Recently I met a very gorgeous, funny, intelligent man online that is soon going to be moving to Virginia Beach from Bangkok. I really like him and I believe the feeling is mutual and we both have agreed to remain friends until we figure out exactly what we both want.
He is everything that I want in a man; he is a virgin, hard-working, intelligent, funny, etc. But the problem is that if we get into a relationship I wont be able to move to Virginia for 2-3 more years when I finish my bachelors program (which wont be an issue because i want to get out of Kansas anyways).
In your opinion can long distance relationships last this long?? How much faith should I put in the situation, and what are some signs that the relationship will turn from being a serious friendship to a serious .... relationship.??

It can work if you both are committed to the relationship and each other. Be certain first that he is who he says he is

I am going through the long distance thing right now. . I ain't going to lie, its hard work. We care a lot about each other, but we have our arguments.. Its because we cant physically be with each other, the little things will matter so much. We want to be able to wake up next to each other, and hold each other, do stupid things together when we want. We cant because we are so far away. We are trying to make it work, but you have to be willing work hard. If you are OK with not having as much physical contact then go ahead, but if you haven't been around each other you should try it before actually committing to the relationship, spend time together. You never know if you will connect in a way other then on-line. Trust me, it makes a difference.... Good luck!!

I met my husband while he was studying in the US. We dated for 8 months then he returned to Italy. We kept in touch by phone, computer, etc.., and visited 3 times over the course of 2 years while I finished my degree.
I then moved to Italy to see what would happen with us, and we've been married for 9 years now.
And we didn't have plans on it becoming anything more than a fun relationship with no ties (I was recently divorced).
So, follow your heart...and don't expect it to all be wonderful. It will be difficult at times, but if it works, you know it was meant to be.

Anything is possible (even long distance relationships) if you are both committed to sustaining your relationship (of whatever kind).
How much faith you should put in is down to you. Do you want it to work? Are you prepared to trust him?
Friendships can be picked up and put down. They are always there and don't need continuous reinforcement. "Relationships" are much more intense and require constant effort, from both parties, to assure and re-affirm bond-pairing. If both of you increase the communication traffic between you - and you both miss something when it sparsens, then you will know that it has moved on from a friendship.

I don't think a long distance relationship last long because you are not seeing him or her and even if you talk on the phone with them does not mean he or she has another woman or man over the house.Or he or she might be cheating on you and just not telling you.So if I was you I would be confident in myself and wait for the right person to come along trust me the day will come when bump into a person and you just full in love.I know this is true because it happen to me!
