Do you think long distance relationships do work?

Some are successful, some are not. Long distance relationship is truly challenging both emotionally and financially. Why do you ask? Are you falling in love jack?

Well, I am telling this from my own experience. I am currently in a long distance relationship and it is working really great for me. When you really love someone and you know that he or she is the only one for you, then it doesn't matter that whether it's a long distance relationship or short. Well, there are many ways in order to make you get close to your partner like webcams or headphones with mic. I know that you will always miss the physical touch but does it really matter as long as you that he or she will always be with you. And you really Love Her or Him.

Long distance relationship work depending on the two person agreeing to enter into a relationship... Long distance relationship did not materialized if the two person involved having no consideration to each other... Full understand must be carried out to success in a long distance relationship if that is not practices. I don't think the relationship is pursued...

I do believe in long distance relationship because I myself had been away from my boyfriend for 6 months.It is really hard for both of us because the time differential is 7 hours.With this type of relationship, communication is the very important key for the relationship not to fail.And honesty and trust is also important for if both of you trust each other then you won't have any problem.

" Distance means so little when someone means so much" -Quote So , LDR in my opinion will be not in trouble. if you loving the person with all of your heart no matter how far distance is :O

Starting off a relationship in this way can definitely light the spark between them,so to speak,given that in this way at first there's a meeting of minds,but I do think the couple have at some stage along the line got to meet up to take things further..

All depends on the private individual. When addressing the relationship seriously, it will work. But if just for fun, not going to be a successful relationship.

it is works for become a normal friend relationship. I had experienced before where i can easily meet new friends via hooked at facebook or MSN. But it is hard for me to further my relation to become in a relationship with my friends via online or through telephone because i need to make sure the person identity and characteristic which is suit or match for me for eternal relationship or not. It's hard to determine via writing and voice to judge one's personality.

I believe in this kind of relationship and I think it will work. I am into this kind of relationship right now and so far, we have a strong one. We just met through the internet, through facebook, and after 1 year, we are still here. I am in the Philippines and he is in New Zealand. Hopefully, we will get married after 2 or 3 years.

Oh gosh I suppose many who are in these types of relationships say it works for them. But I personally find it hard to be in one myself. As being in a relationship sometimes you need someone dirctly across you to be able to vent and tear. Whereas a long distant relationship sometimes, I would think you would get the feeling of emptiness as you really can't feel each others emotions. I have a couple of friends who have experienced this and while they say it is working for them, I can sense the double efforts they have to go through with their relationships.

definitely nOt! long distance relationship won't really work..especially when you don't trust each other..you don't see each other yet,and you don't know both what you are doin..

I don't think it can really work.It may last for several months or longer.However,as time elapses,they'll gradually find that the topics they can talk about become fewer and fewer.They'll get in touch with completely different people,then they'll change their minds unintentionally.

In my view, those kind of relationship will never has it's progress. It's just fine if the relationship is "friends" but if it's a romantic relationship,it doesn't have a greater chance to work. It seems that people involve in this kind of relationships are full of fantasy about love. Though, I just really can't explain how some of the couples who came from this kind of relationship ended up on marriage. No offense but this is common in Philippines.

I think it depends on ther people involved. Some people work it out and others can't. I tried to but one of the people that couldn't do it. I left my husband of 12 years to live in a city where I could work. He was supposed to follow me within a year so we decided to fly back and forth as much as possible to see each other till then. In that year we managed to see each other about 6 times for a few days each time but it wasn't the same as living together and seeing each other every day and night. I hated it and wanted to move back because he was taking his sweet time about moving to be with me. After trying to have a long distance relationship for just over a year, about 18 months, I gave him an ultimatum to either move here or we break up. We broke up... My sister met a guy when she went to Cuba for a month and they dated while she was there. He lived in Toronto and she lived in Winnipeg but they managed to have a long distance relationship that lasted 5 years. He was a man with a lot of money so he paid for her to fly back and forth or he flew to see her but they saw each other every second weekend. The last year of it though, he wouldn't have her come see him, he always flew to see her, so on his birthday she surprised him by flying to see him and she walked in on him with another woman. Turns out my sister was the other woman now as this woman and he had been living together for the last year that he was also seeing my sister. So in the end it didn't work for her either. I think it is pretty hard to have a real relationship with someone that you don't see every day. Even talking on the phone or by email is hard as it just isn't the same thing as being together. Cheers and happy mylotting my friend, Chris

hi jackroy as a purely friendship basis not as boy friend, girlfriend thing I guess that could work but for the boyfriend, girlfriend thing evenually they have to meet and nine times out of ten they really do not 'work, they see each other and they know the other person is not for them; but a few here on mylot have worked and they met, liked each other, fell in love and got married. But I do not think many of them work romantikcally as you need to see and know each other face to face.

Yes I think that long distance relationship is always worked very well when there are trusted from both sides in relationship. Because I think trust is a very big thing which makes any relationship strong. So always try to make trusts in your long distance relationship.

i don't know about it jack as i don't have any experience on that. if they know each other through online, this may be hard for them to get to know the true color of their partner. if they already know each other but need to get separate for a reason then i think this kind of relationship might work with them. personally i don't like it unless i really know him very much.

I believe it works. BUT both the people in the relationship have to put an effort and make their own sacrifices..because otherwise it wouldnt work..especially if its only one person thats trying to make it work. If thats the case it would become frustrating and eventually that love or connection with one another will disappear.

Yes i do believe that long distance relationship works but not all the time. Being on this kind of relationship constant communication is a must. Make him or her feel that you are always with him/her. Long distance relationship is really very hard because of the distance that separates between you and your partner.
