Sure, I've been with my boyfriend for three years and he decided to move to Argentina for a year. I couldn't go because I am finishing up my last year of grad school. I won't lie it was really tough and hurt my feelings that he could just get up and leave but we decided to see how things would work out and things have been going better than ever. I've kept myself busy with school and he's doing his exploring, I have also even gone down there for a month for a visit. I think what really helps is that we are planning to live in the same city as soon as he comes back in a couple months. So as long as I think you plan and set a time in the future when you can be together it can make things much easier and give you something to look forward to..So good luck, it's not impossible as long as you both work at it!

Leading with your emotions can be awfully disorienting, so it may be difficult to maintain a relationship overseas not knowing what to expect when things are blown out of perspective. Before you launch into this potential relationship, consider the pros and cons, your emotions, and your practicality. Understand that a long distance relationship has many limitations which physical contact involves. If you've been in a couple relationships and can draw out the characteristics you have in a relationship, this can help you determine whether or not you are okay with a long distance relationship. If you don't have much experience in terms of your love life, I personally recommend that you hold off unless this is a casual relationship just for dating. Do you like to spend lots of time with your significant other? Are you easily jealous? Are you easily tempted? What do you value most in a relationship?
Likewise, these questions can be evaluated by your overseas friend. But if you don't know, then consider holding off for now until you understand yourself or the other person. Emotions can hurt you, so try not to let it blind you. Otherwise, if you're a mature person seeking adventure or curiosity, give it a shot! Just understand that things may get more complicated than expected! Good luck!

My husband's parents started living in separate countries in 1990 or 1991. She moved to the US and he stayed in the Philippines. They communicated by fax and phone, and he would visit the states for a few months each year. Now they have email. They have a very loyal and loving marriage. I sometimes wonder if it's because of the distance. Ha. I think they'd prefer to be together, but their love is stronger than the planet.
My advice? Learn how to write incredibly vivid love letters. Good luck.

There's a chance but very difficult and limited if it works.Bec sooner or later,both of you will want to be with someone present.When you go out,attend gathering,etc, you cannot be all by yourself all the time for so long.Especially,if you meet someone who is readily available,
you wont bother anymore to keep in touch regularly with someone whom you cannot see.
For the meantime it will work,but you have to make a way that eventually one of you will transfer to be with each other.

yes , and anything is possible if you want it ! i have been in a long distance relationship for a yr n half .. no cam and no phone calls ! ;) so , it would be really hard but what keeps us going is how happy we are being together with each other and nothing can keep us apart ! even with the quarrels , we enjoy fighting ! and its only a matter of time , to be with the one you love forever . theres no distance between loving hearts .

wow, i have done long distance and have found it doesnt always work...but if it is true love than it just might work out for u...but if u really want it to work i would think that one of u is going to have to move...how do expect to have a relationship with someone on the other side of the world...sooner or later one of u is going to want more than a flight every few months to see each other, phone calls and emails...good luck though!!

Honestly, I can't see how it would work. I mean a huge part of a relationship is spending time together. And you want to be with that person all the time. I mean it would be a lot easier to have a friendship with this person. But as for a real relationship....I just dont' think it will be easy!!
GOOD LUCK THOUGH!!

Have you ever met him, or this an internet thing? If it's an Internet thing, no. GIve it up. You'll get scammed and heartbroken.
If you met him while he was here (whichever country "here" is for you), the only way it can work is if one of you decides the other is worth joining in their country. Otherwise, unless you're the gullible type, no, it can't work.

Of course. Love is the most powerful thing in the world and if it's the right thing it is never wrong. There is no distance between Love. If you feel it and they feel it, then it doesn't matter where the person lives.

Everything starts with the individual.
When you really want something to work and you put your mind to it it will definately work.
When your mind is set you will always find time for the things you want to do and time to be with the loved ones.
It has to work cos love is a universal language.
