I believe they can work.. when you really care about someone it can be hard but I'd rather be in a long distance relationship with someone I care about than not be with them at all.. and most often couples do make plans for someone to move in the future. For me to pack up and move my life the man would have to be pretty special but he would prove to me just how special he is when he wants to make a long distance relationship work.

I agree with you cupcake. I've been in a few long distance relationships. Most recent one lasted for 6 years and we had 3 kids.

Developing and maintaining a relationship are two different animals.

But in many ways, the barriers are ignorant of the distance.

All except one, the physical.

My opinion there is totally no reason to prevent or say thing will not work out perfectly because after chatting and calling they have to meet each other whether at his place or her place afterward if things gone just fine… it will be great … personally I’m looking to have a long relation with a girl out of my country I wanna be connected with someone from different background… it is great isn’t it?

Are things that bad where you are?? I am curious, why you want someone from who isn't in your country! Is it not possible to find someone of a different background in Jordan? I am not being critical....just curious

With a strong foundation already established it is more than possible, it is common.

Its those that are started without actually spending any amount of time together or in truth knowing the other person. I have very little confidence in.
Sure it's possible and can work, Love is a strange and wonderful thing it grows and florishes in the strangest predicaments.

sadly I'm not a subscriber to this phenomenon LDR.

When and if I ever meet a lady on here that would be willing to go the distance it is kinda neccesary to start off in a long distance relationship for it to work out. Though I live in Alaska I'm looking to eventually relocate somewhere in the lower 48's. The thing is my work day is 3-4 months at a time with little if any time off and I really like my job and the places in Alaska that it takes me. So my summers are kinda obligated to my work. What I'm getting at is that for a relationship to work out for me, it would be based on a long distance relationship for up to four months(summer season) out of the year but that also gives me 8 awesome months to spend time and have some fun with that special gal. Interesting thread thumbs up

They can - for some time. Sooner or later you want to share whole life with this special person, not only weekends and this is where problems start....

i think it depends on the people involved & what they each want out of the relationship, if they don't need or want to be around someone 24-7 then it could be the ideal type of a relationship, but sooner or later someone will want more. Then what? Who moves & there's a down side to long distance relationships you never know if the person your getting ready to change your life for has been up front with you about what they were doing while you were 500 miles apart. until its to late, For me personally i could not have one for a long time i would want to see, talk and touch the person that i might be spending my life with. But then again it depends on how much you see each other already. Just remember if your in a long distance relationship your not giving yourself a chance to met anyone else that might be a lot closer to you. javascript:emot('handshake');

its kinda the way of the world to put problems in the way if you find someone speicial I think england to oz would prove hard but not impossible but england to scotland,ireland or wales is no real problem.in my case where I live now is not my place of birth or where I grew up I did the hardest move some years ago.all my very good friends barr one live in the midlands or london and I'd see a move to somwhere new as an adventure but not without its problems but again that's life.obviously I need to settle and make a home for myself and I've got dreams and hopes that will be a reality I see life as an adventure & as fun & as one big search hopefully it will be time to feel at home somwhere sooncool wine

Depends on the 2 ppl involved and how strong a relationship they develope.

And when it comes to someone is another country you need to think about alot of things including language and cultural and what would you do for work in another place.

But overall I do think it can work.

I've had a long distance relationship and moved to his country when the time felt right. It is difficult and challenging to maintain a long distance relationship, not to mention frustrating.

Suppose if you find the right person, doesn't matter where they are.

I believe that a relationship's potential has nothing to do with distance.

That being said... I think you should take into consideration that most relationships eventually fail. Do you want to be stuck in a strange land when it does?

I would have a LDR if I met the right person. I believe it can work. But you would have to want it..

I just realized the obvious...

Of those who are HERE, there's a good chance that EVERY relationship we've been in has eventually failed.
