Long Distance Advice...... Can it work?

Hey, I really need advice from ppl who have either tried a long distance relationship or who are currenltly engaged in one.
I am from South America and I met this guy on CS who lives in Europe. We have been communicating very frequently for the last six moths and I can feel a connection. He seems to be warm caring and sensitive and I miss him if a day goes by and we dont chat. While we have not discussed any specifics because it is too early I get suttle hints that he really wants to get to know me better. While I would be he first to say that I have some trust issues, I can verify almost everything he tells me so I trust him to a certain extent.I am not currently seeing anyone and he aslo says the same. But men are men and he has needs.

So should I hold on and continue to get to know him better and see where things go or should I still look for someone in my own country.It would take a lot to make this long distance relationship work, because it would mean one person has to be relocate and give up their life and I am not really prepared for tht...
