Well funnily enough I live in England, and my girlfriend lives in Florida.\n\nIt requires a huge amount of trust and you need to be sure its worth the heartache.\n\nWe are both working till the finances allow us to sort things out.\n\nIts not easy, but it can be done

I've done the long distance thing..  You two are doing everything right in my book anyways.. lol.  My advise is to stay busy with friends.  That way the time will go by faster.

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!

It's really difficult to make a long distance relationahip work. It takes a lot of time, effort, sacrifice and money. My friend was living in London, had a boy-friend in Canada and parents in SE Asia. She was constantly having to answer and make phone calls to all aspects of the globe at really odd times. She also had to deal with life in uni. It was really hard for her get much of anything done besides talk on the phone or send emails. Eventually though she decided to stick with the boyfriend and got transferred to an uni in Canada to be with him. She loved him too much to give him up. That's eventually what all long-term relationships come down to. If you really truely want to be together then you'll find some way to amke it work. If you are not that committed it's best to break it off before one of you inadvertantly does something to hurt the other.

from 3000 miles away sounds like a long shot.  on the other hand relationships that are formed when we are young have less of life's baggage attached and are not so judgmental.  \n\ncontinue to talk an stuff and let it happen naturally\n\ni hope it works for you

You think a 3 hour drive is a long distance relationship? Try being 10,000+ miles apart... My finacee' is in Hanoi, Vietnam while I'm here in California. \n\nIt is VERY tough to have a long distance relationship. It requires tremendous amount of commitment to each other. You are your girl will be tested every day on how strong your bond is. \n\nThere's an old saying that basically says to let her go and see if she comes back to you. That should be the first thing you do to see if your long distance relationship will work. \n\nGood luck to you!

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.

It depends on how serious it is.\n\nBecause if both people aren't seriously committed, then long-distance relationships often don't work out.\nIn which case, it's best to let them go.\n\nBut if you guys are serious about each other, then do what you can to make it work.

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.

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.

Yes. I think the anticipation and mystery and trust that will be built will be very beneficial to the relationship.  So you think the distance thing is just temporary?  That would be real nice.

Yes! Long distance relationships CAN work out! It is A LOT of hard work. I don't know what country you are from and what the customs are there, so I don't know how relevant or plausible my advice will be.\n\nAlways tell her your true feelings. Let her know your worries. Don't forget to tell her how much she means to you, OFTEN!\n\nAlways treat each other with honesty, trust, understanding, respect, and be willing to compromise and to communicate thoughts and feelings openly. This is the basic foundation of a relationship that both people need to work on to make it work, especially for a long distance relationship.\n\nIf you've both been waiting for each other six years, I don't think there's much to worry about. Once you have earned the money, go back and see her. Tell her and show her how much she means to you. Talk about both of your futures.\n\nFight for your relationship, but also be realistic. Sometimes no matter how much both of you care about each other, there are other things that get in the way, such as time and physical distance. Long distance relationships can work, depending on how willing both people are to put hard work into the relationship.

I live about an hour away from my boyfriend; it has its challenges, yeah, but it works out pretty good. I think as long as you continue to communicate throughout the week you should do great - spending weekends together is awesome.\nWe've been seeing each other for almost 2 years now. \nGood luck!!

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.
