING kids from this " long - distance " relationship but a unhappy marriage as well. It works for some but... get to know and be with that person BEFORE you make any major commitment decisions... PLEASE !!!!!! KNOW their ins & outs , good and bad points and make a REAL GOOD HARD decision ; you'll thank me later....

Long distance relationships can work. I have been in one for almost a year. The key is keeping the lines of communication open, it's hard but if you really love somebody, trust them and naturally are very close, It definitly can work. Take it from me, b/c im N 1 now..

YES YES YES, if you make the decision to work at it. Now, it's not just your decision but also the dedication and willingness of the other person to work on it as well.
I met my husband on the internet, he was from Las Vegas, Nevada and I was from Toronto, Canada.
We met online in December of 2003, met in person May 2004, and married February 2005.
We talked online almost every day and we're still married and we'll be hitting our two year anniversary pretty soon!
Good luck! It's possible, you lose nothing by giving it a try.
I just want to add that:
There's always the possibility that it can work out if you try, but there's an absolute answer of no if you don't try.

NO!!!!! I dated a guy off and on for almost 6 years, most of the time it was long distance,,, in the long run it didnt work out. we tried to live together after about 18 months and found that we were not the same as we were in the letters and emails we wrote to eachother! it's not all you think it might be.

If both parties are committed and willing to communicate openly to make it work, yes, they can work! Many write off the idea from the get go. Most people in regular relationships dont even make communication a priority, more or less people who are apart....it is possible if the desire is there.

Well, it's like this;
Cyber kisses are really sweet. But, then you start wanting the real thing, really bad. (Isn't that right baby) So, how can I get that if he is long distance? Or, rather, 'far away'?
I don't know about you, but I want to feel his hands in my hair or holding me and not on his keyboard or his phone.
I want to wake up in his arms every morning and kiss his lips.....personally. Think about it.

If there is major trust in the realtionship, then by all means yes. But if there is always that twinge of doubt whenever you think about the distance and the other possibilities that could be going on, it never does. Trust me, I've had two and both were rubbish.

Statistics show that long distance relationships generally do not survive.
I think it depends on the level of maturity you have and the commitment you make with each other. Even then the odds are stacked against you.
