My husband and I dated long distance for 3 years before we were married, (3 hours). It cemented our relationship and, in hindsight, gave us a chance to talk about things that we normally wouldn't have... and know each other more fully. he is my best friend and soul mate! This is a decade later!
We wrote romantic letters to each other, talked on the phone (without the unlimited free long distance packages) for 2-4 hours a night at times, and would have killed for a web cam or Skype. (check those out)
Find out how she feels about you and be subtle, but candid with her. Healthy long distance relationships focus on friendship as much as the love. It is harder to have self control when you are together. Distance does make the heart grow fonder. Be forewarned! :o)
Good Luck to you both. She sounds lucky to have you as well (as a friend or more...)!

I dated a girl for a year and a half that was four STATES away, let alone hours. I eventually moved there to be with her. It can definitely work; especially in the internet age. E-Mail, free cell phone minutes, web cams, make it easy.
And a three or four hour drive is nothing. Buy a cheap, used motorcycle, save money on gas, and you can both go for a ride when you arrive.
If you are really into each other, it's not tough. It makes for good conversation between you two and memorable love letters.

Well if you are head over hills with her and every time you talk to her you are overwhelmed with feelings that you have never felt before then if you are determined enough to be with her then it will work. just pray everyday that things will work out and i am certain that it will work out but you have to make sure that you really do like this girl and she feels the same way back if you don't and you give up then it wont work. follow your heart and let it take you in the direction in which you will meet that special someone and maybe she is your special someone. so go for it man.

3 hours is not long distance. My girlfriend lives 2 and 1/2 hours away from me. I do not care whee she lives, I would do anything to be near her.
You can easily get to her house on weekends. There is no problem spending time together every week. Go for it!
After a while if you two really hit it off, you can move to be nearer to her or she can move to be nearer to you.

We live in such a fast gratifying world. I think it can work but it's gonna take work from both parties. You can write each other talk on the phone and Pc and even see each other on the pc now too. Both of you I assume are able to drive and have your weekends free so spend time driving to see her or pay someone to take you. Love can work long distance as long as you both are commited. GOOD LUCK...bluebunny

It usually doesn't work but three hours is not long at all maaan i mean i have driven for seven hours , took trains with three hour lay overs, flew from NYC to LAX just for giggles so if you like this girl than you should definitely go, just give it a try before making a decision.

If you really feel something with her and nothing is tying you down then move closer. Change is good and could bring in new fun things for both of you.
If that is not an option try the relationship with the distance with lots of communication. Good luck.

Yes but it takes alot of commitment and hard work to make things work. If you guys cant' physically be together, the communication is key. Trust is a big thing, gotta have alot of it and not have trust issues. Go for it!
Goodl luck tho.

i think it is possible, as long as both of you want the same thing. it may be a little trying at times because you can't be together physically, but verbal communication means alot as well.
