Well, there's a lot you don't get to experience about a person when they live far away and only know them through phone calls. When you see eachother it's all sunshine and moon-beams making up for lost time...and over the phone the ugly little details don't get mentioned. So if you ever get the chance to be close to the person permanently, you may discover certain personality traits that you do not like.
but
if you have been dating for a while and the distance is yet to occure and temporary, the relationship may work. both people need to be committed to eachother and the relationship.

Maybe if you like arranged marriages and mail order spouses!
Seriously though, I think both parties would have to be truly honest in their communications. You can't really see how each other reacts in a real situation. There should come a time where lots of time is spend together in the family and normal environment of the other person both ways. Getting to know a person requires seeing them at their worst and best, with family, with friends, etc. That takes time that can't be substituted for long distance. I think if some quality time could be spent together to build a solid foundation, then the times of separation would not be a factor.
I would say it's best to pray about God's will for your partner before proceeding.

Hi !!!
I think so. Long distance relationship work provided the couple maintains their relationship smooth and intact in a way that communication is always there specially the trust to each other. It will further work if both is well open to each other, staying their relationship alive and by letting each other know how loved and special he/she is. Hope it hepls you. ^_^

It depends on the trust and communication you have.
What will you do if one of you gets lonely? What about intimacy? How will the relationship cohesively grow together?
They are VERY difficult relationships to maintain, but not impossible.

But he had his things going on we both met in houston we were together for a year then he told me that they offer him a beter job in florida so he left to florida so i stay in houston but it wasn't the same. we couldn't see each other and then he never called me or talk to me the way he usto it's just not the same. SO MY ANSWER IS NO . I think you need to do is dating people in your city .

If your both honest, and committed to it, and have a set time table that one will move to be with the other, it can work. but it can't last forever, and there is a lot of things that can go wrong.

Its possible, but it takes a lot of effort from both sides. In hindsight, I would avoid it if at all possible.

Rarely. Sometimes it just becomes more work than it is worth.
