Yes, If you trust each other, love each other, respect that it will be difficult, be honest with one and another, make time and plan to see each other, and if advances one party or both partys are willing to relocate down the track. The last point you need to discuss before you enter a long distant relationship, or your heading for heartache before you start if neither will be prepared to move in the future if it works. It worked for me.

A long distance friendship has a better chance of working than a relationship. From my own experience, I decided to move out of state to be with someone, instead of talking to them long distance.That didn't work to well either,they were totally a different person,I should of just let it stay a long distance friendship.But long distance relationships are hard, you really have to be committed to each other in order for it to work. And eventually find a way to be in the same place in the future,the longer you are dealing with each other from a distance, the farther your relationship will become. You have no idea what each other is doing on a daily basis, just by conversation alone. And either one of you could easily meet someone else, so unless your really committed, I personally don't see it working out.

Possible, but not probable. Reason being is that in order to have a healthy relationship two people must remain in constant communication in order to keep the relationship going and strong. Even if there is constant communication (calling on the phone, writing letters etc.), there is no physical presence which is also a huge key in developing feelings and a sense of comfort. Long distance relationships are difficult and as much as you might love the person, the relationship will never mature as much as it would if it were not long distance.

Hi, Well it depends how far away you two are??? I personally tried a long distant relationship a few years ago. First it started as friends in a chat room, than we had private time on line for 1 year. Next step phone calling, after 2 1/2 years, I got a 2 way ticket to see this guy courtesy of the guy. No pressure just a open relationship. However it was a world away from one coast line the the other coast line. What about 3,000 miles away from one another!!!!! . We hit it off, but after 30 days it was time to fly home ( very sad) (very confused) ( Very hard).... I planned to go back in 3 months . In the mean time we kept up on line aswell the phone, Long story short.... How can you grow together when you cant LOOK into each others eyes??? How can you be sure of loyality when you see each other so far and inbetween times ??? It was so hard because it was all talk and no touch..No kisses no bonding in person...We wanted to be together so bad, but neither of us wanted uproot our lives (jods, family, friends, etc ) as we were unsure if it would really work out. It really boiled down to we were just to far away to be together pysicial. How can you grow and fall in love on a phone, or through letters, or on a cam on your computier???? So we parted as friends and in the long run it was the best chose.So Im going to say NO they dont work, for my self it wasnt the best way to go. Hope this helps your decision <

I know of one couple that "yes" it worked and they were 1000 miles frome each other...
Myself...my boyfriend is 145 miles away and it's somewhat difficult...we e-mail and talk everyday. I would rather him be the distance away than not know him at all. So the answer is yes, long distance relationships work when no one else can do it for you that lives close by.

i think they will. If both the people are commited and wont cheat. They should talk to eachother everyday or every other day. There should be lots of communication in a long distance relationship.

It didn't work for me ....
But, doesn't mean that it won't work for anyone else.
I think as long as the long distance isn't forever ... or too long I should say.
Good luck!!!

it takes a huge committment from both people..in terms of especially trust...however the deeper you get into one the more painful it is especially if the two people cant meet due to various reasons..best not to get into one if you feel one of you cannot last...cuz when you breakup out of one its very painful and very difficult to move on...consider many things before you take the step to have one...
