Long distance relationships can work if you are both very committed to each other and want to make it work. Trust is a very important and strong factor. The two of you need to be very emotionally and mentally strong towards each other. How often will you see each other? How far away are the two of you? Is it another state, another city, another country? Both of you need to make an effort to try to see each other every holiday, or at least every two months. How do you deal with temptations? Because you will have temptations one day or another. My answer is yes. It can work, but it will take more effort, commitment, trust, and compromise.

Sometimes long distance relationships do work. They usually work best when you have known the other person for awhile because it means that you already have a basis for a relationship. If it starts off long distance then there is less chance of it working out because then trust becomes an issue. She wants to know exactly where you went and who you saw and you'll both get suspicious of each other and then the relationship is doomed. Its also a lot easier to fight with each other when you aren't face to face, and they become more serious because you can't sort things out face to face. But if you already knew each other, and you feel that you can trust each other completely, and you are prepared to work hard at the relationship and make it work, then the distance won't make as much of a difference.

Im in one, and have been for 4 years. We live in different countries and just visit each other for months at a time, then stay apart for months. It takes a lot of hard work, and a lot of time and patience... also self control. But yes they do work. We just recently got engaged and are moving in together permanently in the next couple of months. Hes the best thing that ever happened to me, and I dont know what I would do without him... hes the only person or thing in the world that can put a smile on my face. The 4 months were really really hard, and heart breaking when we had to say goodbye, but in the end it was all worth it, and if I had to I would do it all again because I know hes worth waiting for. If you dont love your girlfriend, then it might be best to let her go, but if you love her and cant imagine being without her, then you should definitely try it, because if you love each other and want to be together enough, it will happen.

Let her go
They only work for a short time
If you are not planning on moving to be with her and vice versa what is the point.
A phone and a computer arent the same as a walk in the park and a kiss after a long day

I dont think of all of us desires to have an prolonged distance dating. lifestyles occurs and gets in the way, you basically could paintings around it. If somebody desires to be with their long distance BF or GF adequate/or they love them adequate, they're going to circulate to the place the different guy or woman is and end the long distance element. those people who've relationships over the internet or out of state "merely by way of fact" are probable dropping their time. long distance relationships wont final if there isnt dedication.

From my personal experience i would say no because if you are really in loved with this person you are going to want to see him/her every minute and you wouldn't want to just think about him/her you would actually want to hold that person in your arms and to be able to feel their touches. Then again if you love this person a lot you wouldn't let distance get in the way of y'all love.To put this in a short statement what i'm really trying to say is follow your heart and let it do the talking for you.

It always depend on the person. How well are you able to handle it or not. If them being gone make you want to be with someone near or you are strong enough to deal with knowing they arent going anywhere.............Its a 50/50 deal some are able to and some are not ...........the real question is are you able to handle it. (The plane always work when you want to see them LOL.)

it depends on you both and on many other reasons. But that requires much energy, and... agreement of your girlfriend, doesn't it? Hope you'll succeed, i know one couple who were going to get married for 5 years. They did. But sometimes... Try and find out.
