What's your opinion on long distance relationships? I'm currently in one and debating on whether or not I should stay in it. I really love the guy, but sometimes it's just tough to barely ever be able to see him.

Long distance relationships are really hard to maintain. Unless you both have a huge commitment and unconditional trust for each other, it's not easy to keep the relationship alive. If you're really that into each other, one of you should move closer to the other.

No one should ever attempt a long distance relationship unless they were willing to move if the relationship worked out. If neither one is willing to do that then it's not really a relationship but a convenience.
You are agreeable to a long distance relationship because you have issues with being close to someone. Long distance relationships are perfect for people who wish avoid the real world and relationships. It's a way of avoiding the real world. Which isn't to great sometimes. Your life might not be in a place where a in town relationship would be acceptable to your psyche right now.
Don't get me wrong, long distance relationships are great. I think the internet is a great way to meet a soul mate. But if you are wishing to hide behind the computer and phone because you can't deal with the reality or demands of in town relationships then you need to be honest with yourself about that. Then deal with it or accept or fix it. It's your life, what do you want?

How far, how long?
How far away, how long you dated before he went away? How long before he comes back?
If you haven't gone through the dating part of the relationship, then you don't really know enough about each other to keep a LDR together.
Love is not "Add hot water & stir". Love takes a lot of the right ingredients, mixed thoroughly and baked at the proper temperature.
Love takes time to grow. And to do that you have to be around each other. Have to know enough about each other to make that informed decision to be together, stay together. Without that, you are waiting on a maybe.
Good luck.

I know a couple (that just got married) who knew each other for 6 months and then were separated for two years, one in the US, one in Eastern Europe.
During the two years they communicated regularly and even traveled to spend time together on vacations.
Obviously, their love was very strong and there was an end to the separation they both could see.
The question you need to answer is how strong is your love, and can you see the end of the separation. If you can answer these you will know what to do.

It depends on how much you love him. Is he worth the distance? Only you can answer that.
