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.

Write a list of all the pro's and the Con's,and decide if you can do this long distance thing! It's not for everyone!!! It can be hard when you feel lonely,ect..... If it hurts you more being in the relationship than not,then get out of it.

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.

it all depends on how commited you are to him. long distance relationships aren't easy. talk to him about it. be sure you cover every possible situation. and KNOW exactly how you feel about him. it takes two to make a relationship work.

I was married to a german national. we had a long distance relationship before we got married. but (and this is the key thing), because you cant interact in person with someone in a long distance relationship, you lose the inflections of the conversation and the body language and all the other small things that complete a persons definition. because i couldnt see that with this person, she got her citizenship and then blew town. Divorced me and left me with an empty bag. Im better off now, and am better off without her, but the point is that without the personal interaction and receptives of being in person, the relationship is doomed. be it 6000 miles like mine, or 6 miles. if you dont see the person regularly, you will never really know them. The same applies tenfold for internet relationships. The internet is now in its early teens and I have never once seen an online relationship that ever worked. Nuff said.

long distance relationships are really hard to hold together but if you try hard enough it'll be alright.  i had a boyfriend that lived in germany because he was in the army.  i really thought he could be faithful to me because the whole time while he was gone, i def was.  i mean, it might not be big but i read some stuff on this girl's profile that left a comment on his myspace and it was pretty discusting.  that just let me know that he really wasn't that into me and that it just wasn't meant to be.  good luck girl.  sometimes it does work out; just very seldomly.  ♥ a l y s e

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 started a long distance relationship a long time ago when i was 14 and we lasted 9 years. We broke up when we lived together but i'd say that everyone is different and since you have already lived together its plausible to say that you will find it hard, very hard in fact but keep at it hun, if you love each other as much as you say then you can find a way to make it work.

I'll be honest with you long distance relationships suck, but it you are truly in love they are worth it, the key to making a long distance relationship work is trust, communication, honesty and you have to have faith in the person you are with.  You have to spend every minute you are with the person like it is the last time you are going to see them.  It is hard and it is alot of work, it means alot of lonely nites, but in the long run it can be an amazing relationship.

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.

No there is nothing wrong with that keep your long distance relation but you always need to complete it with a local physical contact relation... That will work...

No, it hard to make relationship work when you are together, so you know it's hard long distance.  The person is never the person they pretend to be at a distance.

long distance relationships almost ALWAYS work because they are much easier than REAL relationships where you gotta deal w the person each day. Long distance is easy cause you go visit for 3 days or so, and just when it starts getting tough...it is time to come home. How to keep it working? Just talk once in a while, maybe send a card once in a while...nothing should ever really come up that breaks you up...it can last forever without too much work.

distance relationships are generally bad unless your trust level is extremely high. where and when do you fit the quality time. I am sorry you may want to move on at least until the distance becomes a non-issue.  :(

ive been going out with a guy for a year and we are head over heals in love with each other four months ago my parents sent me away to live with my dad.. so we had to have a long distance relationship.. it strengthens the relationship, but only do it if you see something going with you guys later on

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
