He tells me he loves me, and I tell him the same. But we live so far away. I don't know if I should keep going with this; I don't know if it's right. I love him so much. But do long-distance relationships really work out? I know they can if we love each other enough. But I'm just scared, and I don't want to get hurt again. And his friendship means so much to me that I couldn't bear to lose it if our relationship didn't work out. What should I do?

If you really love each other, you will both work hard to keep the relationship going. If it is meant to be it will unfold and you don't need to stress about it. Share your feelings with him and ask him how he feels. Definitely let him know how much you cherish your relationship and how much it means to you.

The fact of the matter is that long distance relationships rarely work over time. It'll seem good from the get-go, until it starts to sink in on how much trouble it is. It also depends on "long distance". Different states could be a major problem.
My best advice is to try and shoot for one of you to live closer or possibly live together. Granted, age and everything goes into this too.

Forget about what we think, and whether long-distance relationships "work out" or not. Some do, some don't.
What do YOU want from this relationship? And are you getting it?
Why do you say you don't know if it's right - what's not right? Are you spending a lot of time pining away and missing him? That doesn't sound like much fun.
Is it that you don't know if you'll be together some day?

Im about to be going through the same thing because my bf is moving out of state too. I know that I might not be a great help because I'm not there yet but from what I do know I will say this. If you still care about him, you still see each other every now and then, and other then worried about getting hurt you don't feel any diffrent about how you felt about him before then you should go for it and see what happens.

Well, think of it this way...if it doesn't work out, make sure things end on a good note. Some of my very best friends have been ex's. I wouldn't worry too much, many times long distance relationships work, I had one myself. Just talk a lot and hope that things will work out in your favor in the future. Plus, another bonus is that distance in most cases, make the heart grow fonder. Try to find ways to see eachother, you both should be willing to make sacrifices to see eachother.

follow your gut and your heart baby! personally i think long distance relationships are a waste of time. what do you get out of it that you cant get from someone who lives in the same city? you just get a conversation thats all. if you are not feeling it you just need to let it go, let him know you think you are better off as friends. dont waste your time being unhappy. being long distance you two both could be having someone else on the side and not even know about what the other person is doing thats why i dont like them, because he could be playing a game. how can you love someone you just talk to on the phone? sounds silly to me. its all a fantasy. we all want what we cant have. follow your heart...

Long distance relationships can work if there is a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. And by that I mean as long as the distance is temporary.

Being in a committed relationship should bring you happiness. It doesn't matter how much you love somebody, if you are sad more than you are happy, then it just wasn't meant to be. A good rule of thumb is that if you have to question whether it is right, then it isn't right. When it is right.............you just know.

If youre a young person I woud suggest having alot of freinds around you instead of worrying about some one far away
