No long distance isn't easy, but it doesn't mean it won't work out for that reason. If he says he will visit every month then give him that chance. Let him get settled in first. My sister's bf lives in NY and we live in Mo. They have been together for a year.

First off the best way is for you too come up with something real romantic that will make this person remember it the rest of their life and only you can really come up with that. I can only suggest. Find out this person's favorite love song or you could use yours then wait for mid-nite on the 14th and take this person to a romantic spot make sure you have a little picnic and the song you choose and propose.

My cousin had a long time relationship with this girl, he's from Canada and she's from the States. They meet over the Internet and now their married and still in love. I had a long distance relationship and it wasn't that hard to deal with as long as you don't go crazy with a "what if" in the back of your mind and trust your heart that every word spoken is true. Now we live together and I still love him even more then before, and am excited for the years to come. I say if it feels good, and you both can handle the distance between the two of you, give it a try and see as the days go by.

One. You can ask in the very first email, if you are charming enough and clever about it. Better yet, get her to ask to meet you.\n\nBe sure that you two are able to physically meet each other fairly easily - in other words, not living so far apart that it becomes a hassle to meet. While long-distance relationships can and do work, for many people they are just too much trouble and nearly impossible to pull off well. So, be sure that both of you are comfortable.\n\nJust ask, and be confident. There is no "prescribed length of writing" in these sorts of relationships.

Omg...there is so much to say about long distance relationships...I just got out of a long distance relationship about a month and a half ago, there are many many many things you should consider before pursuing a long distance relationship....we only lived about an hour and fifteen minutes away from eachother, but there will were soo many times when I Was having a bad day and just hearing his voice WAS NOT enough!!..you are going to want and need her by yourside at times when she can't be!...there will also be a lot of long, cold and lonely nights that you have no choice but to spend by yourself.I am not knocking long distance relationships, but you should really make sure you are ready for such a big step! you will have to be a strong willed person in order to make it work,because it is not easy! there will be times when you will see other couples together hand in hand, and wish it was you and her, or maybe a happy couple on T.V, but no matter what it is you will feel the pain of not being able to be with her as often as you would like especially when couples are all around you!.. but it isnt all bad though, sometimes it is very exciting! it also depends on how often you will be able to see eachother. we used to see eachother at LEAST every other weekend if not more, but it was still super hard and lonely when we werent together! my advice to you is that if deep down in your heart you really think that you guys can make it work, then go for it, and the wisest thing i can tell you is DO NOT LET OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS INFLUENCE YOUR DECISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so many people will have something to say about it, and will tell you it wont work and try to discourage you, DONT get discouraged...One of things that  kept me and him together for so long is that we didnt care what the hell other people thought about what we were doing, and in this type of situation you need to do the same thing, or else its not going to work, because people can be VERY convincing sometimes, and you just might end up missing out on one of the best things in your life!

I went out with someone who lived in Spain when I was living in Ireland, I am now married to him and we are about to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, so yes, long distance relationships can definitly work, you just have to be prepared to work at them!!

what is a long-distance relationship?\n\nThe first thing to understand is that a relationship across great distances does not necessarily qualify as a relationship. Let me explain.\nIf a guy has been dating a girl for two years and she decides to travel across Europe with nothing but a backpack and pocket change, where does this leave the duo? Well, the first thing to do in this situation is to establish some ground rules before she hops on that plane.\n\nThe couple must agree on how they will deal with this separation, and even if they will remain a couple at all. If one decides that they cannot be in a long distance relationship, while the other is ready to sacrifice a little for the sake of staying together, then they have a problem on their hands..\n\nThere are three basic options when dealing with long distance relationships: the couple can remain faithful to each other; they can date other people and see what happens; or they can call it quits and start dating other people right away.\n\n\nremaining faithfully yours\n\nOne option is to keep everything the way it is -- whether you are 5 miles or 5,000 miles away from each other. This way of thinking is very popular among young lovebirds, new to the journey of romance.\nThey tend to believe that physical space between them will not affect the solidity of the relationship because their "undying" love for each other can surpass this seemingly small obstacle. This often applies to couples that get separated for education reasons.\n\nWhat happens in many cases, however, is that one of the partners may start feeling lonely and begin looking around to see what the "relationship market" has to offer.\n\nBut if the woman, for example, decides to hold back and not date anybody during her time away from her boyfriend, he should also be saving himself for her. Right? In an ideal situation, this would be the plan. But unfortunately, that's not always possible.\n\nThe guy in question might start fooling around, but will eventually feel guilty about it, even if six months have passed since he last saw his girlfriend. \n\nThe problem is that the terms of the relationship clearly state that this should not happen. What then?\n\nSimply having made a decision to allow each other the freedom to date other people while they were apart, and seeing if they still felt the same way about each other once they were reunited, could have prevented this situation. Hence, the second category for a long-distance relationship.\n\n\nlet fate take its course\n\nThis same principle applies to any couple in the initial stage of dating: they are together but they're not committed.\nBoth follow the unwritten rule of allowing each other to date other people until they feel the need to be exclusive\nThis is a perfectly rational way of looking at potential long distance relationships. What if, for example, unavoidable circumstances force the woman to leave and desert her mate in the early stages of the relationship.\n\nAlthough some couples develop faster than others, common sense should always be of the essence, as emotions sometimes tend to run away with us.\n\nThe underlying idea here is that impossible promises should not be made and only a reciprocal, genuine affection for each other will decide the couple's fate.\n\nIf staying together is not in your cards, it soon becomes obvious, and ending the relationship is the only solution. This way, there won't be any broken hearts or unnecessary lies.\n\n\nsee other women\n\nIt's a smart thing to slow down a love connection at an early stage in order to avoid any heartache, especially if you know you will be separated shortly. \nThe ideal solution would be to not get involved with anybody knowing that you will be required to be separated for a long period of time.\n\nBut if you decide to go ahead and start dating this woman, then do it wisely and know that your days together are numbered.\n\nThe smart thing to do in this case

If you have a camera, you could make him a tape - got to all the places that have good associations for the two of you (first date, first intimate connection, etc etc), and at each place film a single "reason why I love you", linked to the place, but speaking honestly about your feelings. If you're very brave, you can even touch on some of the difficulties you've been having, and express your hope that the love the two of you share will help you get through this time, and future difficulties, together. It's a good idea to think the tape through first, so you have an idea of how it's going to fit together.\n\nIf you don't have the camera or can't get hold of one, you can still do the "reasons why I love you" thing - write them down, one by one, on good quality paper and tie them with some ribbon. Then when time allows, hide them around his life - if you can put them in different places - his place, your place, maybe work (depending on whether he'd be laughed at for romantic things at work), in his car etc...\nJust so that wherever he is, he can discover a little of why you love him, and feel you with him throughout his day and night. For added effect of course, you can add a drop or two of your perfume to the paper.\n\nAfter a little while of this, when he comes home (or to your place), have a hot bath poured for him, lots of tealights (though not anywhere in his path to the bath(!)) for a romantic atmosphere. Have an alcoholic beverage ready for the two of you. Maybe even bathe him if you're both comfortable with that. Foot massage to finish off, while telling him how you feel about him. Then take him to bed - either the romantic mood will ignite into passion, or, perhaps even better, you can pull him close and hold him to you for the warm, romantic connection of it, untill he drops off to sleep.\n\nJust some ideas. Hope things go well for you.

This may sound a little cheesy but how about a book about how much you love him or what you love about him?\nYou could write something like this:\n\nI love the way your soft lips feel on mine\nI love how you say the right things at the right moment.\n\nJust a little idea to start off with. Be creative!\nHope you guys stay together forever. Good luck!

Long distance relationship are a real challenge.\nTrust is a must. It sounds both are trying to test each other by means of jealousy?

I myself have a long distance relationship. I'm in Canada and hes in Georgia, USA. People say these tpyes of relationships can't work out because of such the long distance, but I tell you they're wrong. We talk every night  on the phone and use our webcams to see eachother as much as possible. We get to see eachother in person every other month or so for up to 3 weeks at a time. Just being able to talk to him and see him on cam helps so much when we cant be together in person. I don't know what else to tell you as far as to make it easier. I know how hard it can be, but really, thats all the advice I can give you. Hope it helps!

Long distance relationships can work as long as two people are dedicated to each other and want it to work. The two of you are the only ones that will be able to tell if its working. If both of you are completely happy with each other and the way things are going then things are going well I would presume. :) If you truly love each other go for it cause it's more than likely going to work. :) Good luck!

Make a DVD with pics of you two together....burn some great music in the background, y'know, songs that have a special meaning to the both of you.\nIf you don't have enough pics of the two of you together, you could use pics from her childhood AND your childhood. Work from thos up to the present on the DVD.\nI think this would be tremendously sweet and should score you big points in the romance department!
