hey, you never, ever know.
If it is truly meant to work out,
than it will. Just give it your all
and don't be afraid to try new things.
Long distance relationships are hard,
but if the people really like each other then
you should really give it a try...
here are some things that you can do:
1. Have a webcam date. Make a romantic
setting, and eat the same food, or watch
the same movie, etc.
2. plan on doing the same exact thing, at the
same exact time. It may sound corny, but
it will make you feel special to know that
the one you love is doing the same thing
as you.
3. Write down things from your day, and
then give it to each other at the end of the
week.
4. there are lots of shops that sell
stuffed animals etc. where you are able
to record your voice and a saying. Those
are romantic and it always is good to hear
your loved ones voice.
5. Get a voice recorder and talk. Just talk about
anything, problems you are having, something
funny that happened, anything. Then send it
to your girl.
I know this sounds corny, but it works.
Best of luck though.
I hope everything works out

Don't place unrealistic expectations on each other. Keep it open....if you see other people, it can only serve to give you the answer if you are really in love. Do others make you forget about your "friend" or just make you realize that you have a comfort, attraction, and ease that's missing with anyone else? If you truly love someone, distance will not make a difference, if it does not go on for too long. If your feelings are true, it will come to a point where you really can't go on apart from one another. Give it a chance and see.

Long distance relationships are very difficult, and if there are other factors involved, like lack of trust and honesty, or young age, they can be even more difficult. Many fail. The good side is many succeed. Think of all the men who have gone off to fight in wars and their wife held down the home here while they were gone. Or prisoners or war. If you truly love someone, and they you, it will last. If it doesn't, it probably wouldn't have even if you stayed closer in proximity.
You need to discuss your expectations for this relationship with each other. You need to discuss things like whether or not you will see others as friends, or date others? How often will you keep in touch? Which is the easist way for each of you to communicate. How will you make time to see each other when you can?

ReRe, my relationship with the wife began as a LDR three and a half years ago. We walked down the aisle on May 20 of this year. Although difficult and lonely at times LDR's can work out very well if both partners are honest and caring for each other. In addition there should be lots of correspondence either through e-mails, telephone calls, text messages etc. As with any relationship (especially LDR's) there will be temptations and other people will show availability and interest in one or both of you. But these temptations must be put aside and both parties must remain faithful. Certainly there are dangers but in my opinion I am the luckiest person in the world to have had a LDR with my wife and it worked out fantastic. Good luck to you and your man with your LDR.

I was in a long distance relationship with a man for 3 years. It is really hard though. So easy to get close to another man. Or he get close to another woman. It would be awesome companionship but if I were you, I would be very careful. Don't let your guard around your heart down. As well as he doesn't need to. Simply, to be on the safe side. But yes. I think it can last.

Well I wish you nothing but the best of luck and sincerely hope that I am wrong, but I really don't think that it's has that good of a chance especially considering that you are both also in the military thought nothing is written in stone, so if you both really care for one and another and want to do this, I see nothing wrong with giving it a go. Good luck and take care :)

Long distance relationships never work out in the long run

Long distance relationships can and do work but you have to put alot of effort into keeping it going.

they are very tough, but since you are both in the military I think you have a better chance than most -- both know each others circumstances and also have that in common
Remember to keep the communication going in some way!-- Good Luck ---

long distance relationships are tough, but if you really want it to workout make it happen. like most things in life, if it is worth having it generally takes work, dedication, and commitment. my grandparents made it through a year and a half long LDR. if they never made it work i wouldn't even be here.
