Do you think long distance relationships work?

I believe that online relationships can work, as long as the two people in the relationship are totally honest with one another. There's the chance that it might not work, that you two might not be compatible or anything when you're together. On the other hand, things might work out great for you both. I wish you both the best of luck, and God bless you.

I must say i have found the man of my dreams online, he is overseas but we work it out, regular calls and visits now and again makes it worth it. so i say go for it

for me definately no, when meeting with a person offline you cannot properly judge his/her character, how are you going to do it online.......

I think long distance relationships work best when both of the people involved are truly honest with each other. I had one a couple years back and even then, I fell for this very sweet and smart girl who ended up living much too far away from me (and eventually left the country :( ) but she was the nicest girl I ever met to this day. We dated for a while and it was wonderful until she left and we never spoke again (I miss her but what can I do?)

I absolutely think they can work, but both have to be equally envolved. By boyfriend actually lives in another country, and while I will move closer to him in a couple of weeks we will still ive about 4 hours apart from each other. We've been together for three years now, and living in different countries for pretty much one year. In the beginning it was VERY hard for me, because before we used to see each other every single day. Now we get to see each other once a month, which I really had to get used to. He on the other hand was very reasonable from the very beginning, saying that this is something we have to go through and can make it work easily. He was right - it really isn't that bad once you get used to it. There a a gazillion of things you can do to feel close even if you're apart: writing frequent emails (a couple of times a day), send text messages, chat, use skype (my personal preference), and of course talk on the phone a lot. We talk every night before we go to bed, and maybe a couple of times during the day, but we mostly use skype to keep each other updated. I usually know where he is and what he's doing, and vice versa. This has nothing to do with control, but just with letting the other know what's going on. And of course you have to learn how to express your feelings over the phone or email. Not too easy, but definitely possible. A webcam is always a plus;-)! So altogether, I think it is possible is you have the right partner - you have to trust each other and you have to have a similar need for affection, pretty much just like in a "regular" relationship.

long distance relationships are as bad as blind faiths which cud neva work and itz not possible 2 fall in luv wid a fictitious person n whuz gona meet da person whn ders no love

For me, i don't think long distance relationship will work...but that's for me...cause if i do have a boyfriend, i expect him to shower lots of attention and love on me...but that's something very hard to achieved when the other party is far away in another country...it's might be that they just don't have the time or there are other more important stuff for them to handle. But in ur case...you both have made agreements to visit each other...tat's really very sweet and romantic...If you think he's e 1 for you..den don't hesitate anymore...fate have create this chance for you...do not let this chance slip through your fingers... Have a nice day...n hope this relationship works out for the both of you..

If two people truly Love each other, then sure it can work--but it's really hard. More times than not, long distance relationships flop.

Your discussion has the answer in it. You have fallen in love with someone...whom you contacted on-line. It is difficult to ascertain...whether this kind of relationship will work in the long run...it will lot depend upon your level of understanding with him and vice versa. Please weigh all pros and cons and all the negative and positive aspects of the relationship, before plunging yourself into it and making a life long committment.

I hope you can find true love in real life, someone you can see most of the week. Being in love always means seeing and touching him, sharing your secret in his arms and taking care of him and being taken care of by him, at least to me.

For me relationship depends on us..no matter how distant you are from each other aslong as you truly love the person the relationship will work. Love always comes with responsibility, commitment and trust. So if you really love the person distance wont matter anymore. There are so many ways to get in touch....

They dont work at all, no matter how close you are. Unless you spend every single minute on the phone together, there is no way you are going to know what or who they are doing. It will eventually get in your head, and you will not be able to stop thinking about what/who they are doing. Infedilty is much easier when you are in a long distance relationship. I wouldnt reccommend them at all, and im saying this from personal experience.

um.....years ago I did this before I ended up married to my high school sweetheart. It was hard....but I guess the memories were worth it. If your sure about this person is not a psycho killer and you play it safe at first then I don't see why it wont work

I wish you all the best and your happiness. I think that long distance relationships can work as long as the person doesn't lie trying to make himself better than he is. What happen to online relationships is you create a character that you might be the same in real life. Some people tell tales. Hopefully you got someone who is real in his motives. Good luck to you girl.

The thought of those types of relationships frighten me. When you communicate with someone online, you can't see their facial expressions when they tell you something. What I'm saying is, you can sometimes tell if a person is lying to you by watching his face. If you can't see him, how do you know he isn't laughing about everything he tells you? These are just my thoughts, though. I myself wouldn't like to get involved with someone so far away.

yes i belive in long relationship but without knowing fallin in love it is not good

Yes they do I met some on line and we now live with each other of course the desion of who can relocate easier and find employment easier has to be made. But yes they do work as long as the two of you work on.

Definitely not. I'm a cynic when it comes to it. I'm sorry, but whilst it may be romantic in theory (if you guys end up together), ultimately, both people can and will be attracted to other people in their lives. If they're not, there's always the possibility of jealousness and envy, when that one phone call goes unanswered. But in saying that, i hope it does turn out well for you and none of my rationales comes true. BTW - just be careful, it's surprising how much physical attraction plays in a relationship - if you're in love with his personality, he might just look (and feel) like everything you've come to dislike.

in response to your add, yes long distance relationships work depending on how devoted the two of you are.if you are the only person in the relationship going to see him all the time then after a while you will get tired of being the only one putting forth the effort.see how everything goes but stay on your ps and qs.you dont know if he is involved or not with someone in his town.
