I think it's fine. Sure, there are risks, but it is possible. One of my friends fell in love w/ a guy she never met but fell in love with him anyways. Then, of course, they actually met and have plans to move in with each other very soon. It just depends

Well first of all I would almost bet that you will get some smart comment from someone cause of the fact that you met online, but I can relate to you in that way.  I met my current boyfriend online as well.  I live in NY for the time being because of acting and he's from MN, where I'm originally from.  We have made it a point to see each other as often as possible to make sure that we don't grow apart.  We talk on the phone quite a bit and everytime I feel like I might question the whole relationship, hearing him at the end of the day lets me know that it will all work out.  I think that it is definitely possible to make a long distance relationship work as long as you both want it, because when one person isn't fully in it then that's when things seem to go wrong.  I'll be back in MN soon and I'll still be about 4 hrs away from him but that's a lot close than 23-24 hrs.  I can handle that short distance and so can he. I know if you both want it and are really in love then it will work out how it is suppose to.

Yes but it depends on how the relationship is long distance. If it's temporary( like away at college) then yeah if both are willing to make it work then it will work. If it's some type of 'i met him on the internet but he lives in another state...' then i don't think so.

If he's worth it, do it. My boyfriend lives 3 hours away from me and we're only able to see eachother once a month (maybe twice). If I didn't like him as much as I do, it wouldn't be worth it. I won't lie, it's hard. But I feel like our relationship is strong enough to get through the times we can't see each other. It also depends on how old you are. If you're too young to be able to drive yourselves to see each other, it's probably not the best idea since it'll make it harder. But if you really like this guy and you think it's worth having someone 3 hours away, rather than 3 minutes, do it. Sometimes long distance relationships help you to get to know each other better. When you're not together, you can only talk to each other. You don't have the physical stuff (even if that stuff is fun) to distract you. You have this opportunity to get to know each other very well.

Chalk it up as a life experience, and move on. Long distant relationships seldom work, especially, it would seem to me, ones between two different countries. It is possible, I suppose, but brothers and sisters seldom hold hands in America, that would be more of a European thing. Really, you two live so far apart, how is it going to work out anyway?

Well i think its best to wait a bit first. Have eay going conversations and maybe after a months time you can talk to them on the phone. The reason for this is because im sure that if you guys talk over the phone it will lead to meeting up with each other. You can do some background checks just to make sure the person isnt a physco.

i think it's not wrong but you have to know the person well first. I know some people who just knew each other through the internet. when they met.... something really bad happened. Be careful....

i really hope and wish you good luck... although rarely does it work.... it is definitely different if you met each other & then he started living abroad.. but abroad from point Zero is hard............ still good luck

Long distance relationships can work as long as two people are dedicated to each other and want it to work. The two of you are the only ones that will be able to tell if its working. If both of you are completely happy with each other and the way things are going then things are going well I would presume. :) If you truly love each other go for it cause it's more than likely going to work. :) Good luck!

There is nothing wrong with a long distance relatoinship, the problem is how can you trust them. If there is love, trust, honesty and commitment, then it is tottaly beautiful once you go to visit them. It's because when you are away, they misses you and you missing them. When you get together after a while its all exciting to pick you up from the airport with the flowers patiently waiting for you.

From personal experience and I also have friends trying to make long distance work. Its sooooo hard! No matter how much you like or love that person its nearly impossible, especially since you both live in two different states. Have you ever heard of the expression, The right person but the wrong time. Dont hold each other back.

long distance never works!!!!!! \nHe could fill some needs that can make you feel good but.......I wouldn't expect a completely truethful, honest or a real relationship out of it......at least nothing truely more then a friendship with possible benefits when u see him.I wouldn't get too emotional about it or you'll end up dissappointed

Look its easy you keep going and you keep falling in love, i meet someone the same why and its great dont worry if theres a will theres away. Country man expression but just take one day at a time keep talking things will work out a soon you both will be closer than 1,000's of miles apart so start saving. Your going to Europe best wish to you.

Yes if the feelings for each other is sincere and everything else is in place, surely you can't knock someone back because of where they come from. Except you are saying it might be a problem because of the distance, I can understand that but then you can work round that provided both of you are committed to travelling and ensuring that the relationship works. Finding true love is not something that happens everyday and as such if you are lucky to find it,  enjoy it.

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.

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 relationships are hard to maintain. I don't think there is a specific length of time you should wait because I don't believe you should wait at all. It sounds like you need to just live your life and not count on this fellow being "the one." Like my Ma used to say-"there are a lot of fish in the sea". If it is meant to work out things will progress but why not get to know someone who lives close. There is a lot to say for building a relationship based on spending time together doing things not just talking or e-mailing each other. LOL
