Do Long-Distance Relationships Last?

Nowadays its a little bit easier than time ago... you can use Skype to keep in touch frequently almost for free and visual contact help a lot but... of course it depends on how long they are gonna be apart from each other.. it cant last forever because in that case there is no reason to have a reltionship

No and I based my answer to my own experience. I, once read that if you love someone who is a thousand miles away from you, let go of the feeling. Don't let yourself wait for someone that much. If he/she does love you too, he/she won't make you wait for long and won't be far away from you.

For me, I don't think I can do long-distance relationships. It will be very hard for me to not see my boyfriend for months or even years. I crave the company of my boyfriend even if it is just twice a week. What more if we are in different timezones? It will be too hard for me. I don't want to have an absentee boyfriend at all. So for me, absence does not make the heart grow fonder.

Long distance relationships can be lasting ones. it may take a little extra effort to nurture these relationships. The measure of distance should not affect the heart. We feel an emptiness without our special someone. We can't see and talk with someone long distance every day. There are many things to put a strain on any relaationship. Distance does not have to be a relationship casuality unless we allow it to happen.

Love is a pure and true feeling which gives courage to fight and grow even at distance

long distance relationships can work if you really care for that person and show it. if is just one showing it sure it wont work. you are right that near is better but still long distance can work if both care much for each other and tell to the other how much he means ^^ if we show care the person wont need to look for other person^^ will just wait till be with us near^^

I have a very long distance with my bf for 5 months now and i would admit that it is really hard to keep the relationship strong. I'm not giving up though, im still hoping that we can pass this challenge in our relationship. 5 months is already killing me and is making our relationship even more harder than it seems. What we do is we have our communications open. We try to communicate everyday, at least if not everyday, we try to talk for hours on the phone or with skype at least 4-5 times a week.

There are so many advantages of long distance love as well as few disadvantages also. Advantages: 1. it is true love, having chance of lesser attraction. 2. it is a very good time pass for both side. 3. We can share some secret which he / she knows does not have any problem i.e. we can be frank. Disadvantage: 1. there is no physical relationship so, many does not like it. 2. most of case, it is really difficult to know original gender of the opposite side. etc etc.

Its up to the couple on how to make the relationship even more sweeter even if they are not in the same place. Sometimes its just difficult to be passionate when you are far from each other. I find it difficult to show and expressions my great love to him if we are not together. Sometimes I have trouble in expressing my love in words. So I do it by actions but I have difficulty doing it in actions if he is not around,. No wonder my long distance relationship ended.

Hi Ricciota, I dont think long distance relationship can last well also depends how long you intend to stay away from your gf/bf? if its a year may be it might , from my experience i had to be away from the one i loved for 3 weeks and it was hard since we were very close and was counting days , so for me it will never work..

It's hard not seeing each other, over long distance relationships. Your love for each other must be very strong to last.
