long distance love affair, will it work?

Honestly I think the internet is a scary place and I would never recommend someone to just go with someone without really knowing them but my situation thankfully turned out ok ..I am American and my love is Italian.After he flew to meet me we talked and talked I flew there and then back again and eventually moved to Italy.We have been together 5 years now.Not perfect but noone is.Men are still men and women are still women no matter where you are from..My advice..If someone really wants to be with you make them work for it.I met my guy first he came to me..Then I went to him...Make sure its safe!!

there are some couples who are started only in chatting.. i have a friend who'se already married with his foreigner husband.. they've been chatting maybe 1yr then after that the guy visited her twice then my friend able to go with him in US, and now they happy and had 1 child.. i think it's really depends on the two people where they really trusted each other and the most important is that to have a good communication.. it's really hard with that kind of relationship but it works to some couple..

long distance love is not something very rare. but at times it is difficult to keep pace. its mainly due to the distance. But it can be kept intact with good contact.

I personally think that it can work out, though I don't think it's for everyone. I don't think that it's easy, but no relationship is easy, in my opinion. However, I think that, in some cases, it can work.

A long distance relation can work but only for a time. Eventually, one of the two people in the relationship is going to have to close the distance otherwise what is the point of carrying it on? It is hard, requires a lot of commitment, time, energy, devotion, and trust but long distance relationships can work. For a while.

Hi all!!! Well i dont really support the idea of online dating though i am in favour of love's existence. Like love in first sight, i dont believe in online dating.. I mean how can u trust someone who is very far away from you and sitting on a desktop or laptop and replying ur mails or messages without much thoughts on them.. Its great if someone really finds a soulmate via net but i guess meetings must follow soon enough if you think he/she is the right one... In today's world only few relationships survive be it friendship, business or love.. So according to me when a person is tryin to find his/her love online, chances should not be taken as their and their spouse's future life depends on it!!

some may work some may not---there are so many pro's and cons with this thing called long distance love affair...I've been into one but it did not work out--but i knew some who made it and are happily living in together--i think on long distance relationship--i learned that, if they want there's a way, if they don't want it then there are so many reasons...I've seen it myself so i think the only thing that it can work is to less demand things and let the love work it out for you rather than stressing things by putting things upon what you and the partner wants...

Hello There. Yes, I know it will work because a friend of mine started with a long distance relationship whom she met online. They have been chatting for a year then decided to be together officially after that. They haven't seen each other since the day they started saying that they are "together" but it is really sweet when they kept their promise. They stay in touch and send messages. After two years, the guy visited here and they dated for few more months before they get married. They are happy living together with their kids now. SO, it is really true but ofcourse, you need to set a timeline as when you would be able to meet personally. Love will not grow stronger without completely seeing the person. That is just for me. I had a relationship before for couple of years but it didn't progress because of some reasons that we can't meet personally that is why we let go. So, it really depends on the persons. Thanks for the discussion! Happy Mylotting and Have a great day! Cheers!

I have an e_pal.We started chatting nearly 7years ago,yet we've never seen each other before. We both have our own life and we hardly chat these days. We're not having an love affair.We are just not meant to each other.On the other hand, I long to see him,but I would make the first move like him. So my opinion on this issue is that long distance love affair can work only if you are determined.

I think longdistance love affair works only after seeing each other. Online chatting, thoughtfulness and caring for each other serve as the foundation of the relationship only. As the constant sharing of feelings. concern, friendship develop the relationship. Meeting personaly, however will break or make the love affair. Should no one change after meeting each other then long distance love affair works. If am quite younger I will consider finding sweetheart online but I won't pour much my feelings as should the affair fails, the pain would not be that much.

For me, long distance relationships won't work simply because I am a very touchy-feely person I like giving hugs and receiving ones too! I require physical presence in a relationship and that it something I cannot get from an ldr.

Hi, Long-distance chatting/relationship are not based on TRUTH.They are mostly Fake.Starting from name,age,religion etc.... how this will stand in the long run?Both the partners conscience know they faked.It is more or less a 'loose-loose game',from the start to end. =Lahiri,Kolkata,India.

Im goin to be honest, it doesnt work. One pson always gives. Sorry,but the chance of it surviving is 1:100.

It will not work out. That comes from experience, man. Your partner will not be faithful.

Well I hate tp be pessimistic, but I've actually already tried the Online dating thing, but with out much luck & the one guy that I did end up dating turned out to be a weird freak Needless to say, that relationship did Not work out~! I think that the real only way that one will actually come to meet their life partner is face to face. Thankyou for posting & I hope you have a great week! :D

Wow this is a tough one. I have been in two and lost both. It really depends on how strong both of you are.

well...i really dont think that an online relationship can succeed unless and until one of the two brings the relation from online to offline ...i mean face to face interaction in the real world. The bottom line is "out of sight = out of mind". Its ultimately the trust that should grow between them while communicating online and should lead them to meet in person and take things forward. But I have seen instances where people do cross all hurdles..they meet up and ultimately get married :)
