It strikes me that the success or otherwise of relationships has much more to do with attitude and perception than with geographical location.
Europeans tend to look at distance and practicality rather more than nationality. In my case for example it is as easy for me to visit someone in Germany, Netherlands or France as it is to visit the south of England.
Language barriers within Europe do however influence this choice.
Americans on the other hand seem happy to travel vast distances provided it is within the national boundary. (This by the way is not a criticism of US citizens but an attempt to show the thinking.)
The most important element of any success is surely the compatability of the individuals.
Footnote: I wonder which of my fellow Scots managed to upset heatherhearts so badly? "New York gal here in Bath, UK, adores the English, Irish and Welsh."
