What wrong with all the girls in your Home town or City, State, Country. Why do you think going out side of your own country is better?\n\nMost people can't make a long distance relationship work, when they live 2hours away, much less a hole state away. Get someone who's close to you, as in 20 mins. or less that you can see everyday.\nIt's called dating.

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:)

A long-distance relationship is a relationship between people who are physically far apart. Typically they are dating or married.\n\nSome reasons for long-distance relationships are:\nThey met through a dating service and live far apart.\nThey met in an Internet community, such as a forum or multiplayer online game.\nThey met while one or both was on vacation.\nThey used to live close together, but one has since moved away (e.g., job, college, military).\n\nTrust between the two parties is a key requirement for a successful long-distance relationship. Either party may be engaging in social activities which, under usual circumstances, could lead to the forming of a relationship. For example, one party may go out with friends or colleagues from work. These colleagues may very well include single persons interested in a relationship. For them it may appear that the long-distance relationship is 'weak' and not substantially important. It requires each partner to learn to trust the other. Of course, the same can be said of regular relationships as well.\n\nLong-distance relationships can be successful when both partners make efforts to visit each other. Discussing possible times to visit, and planning these "vacations" together can assist with strengthening the relationship. Furthermore, it can help build trust.\n\nHowever, it is important to remember that the success of a long-distance relationship can be aversely affected by the length of time the couple is apart. Since an indefinite amount of time apart is a key feature shared by all long-distance relationships, it can be argued that LDRs are considerably more challenging than regular relationships. This makes it all the more important to keep open lines of communication with one another.

Long distance relationship hardly works.

Poorly, and not for very long.\n\nSeriously, you have to have a LOT of communication. Regularly scheduled phone calls, and some random ones too. E-mails, chat and etc. Constant communication. Otherwise, the passion goes cold. \n\nIt's a lot of work to make a long distance relationship work.

Be friends first!! Dont just think you can dive into a relationship and expect it to work. Get to know eachother really well. I met my fiance in a online chat room. We were friends first for a few years, now we're planning on getting married soon. I live in Canada and hes in the USA. We get to see eachother in person every few months, and talk on the phone everynight and use our webcams as much as possible. So this new girl you've met could end up being someone you want to spend your life with. Just take it slow. Nothing just happens overnight. As far as wanting to see eachother. Dont just think either you or her have to move to be with eachother. Long distance relationships do and can work out. All depends on you and the other person. If it does turn out that you want to spend your life with this girl, theres options. You can have her move to the US to be with you, or you move there. Right now, I'm waiting on my fiance visa to move to the USA, so thats an option for you. I dont know how the government in the Phillipines works, but thats something you can look into. Remember, one step at a time. Best of luck to ya!

A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP CAN WORK IF BOTH PEOPLE REALLY WANT  IT TO WORK OUT.BUT YOU NEED\nTO TALK TO HER ABOUT HOW SHE FEEL. BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET\nSO TALK TO HER ABOUT WHAT GOING ON. THEN GO FROM\nTHERE. BUT IT CAN WORK IT SELF OUT.

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!

I can't say for another country, but I have been in a long term relationship that started out with us living in two different provinces for 2 years...:) \n\nIn the end we both moved in together, and have been happy together ever since...:)\n\nI think that love is something you can't control...when it hits you, you just know and whatever the distance, you still love them.\n\n\nAlso, in today's advancements in communication technology, distance is what you make it...Webcams, IM & unlimited long distance plans make the kilometers just seem trivial...Especially since there are people who live in the same house and can go days without seeing each other for more than a few minutes at a time.

No there is nothing wrong with that keep your long distance relation but you always need to complete it with a local physical contact relation... That will work...

of course it can work. it just depends on the commitment and love and trust, just like any in-person relationship. in a way, the long-distance has the benefit of not having to deal with the daily in-person details that sometimes weight relationships down.\n\nmy husband and i maintained a long-distance relationship for more than two years before our situations allowed us to be together.\n\ntalk about it.

Well, if you really trust this person, you can always convince yourself that it will work. However, the sad truth is that even the best of relationships have been ruined by long-distance problems. Don't break off too soon, play it by ear. But if you do so, just remember that you may be hurt. Good luck and be strong! =)

long distance relationship - it seldom works and succeed. but if both of you would give trust for each other, just be honest - then probably would. but distance is not the only reason why relationship failed, a lot of factors why it didnt work out.

i think you should tell that girl that you love her before you go. it's different telling her in person than telling her that you do love her when you're in another country, say using a phone or in an e-mail. if you don't tell her now, you'll regret that the rest of your life so you should just come up to her and see what comes to your mind. trust me, it's better to be spontaneous than plan out what you're going to say (it usually doesn't work out fine when you rehearse the things you want to say). fix yourself up. wear something nice. bring flowers or anything that's going to remind her of you. then just speak. talk to her about how you feel. yeah, you'll have a lot of butterflies in your stomach but you'll feel much better when you've said you love her. although if she loves you back, it's going to be difficult for her, and for you since you're leaving. having a long distance relationship is one of the most difficult things to maintain in this world. good luck!

To make a long distance relationship work there has to be a lot of trust - if you don't see each other all week or sometimes for a few weeks you have to be certain the other is serious about the relationship.  It is also good to have very regular contact.  One good thing about not seeing each other so often is that it keeps the relationship alive and you always have separate interests and therefore loads to talk about when you do see each other.  However, this type of relationship can take a long while to get off the ground - much longer than a normal one and there has to be a lot of feelings to keep it going.
