Is it possible to have a relationship despite long distances?

i do believe it CAN make the love grow. But only if you have a future plan of getting together, meanig yuo know you ar egoing to be seperated for a certain amount of time. I was with my boyfriend(now husband) together for 3 years when he had to go to afghanistan for 1 year. during this time we saw each other every four months for two weeks. since all we had in between those visits were telephone calls and letters/e-mail we had to verbally express our feeling and thoughts that you would otherwise excpress by kisses hugs, looks and so on...... it took our relationship to a whole other level and we are now happily married. oh and before he went down there we both didn't really want to get married but him being gone made us realize that we want each other in our lives forever. SO it can work but you have to work on the relationship even harder!!!

Long distance relationships can work, but I think that for such a relationship to work at least one of the people involved must be ready to move eventually. If neither one of you wants to/can live where the other one is living now, maybe you could consider going to a third country where you could both be. If neither one of you is ready to move, sorry to say, it's unlikely that the relationship will work out.\n\nA long distance relationship worked for me, we are now married and living together despite living thousands of kilometers apart for a year and a half after we got to know each other. :)

A long distant relationship can work, it both parties are truly committed.  However, it all depends how long you will be apart from eachother...  If it is just until school is finished, that's different, but if it's because you both just live in different states, then that is something to think about... \n\nSometimes one person will get tired of being lonely and tired of not being able to see each other on a regular....\n\nIt can work, but will take a lot of hard work....\n\nGOOD LUCK

Find someone else to date.  Or just immerse yourself into your group of friends.\n\nAnd who says long distance is impossible? I'm in a long distance relationship right now and it's working out great!

It all depends... are the schools in the same town, is it elementary school, or high school, or college... but the most important thing is that you trust each other enough to not see each other all the time. I know a lot of people who have had long-distance relationships, and most of them have worked pretty well so far. If you think it will be hard not to worry all the time about him being around other people, then it might not work out. Of course, I might be getting too complicated if you're only in elementary school or something.

it seems strange 15 years ago without the invention of internet, however, now you can chat with him, cam with him, and flights to be with him and him being with you is not that expensive as many years before.\nA long distance relationship(LDR) can work - if both of you put alot of effort in it. But it also takes alot of trust, time and communication.\nI had 4 long distance relationships before and now i'm married to the last LDR i had.

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

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

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.  :(

I live about an hour away from my boyfriend; it has its challenges, yeah, but it works out pretty good. I think as long as you continue to communicate throughout the week you should do great - spending weekends together is awesome.\nWe've been seeing each other for almost 2 years now. \nGood luck!!

i think it is possible,  but  someone should be a little wary...as u dont really know the person....esp long distance ones...i guess if there's a chance that they will see each other....and still feel the same...yes it is very  possible...falling in love  is really knowing the other person,  having the same interests...etc...

I can't say for another country, but I have been in a long term relationship that started out with us living in two different provinces for 2 years...:) \n\nIn the end we both moved in together, and have been happy together ever since...:)\n\nI think that love is something you can't control...when it hits you, you just know and whatever the distance, you still love them.\n\n\nAlso, in today's advancements in communication technology, distance is what you make it...Webcams, IM & unlimited long distance plans make the kilometers just seem trivial...Especially since there are people who live in the same house and can go days without seeing each other for more than a few minutes at a time.

Poorly, and not for very long.\n\nSeriously, you have to have a LOT of communication. Regularly scheduled phone calls, and some random ones too. E-mails, chat and etc. Constant communication. Otherwise, the passion goes cold. \n\nIt's a lot of work to make a long distance relationship work.

I happen to agree with cuteiepie. Keep it alive by phone, emails, snail mail...keep all communication channels open. If you have serious intentions for the future with that person, it is most important to physically spend time with each other at least once or twice a year. I think long distance relationships only work for so long. At one point or another you have to make it a "no distance" relationship. Good luck!!

Well, your situation is a little bit different than most long distance relationships.  A lot depends on how old you are and how soon you are likely to be able to get together.  If you are an adult, I'd say your chances are as good as any other relationship.\n\nAnd remember there's regular and fairly cheap Amtrak service from Jackson to NO.
