Is it possible to maintain a long distance relationship? Hardly ideal, I would have thought.
Of course it is easier if you can find someone locally.
I do think, however, that especially with so many people travelling and settling in different countries, people often seek partners similar to them - and might more easily find this in people from their own country, or from countries with similar values/traditions.
This is the great thing about CS - you can meet so many people from all over the world that you might never have met otherwise. Your ideal match might live around the corner from you, or might live on the other side of the world.
The question is, do you hang around and wait where you are, or do you investigate other possibilities, further afield? Not an easy decision.
I think an indefinite long distance relationship would be difficult to maintain; most of these kinds of relationships start out as long distance, and if you find there is so much to keep you together, you usually eventually make plans to move together (or at least closer to each other).
But there are so many different ways of keeping relationships going, and as long as both partners are happy, why not? Even if it is not the 'traditional' way of doing it.
If there is a will, there is a way, right?
