I think if you have a long relationship, most of the times it never works out. But if you both really love each other it can work out. (i hope it does in ur case). JUST HAVE TRUST IN EACH OTHER, and it will workout

it all depends on how commited you are to him. long distance relationships aren't easy. talk to him about it. be sure you cover every possible situation. and KNOW exactly how you feel about him. it takes two to make a relationship work.

I happen to agree with cuteiepie. Keep it alive by phone, emails, snail mail...keep all communication channels open. If you have serious intentions for the future with that person, it is most important to physically spend time with each other at least once or twice a year. I think long distance relationships only work for so long. At one point or another you have to make it a "no distance" relationship. Good luck!!

Long distance relationships can be very exciting because there is no routine. Each time you see him it is something special. Just the frequency needs to change. Enjoy it as long it lasts. You will notice when this relationship is ready for the next step. If you don´t see any progress at all you need to decide whether you want him as a platonic friend and whether you want to look for somebody else...

Yes, it can.  It depends on how hard you work at it, and how much they are working at it.  You have to keep your commitments of calling when you promise, being on line when you promise, of coming down when you promise, and vice versa.  Sometimes starting out in long distance relationships actually make them better.  One reason is that you know from the beginning it is going to take work and are ready to take that on.  Second, you learn to communicate verbally with each other on every topic, and that will last through your relationship if it leads to marriage.  Also, it forces you to take things slow, and really get to know the person over time.  Sometimes if we can see the person every day, we fall too fast, and fail to recognize the warning signs that we would see if there were some distance put between us.  I know of a couple that dated from Scotland to Canada for two years, and just got married.  You know what?  They wouldn't have traded the past two years for anything, because now they talk to each other every day about everything, and it has taught them a lot about confiding in each other and trusting in each other.  I hope it works out for you. :)

It all depends... are the schools in the same town, is it elementary school, or high school, or college... but the most important thing is that you trust each other enough to not see each other all the time. I know a lot of people who have had long-distance relationships, and most of them have worked pretty well so far. If you think it will be hard not to worry all the time about him being around other people, then it might not work out. Of course, I might be getting too complicated if you're only in elementary school or something.

In my opinion, I would think that both of you would have to accept the concept of "long-distance relationships" to begin. If one is thinking "long-distance" and the other is thinking "he/she will come visit me" but he/she doesn't, then that will be a problem itself. Secondly, I believe you both have to want the relationship to work out bad enough to where the distance doesn't bother either of you. Again, if one is feeling incomplete because the other is not there, then maybe you two should spend more time getting to know each other. Lastly, communication is key. If you say you're going to visit him/her, DO IT. Don't come up with eXcuses as to why you couldn't make it. That will prove whether or not you want it (him/her/the relationship) bad enough. Sacrifices will have to be made, and if one or neither of you are up to the task, then what is the point in being in a long-distance relationship?\n\nHope that helped!

There is nothing wrong with a long distance relatoinship, the problem is how can you trust them. If there is love, trust, honesty and commitment, then it is tottaly beautiful once you go to visit them. It's because when you are away, they misses you and you missing them. When you get together after a while its all exciting to pick you up from the airport with the flowers patiently waiting for you.

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!

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!

distance relationships are generally bad unless your trust level is extremely high. where and when do you fit the quality time. I am sorry you may want to move on at least until the distance becomes a non-issue.  :(

no...it isn't bad at all....alot of people like to have there space, and still enjoy a dedicated trusting relationship. I have two cousins who have long term girlfriends , and haven't moved in either! With them it is something about having there own, belongings and able to go where ever they want to, with out feeling bad by leaving someone at home.

It does not work unless there is an end in sight.  If you don't have plans of when you can actually be *together*... it will not work.  It will become tiresome.  It's not the nicest thing to say, but it's the truth.  Also, if you're *starting out* long distance... that's even harder.  Trust me.

Long distance relationships are never an easy thing. The only way they work is if the two of you trust each other completely. It also depends on how well you know each other. It's a bad idea to go into a long distance relationship early on. However, once your bond is strong enough, time away from each other makes the heart fonder.\nIt's harsh, but if you can't trust her, then it's not going to work. \nBut when you do, it'll work out. If you truly love her, trust her.\nIt'll be a tough 6 months, but you'll pull through.\nHope it all turns out for the best...\n:)

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!

What's wrong with that? If you are both mature and responsible individuals, then there's no problem for as long as you love each other.\n\nWhen you both work on it, you can have a lasting relationship.\n\nBest of luck
