Two people met on the web.They are about 5,00c0 miles apart. Two different cultures,two different races. They fell in love but one can't help think how long will the magic last? Have you ever been in a long distance relationship? Can they last?

Relationships - No boundaries, no boaders, no nation, no region, no religion, no culture can break a relationship, which is a true love.
Well, I beleave relations stands long, no matter from which region, which religion they belong, which culture they belong. Once a relationship is born in to two people, relationships does't matter's age,religion, region, cultures, all this seen secondary. Only the love between the two persons is consider, if they are really in love, no broders can break their relationship, one day will come under along lasting relationship, we can say this marriage. i think you will agree with me

Thanks for the insight. I do believe that love has no boundaries. It's just a matter of making the relationship work.

Anything is possible in todays life. But i wouldn,t bet on it. If they feel that it is the right choice and the best feelings ever, no amount of miles, difference in countries or race will stop those feelings. We are all human after all and we all have feelings, sometimes not to be ignored. TATA.

This kind of relationship will succeed if both parties are serious in what they are getting into. Although many of them ended in a short period of time because one can't stand to wait any longer. They must have the desire to wait for each other even if they are separated by thousands of miles and oceans, both must make a move to take it to a higher level by planning to visit the other party even for a day. It will give confidence and trust for each other.

most long distance affairs i know didn't last long...take the case of thousands, or should i say millions, of OFW families broken due to separation brought about by poverty or lack of opportunities in the country... i think for it to succeed both parties involved must try their best to constantly communicate with each other.

It really depends on the partners.. If they know how to go with it and believe that this will work. TRust and Honesty should always be present in this kind of situation. Keep the communication open to make the love more stronger...
