Tried it and at some point one of the parties wants/needs/desires pnysical presence from a partner and so inevitably, a break-up occurs. At the risk of sounding cliche, there is a sea of people out there and even though this woman caught your fancy, who's to say someone closer to home couldn't as well. Avoid the heartbreak and find someone closer to yourself.

Long distance relationships can definitely work! Last summer, I met a wonderful woman in Orlando - we were both there on business and happened to be staying in the same hotel. We had dinner a couple of evenings and spent countless hours in the hotel bar during that week talking and getting to know each other. She lives in the Northeast and I live in the deep South. After more than a year of both of us traveling to see each other, we made the decision that I would move to her town and we are in the process of making wedding plans. With patience, cooperation and communication, a long distance relationship can work as good - and maybe better - than a local one.

They don't work. After 7 years of a marriage which was intermittently long distance, we've just grown apart. I know less of him now then I did 2 years, 4 years, 6 years ago. If you want it to work,you need to be together.

I can say that long distance relationship can work. I met my fiance online a year and a half ago and we met a week later. It was love at first sight and after a year and a half of dating, we are engaged and planning our family. It does get hard from time to time and I have felt like throwing in the towel sometimes, but I knew that he was worth working for. Frequent phone calls and IMing is what keeps us sane. My advice is, if you love that person enough to want to make the effort and sacrifice, then everything else will fall into place.

been there done that myself : yes it might start out with magic and fire and all the feelings that yer' looking for !!!!! but you cant hug kiss , express your feeling u have torward that person over a phone dont get me wrong i miss her but long distances dont work....... k.p.w.

ok i am an online chatter who met a man from a chat room an he flew all the way to the east coast to meet me an yes i lied about what i looked like but he still came anyway! i moved back to his home state with him an at first it was rocky but we have since gotten married an things are great so yes it can work if ya really want it too

Are you saying that vegetarianism is an annoying habit or a serious character flaw? Being one I would like to konw how guys view me, with having and annoying habit or do they see me with a serious character flaw? Cute!

Having been in a long distance relationship for two years, yes, you do have to be creative and willing to meet half way. If you are not meant to be together, trust me, you'll find out on the first or second day of your visit. The best advice I got when I started this relationship was to go into the experience without expectations. You can worry about the long term later.

In my experience, people are usually setting themselves up for failure. I guess it's really about knowing yourself in the situation. If you have to sit there and think "I'm going to make this work," it probably won't. If you really believe in your heart that it's the right decision, then go for it. I think the silliest thing is when people who barely know each other try to have a longterm/long distance relationship. Those pretty much are the worst idea of any long distance relationship.
