For me, it works but not for a long time.
Long distance relationship is very tough -- it works to others but not for me..

I voted yes because I believe it could work. I fix clocks among other things. They break down and stop working. But there is always a root problem as to them stopping. Find the problem and it works as do all my clocks.

As to relationships between people regardless of distance.........

What do you mean when you say WORK ?

Yep, Mr. Tru is right. Very difficult unless you can afford constant plane fare. Email and phone calls just don't cut it. People need to be physically connected if it's going to have a chance.

It was the only time I was happy. When I was hundreds of miles away from my ex wife, it certainly worked for me popcorn

"When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
And tell me you're alone
Its easy to deceive
Its easy to tease but hard to get release

Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face

I spend so much time
Believing all the lies to keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth for loving what was you

Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face

Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why I don't despise?
Now all I can do
Is love what was once so alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I better realize

Les yeux sans visage, eyes without a face"

When my Father courted he married as far as his feet carried him.

When I courted I married as far as my old Cortina would hic-cup to.

When my children married it could have been anywhere a plane could land.

Depending on the relationship you agree on. The world is an Oyster.

You just have to believe in possibilities and be honest with yourself.

That would be the reason I asked of the OP what he meant of the word work.

Hello there OP. Did you find your true love on here and just took a chance........?

Obviously it all depends on how much work the two people involved choose to put in it.

Yes, they can and have as some people on CS have managed it and some went on to marriage. It takes a committment from both people to make it work and like Tru already mentioned, money and travel is involved and not a lot of people can deal with that especially if it's ongoing for years. Hopefully, people in this situation can sort out the things like relocation and all that this entails to bring it all to fruition. wine

I'm not silly enough to be scammed(at least not yet).

Of course nothing has a chance until the first meet. Given both are mutually committed to giving it a shot, I'm not completely ruling a LDR out.

There are options available for me to overcome the obstacles.

They can work, but only if there's complete commitment and trust between both people.

It's the 21st century. We don't have to reply on letters any more to stay in touch. Within a few moments of turning on a PC, you're able to chat (and more wink ) pretty much face to face.
