There have been several couples who have met here and gone on to live happily ever after, and were in a LDR when they first met. I know of at least 6-7 couples on here that have moved mountains to make it work, and are very glad that they did so.
I hope in the future, we add you to the list.

I think it can work if both parties are determined & willing/striving to make it work/happen. But there has to be a goal set to meet in the future. If both parties aren't working on an equal basis, chances are that one or the other will give up for lack of effort.

Not if at least one partner can afford (and willing) to travel and stay at the location of the other one.
That's the only way to find out.
You can get your answer only by spending enough face-to-face time with this other person. No polls will help.

I would like to believe a long distance relationship can work. I am on this CS site because I think it is possible. I do have the means to travel a lot and often. I just have to find a lady who likes me enough to get me to increase my air miles.

Although they aren't for me,I guess a long distance relationship can work as long as both parties are determined to make one work.

If you think it might not work for one second then do not even try....when something goes wrong it will be the first thing you will blame....and then the long-distance effect wiill really take its toll.

My niece was in a LD Relationship with a man in the UK. They met when both were teaching in Japan, and held onto the relationship by seeing each other every three months. They were married after three years of LDR, and he moved to the US, but she was very happy even when seeing each other only four weeks per year.
The caveats are: 1) They knew each other pretty well before engaging in this relationship. 2) They both were willing to spend the time and money to meet every three months. I think they used skype or something for talking to each other, and I know my nieces cell phone bills were high. But they are one of the happiest couples I know.
My question was always why they waited so long. I understood the year it took to make the final decision, then the year it took to get his work visa, but that other year... Seems like a waste of time. I am 52 tho, so three years is a long time for me. At 28, both building careers etc, it may have seemed to fly by. Another thing to consider is how long is the distance and are things like visa's (especially into the US) or international airfares are involved.
I would definitely consider an LDR if the caveats were met and there was a strong spark at the first meeting...

Hi Laura, how are you?
Just to add to the above: If chemistry is there, then there is a chance, and it is only the beginning.
From believing that He/She is THE ONE, to very strong will, to perseverance...to many practical aspects of their current, and equally important, future life together.
But, it can work.

Hmmm... I was in one, 3 years US-UK. For a long time, the concept "where there's a will" kept everything afloat. The cost and time to fly back and forth was a whole other issue. In the end, the whole thing went kablooee.
My opinion, with hindsight, is that it would have ended anyway, but sooner than it did. The idea of having to overcome the distance issue masked other issues that would have come to the forefront sooner had he lived "next door." That is an aspect of an LDR that one usually doesn't think about. This isn't to say that it can't or won't work, but I doubt that I'd do it again; certainly not across continents. The time in-between visits; the frustration... nah, not going there again...

They can work. If people remember that it is the people involved that will make it work and there is no ocean or land that can prevent it from working. Love is about love, not geography.
