I have a girlfriend and we do not know each other.She was introduced by my father over the phone. Then, we exchange number and frequently communicate. I said that I was serious and conversely she also expressed the same things. Between us, there was no differences of opinion and no problem. I just wanted to ask if there is a successful relationship from a distance and plus we never met.

Yes there is in long distance relationships there are so many things that the both can do to make it last. Even though ya'll aren't able to see each other everyday its ok. There are social networks you can go on Webcam, Skype etc.

There's a big amount of fantasy when 2 people are in good harmony while they haven't met in person yet. I've been there and done that so trust me - you need to meet each other in person to see for yourself if you both will turn each other's world upside down. It's like seeing if a movie is better than the book it was based upon. Best of luck to you.

personally I don't believe in long distance relationship and excuse me if I tell you but what you have I wouldn;t call it a relationship. some person could act differently on the phone or on the internet than in real life..so you might think that you get along perfect...on the phone...but live who knows. plus let's say you have a health problem and you need your partner to be there for you...what are you going to do? call him so that you could talk? send him a bunch of smileys to express how you feel...this seems pretty impersonal to me...wouldn't it feel different if he was there for you to hug you and make you feel different?

Succes is what you make out of it. It doesn't matter how many long distance relationships are succesful. What is counting is if you both are willing to work on that. Internet is a good way to know a lot about each other as long as both are honest. Only in the end you can say of your relations ship was succesful. You better ask yourself first what you want or expect from this relationship. Just chatting/emailing is easy if you don't need to see someone, don't need to impress someone, if the other one can't see you still wear your pyama's, you did not shower for 1 week, are not shaved or brush your teeth. Waking up with someone, spending whole days, see how to manage with the money and go to sleep together is a complete different story. If you think this is similair go for it. Personally I would found it weird that someone has the same opinion as me about everything. I think that would annoy me sooner or later.

I expect a lot in this relationship. I am the type of person who do not like jokes especially on this relationship. I appreciate the purity of love. I agree with you that the key was on our hands. Thanks for your comment
