do you think long distance relation works?

I believe that it just depends on the relationship itself and what each person involved is willing to sacrifice. Those long distance things don't always last for too long. I was involved with a couple of those kind of relationships when I was a much younger girl. It used to be that I would eventually just find someone that lived closer to me. However if you think that you have hit it off well with someone then things could blossom and lead into something serious. I think that in any kind of relationship communication is very important and if you can keep the communication regularly then things could have a chance.

I have to agree, it's a long shot. I met someone online 4 years ago, and we fell in love, or so we thought. He flew to my home state, and spent a week together. We had so much in common, or so we thought. I sacrificed, sold or gave away most of my furniture and stuff, packed what I could in my car and moved, 1600 miles. Away from my family and friends, and everything I knew. It lasted almost 4 years, until this January, when plans were being made to move to a new house, he was buying. And then he informed me, he wanted to 'move on, alone'. So, once again I sacrificed for him......my dream job is there, do I stay just for a job? I have no family there, and actually no close friends. So, I won't say it can't work, but take to heart any 'red flag's' you might feel. I am now a believer in that you should really get to know someone on a personal level more than just by phone or online. (shut up Charlotte LOL). He and I both felt that 'this is the one', or so we thought.

it depends on the connection and your communication. it should be between you and your partner on how to make your long distance relationship work. for me, i am not into long distance relationship. but some of my friends are having a blast. it really depends on your personality and choices.

it COULD work but it's a long shot. i'm not trying to discourage you, but keep in mind it requires hard work, lots of effort and understanding, there must be less demands,and there's a lot to learn to keep the relationship. now ask yourself -- if you really think this wonderful person is worth all the sacrifice you can give, go for it. just know that there are risks and no guarantees.

Long distance relationship is work of course. But it has a lot of risks. It needs a hard work. Many people didn't make it. You must have strong commitment and trust each other (it is the most difficult part, because you don't have enough time to know all the things did). But you can overcome this by build a good and intensive communication. I used to had a long distance relationship, but i failed. I think the factor is lack of communication. But, good luck for you..
