They can work, but you have to take a lot of things into account.
First, how long is "long distance?" Are we talking an hour or two drive, or across the country? Both can work, but the longer the distance, the less frequently you'll see each other, and the harder it can be to maintain that closeness.
Secondly, how serious a relationship are you interested in? If this is one of those "we can be friends, and if things work out sometime soon, it can be more" relationships, that's ideal. If you're wanting it to be a serious and fully-committed relationship right away that can be hard. The worst thing is the difficulty in not seeing each other as often as you'd like, especially in those times when the frequency between visits is slow. Another problem would probably be the inclination to wonder if the other is really being true to you, or is truily committed to making it work long-term. If you're talking mostly over the phone and computer, you're not going to be able to really get a read on what's going through the other's mind.
Finally, is there an end (to the distance between you) in sight? This, to me, is the single most critical point in a long-distance relationship. I've had two in my life - the first was early in college, and it didn't work out because we just didn't know when we'd be able be living in the same place. The second was toward the end of college, and we communicated enough about our goals and where we wanted to be after school, so we made it work (we've now been married for almost 12 years!).
So take all of that into account before you decide to invest any emotions in a LDR!
Good luck...

Erm, well I'd say a long distance relationship is one thing, and a relationship that started via a prank phonecall is another!! I met my ex on holiday, we had a two week holiday romance, and then a 6 month relationship whilst we were living a 4 hours drive away from each other. It was hard, it got impossible in the end...I didn't always want to spend 4 hours driving to see him on my weekends, and I was missing going out with my friends etc...and I didn't live alone, so he couldn't come to me. We finished on good terms in the end, because it had got to the point where we knew it was going no where....but we're still in contact now, he's expecting his first baby in July, and I have two children with my partner.

it is hard but not impossible, distance can be good for a relationship as you will always look forward to the time you spend together and value it as oppose to seeing each other every day, it is a nice way for love to grow without the suffocation, iif you really like this guy and he you then just carry on as you are, there will come a time if the relationship flourishes where you will no doubt need to decide where to live but dont worry about that now, just enjoy what you have right here and now and time will be your answer, good luck i hope it all works out, i am a true believer in fate and the way you met seems very fated so go with it.

Yes it is, but if you care about each other enough and TRUST each other enough it WILL work.
My fiance and I met online in 2002. Met face to face Feb 2003.
We lived 2 1/2 hours from each other, two states away. We saw each other every/every other weekend for a little over a year.
July 2004 I moved in with him.
He proposed Aug 2006.
Long distance relationships CAN WORK!

I believe so. Even though it takes alot of hard work and determination. I know its hard sometimes when you can't see each other but i'm in the same situation and all I do is look forward to the future. If my girlfriend moved to australia i would find a way to make it work. It all depends on how much you love the person.

The answer to your question is 'no, not always'. But after reading the details I'm getting the impression you have never even met?
Anyway, it doesn't sound anywhere near strong enough to last a long distance.

Yes.
Lots of factors come together obviously to make or break but long distancers make it hard from the start.

It is hard but, the second time around is working better than the first time ( with different people)
