Personally, I don't think it would work in the long-run. I think it would only work if the distance isn't for long term.
I mean, if ever you are in a long-distance relationship, you really need to see each other once in a while.
I am now into a long distance relationship, but I have met and been with my partner for quite a number of times already. Plus, he had also met my family and friends.
The trouble with long-distance relationships that I've seen as a great factor as to why it doesn't work is because people tend to build their relationship online all the time. I believe, a couple must first meet, then decide if they want to push through or not. Not the other way around (have the relationship before meeting).

Hi, thank you so much for making my response the best response. I didn't expect it.
It's truly appreciated.

Anyway, here's a funny joke, well I hope no one gets offended though:
A young woman brings home her fiance to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about the young man. The father invites the fiancee to his study for a drink.
"So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man. "I am a Torah scholar." he replies.
"A Torah scholar. Hmmm," the father says. "admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she's accustomed to?"
"I will study," the young man replies, "and God will provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father. "I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies, "God will provide for us."
"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"
"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies
"How will you support children?"
"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiance.
The conversation proceeds like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insists that God will provide.
Later, the mother asks, "How did it go, Honey?" The father answers, "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

I think long distance relationship could last for several time. And the time really2 relatives, if you ask me. It really-really depend on the couple. But actually, long distance relationship can last forever. Cause communicatin, straight communicatin. face to face communication is very important in such a serious relationship. Not just a "communication" that we give a defibnition on "phone, sms or cahtting communication". Cause with togetherness everything will be more simple to handle.

I am sorry you're having these feelings and thoughts. It sounds like a really hard situation, with your age and distance and all that. The best thing is to talk to him about it. Communication is key!!! It's true that things would be easier if there was someone closer, but is the guy you're worth it...I mean really worth it!??!! If he is.....then I think you're doing the right thing!!!

Based on what i have experience, this won't last as in long...maybe 6 months is the maximum. Well, i still believe that it depends on both of you, if you really love each other distance won't matter at all. As long as you have communication maybre your relationship will last longer.
