They can but at some time they need to become REAL relationships. One or the other must be wiling to move to the other's place to carry out the relationship further.

My boyfriend and I lived 3,000 miles away from each other for a year and a half of our relationship. (He was in California and I'm in Florida.) We never cheated on each other and we saw each other about every 4 months. He would come here or I would go there. It was very difficult, but we made it work. Then last year in August he moved here.
So to answer your question, yes, I think long distance relationships can work if you work at them. All relationships need work and care, some just need more, and I think a long-distance one is one of those that need more.
Edited: I just read all these people that keep saying they won't work because of this or that... and they're right, it is extremely hard... but if you get two people that really truly love each other and are commited to making it work and being faithful to each other, then it will work no matter how long you go and how far apart you are.

I met a guy online and I have fallen in love with him. He has been home twice and our time together was wonderful. I want something more, but he says that he is not interested in a long distance relationship. To me, our relationship works great; but when I sit back and look at it, it is only going great because I have spoiled him. I am there for him 24/7. Now, I am in a situation that I want to wait on him, but I know for a fact he is not interested in a relationship.
I said all this to say........... It can work, but it is a lot of work that in the end may not workout in your favor. You may put all the effort in to make the relationship something special, but he may not see it that way. He may use it to himself get ahead or feel better. My situation has been going on for almost a year. In my mind, I feel like he is the one; but in reality, he is not here. That coming home twice a year is not going to cut it. I am single and there are men here. Don't be no fool. Let him work at being with you if that is what he wants.

Yes, I believe in Long Distance Relationships. Can it last? If you continue on to the "next level".
My wife and I have been married for more than 25 years; we started out, not by dating, but by writing letters. She was working in Hong Kong when I "met her" by letter. It was very common in the 1800's and 1900's and is still practised worldwide.
After all, you can get to know a person quite well, without being distracted by being with the opposite sex.

I don't believe in long distance relationships. I don't think it can last. Both people of the couple can be in constant worrying of the other. Also you never know when you can see them. Its just all to difficult to work through.

mine was successful we are living together now. We were ldr for 4 years and living together this last year total of 5 years together.. Get a cell phone with alot of minutes I called her a lot in each day it was the only way to stay satisfied through the distance.. Only the weak minded can not last through it. I was living in Michigan and my girl in California for about a year from the time we met. I talked to her for a full year before even meeting her then I flew out to meet her first time in August then I flew her out my way in September then we didn't see each other till january then again I went there in April then that summer she came out to see me in July then I think I went there in August again then that december I moved to Vegas to be a little closer to her. I was three hours driving from her. We did that for about 3 years then we moved in together last October here in Austin Texas. I went through alot of emotions tho had a lot of hard times and didn't see her for a few months sometimes and she finally came to see me when it got too long. I had a hard time when I couldn't call her but it all works out in the end. I hope it works for you

Personally, I have not had much luck with long distance relationships.

Yes it can work if you BOTH want it to. I had a LDR with my current wife. We both feel it was one of the best 'tests' in our relationship because it tested our trust for each other. Also it allows you to get to know each other on a more mental level having only telephone/internet conversations. Also, when we did get to see each other we appreciated each other more and really cherished the time we had together and made every minute count. Now, I don't recommend being in a LDR forever but it can certainly work if you want it to.

True love conquers all. If you're in a long distance relationship without someone you truely love, then it'll work out.

No sorry but I dont believe in long distance relationships because even if you promise you will always love eachother...that love kind of fades away.I usually never works out.
