They seem to for some people but I dont really think its for me - I could never move from here so dont see much point in getting involved with somebody from far away....

I understand, that's where I seem to be stuck. Many men I meet, they all live so far away from me. I wish, I had a magic carpet to just fly there and check things out. :bouet:

It really depends on both parties and their strength of character, You need to have the ability to write in a way that conveys not just romance and trust but commitment and total honesty. The periods of time between actual face to face meetings can become too much for some to cope with, but, if you have the special kind of link with each other, then LDR can work,however, there has to be a point when any LDR will become a real one to one relationship and it is knowing that you will both be together at some point, that gives you the strength to continue. There are many conditions that a "Normal" relationship won't have, such as who will eventually move away from their original home and of course the financial burden travel/moving will incur.

Thank you very much for the input. There are so many things to think about and you just named a lot of them. But what I finding hard to deal with is the commitment part of it all.
People who are not able to maintian a relationship face to face can not long distance. This is the problem with the largest portion of people. People able to maintain any relationship is very low at best, in the single digit percentage.
People lack within the things conducive with love of another.
plus you must face reality,all these others are liveing in a make beleave world-its not that simple or easy to accept-i was in a relationship where i had to work out of town which was just a fewe hours away-and it caused mojor issues-it may not be the same for all but some can be very suspisious of everything you do-becareful of your deciesions.

I had an LDR with a wonderful lady from the Ukraine, we built up a relationship which was based more on our love of common interests than romance, but when I visited her for a week, things changed and we became far closer, by writing truly honest letters we shared the same positive and negative thoughts you have in any relationship, commitment was not an issue, which was further enhanced after we spent a week on holiday in Turkey together. Sadly UK Visa conditions killed our chances of ever becoming more than just friends.
