THe hard thing about a long distance relationship is the fact that you are living such separate lives.
You have different friends, different places to go, different experiences.... it often just causes people to grow apart.
That doesn't mean that ALL long distance relationships fail. It just means that it is hard work and you have to have a lot of contact and sharing to involve each other in each other's lives as much as possible.
Keep in contact heaps!!! and see each other whenever you can!
It can work but it isn't easy!

Long distance relationships is the death of any relationship. I don't care how they say that love will last forever. It just won't, unless you found the person that is the love of your life.
But even the love of your life has needs. So what are we going to do about it, besides sit in front of the television and mope over how you miss him or her.
Life is too short for pain and it is always best to...I know this is easier said than done...but to go on with your life because you only live it ONCE!!!

I don't believe it will work because a long distance relationship is entirely unnatural.
If you're young (high school/college), you could really be missing out on important parts of your social development if you're spending all your time chatting on the internet or on the phone.
If you're an adult, a long distance relationship only makes sense if it's for short periods of time (example: military involvement or lots of work-related travel).

I have a couple of friends who are negative about it because they've had really bad experiences, so I'm sure it's probably the same for other people. Some people might just assume they won't work because they've never experienced it and think they could never be away from their significant other.
I'm engaged, but my fiance lives in the UK. The distance sucks, but it works for us because we're committed and it can work for other people too.

Probably b/c nowadays, people tend to cheat on their boyfriend or girlfriend easier. Plus, the distance gets to some people and they feel the need to cheat. Or they could just miss their significant other too much and just break it off.
I think if the two people love and respect each other enough, then it could definitely work.

Long distance relationships are hard unless you know it'll go somewhere, like you'll move closer to each other. I'm in one right now, but we see each other every weekend and I'm moving close to him in June. Plus we love and trust each other, and we did before we started dating, so it all works out. Good luck.

Because people that have been there and done that can tell you from their own experience that it hardly ever works out. Not just some people, almost all people. But good luck anyway. For every rule there's an exception.

Because they can be totally deticated to you on the internet meanwhile they're out partying. You have no idea if they're faithfull, theyre x miles away. People can be completely different in person too
