I'm probably not the best person to answer this question. I met a really great guy on holiday. We hit it off instantly. There didn't seem to be enough time in the day to be able to talk about all we had to say. When we both got back from our holidays he wanted me to visit him as soon as i could. I did and we spent a brilliant weekend together. When i got home i instantly started to over analyse the situation and worried that he wouldn't feel the same was as me. He does want to see me again and were trying to arrange for him to come and see me. I really hope that things work out. If things do i know that i'd be willing to move to be with him. How long do you wait before you do that, how do you know when your in love, soo many questions

Somtimes, yes. Sometimes, no. Long distance relationships are hard, no doubt, if each partner is committed. If not, then one (or both) don't care about the relationship and are into other people/things, so it really isn't a relationship anyway. I know people who have made them work or had them last, and I also know people for whom these relationships did not work.

One of my friends has a boyfriend who lives in another country! So far, they have made it work. I don't know how long it will last, but right now, each of them is happy. I also have a friend who dated a guy that lived in the southern part of the state, while she lived in the northern part of the state. They saw each other every once in a while, but it ended up not working because it was just too hard for THEM.

It may work for you, you never know. The only way to really know is to try it.

There was one answer about Moving to be with the person, and I'm not sure, because as much as I want to move, my parents live in state, and we get in state tuition at my school. I don't want to have to pay more to go up to CT, as I'm in FL, and my boyfriend and his family is still there. We met in high school. So I'm officially waiting about four maybe five years and I'll move once I have the $$, cause I'm currently broke.

yes they can work me and my bf have been going out for 10 months and i live in New zealand and he lives in Australia in a little town up by Mackay and i live in a little settlement. Me and daniel both met on KST (kill some time) and i thought i would never find a desent guy and im only 17 yrs old and hes 18 this year. He is planning to come over to NZ in November and be wth me for 2 weeks we might be travelling all aorund NZ. The biggest issue is other people they just don't understand what a long distance relationship is and they try put me of the idea of it but honestly i dn't put up with it. My bf gets upset when people do thisd to me. Next month we will be going out for a year and im excited. And next year im moving in with him and honestly im really happy. I love him so much and i miss every singel day but we call each other, write letters and go on msn and we both have webcam. but the most wonderful thing bout this is when he always calls me beautiful and that im the one who hes been searching for. hes had two realtionships b4 me and he told me that he was gonna give up on life (kill himself) but i hleped him out he loves me for who i am he trusts me he thinks im the 1 who hes been searching for. Telling you now any1 can do it just trust in yourself and that other person don't put yourself down just beleive inyourslef and you'll be with them soon.

i and my BF met when he had traveled to Thailand. we have a chance to dating only 5 days. anyway, that was such a great time. after that, we keep calling and email to each other everyday. he asked me to visit him at USA. i have decided to go in order to get to know each other better. well, the question is what will be happening after visit. can we sustain our relationship while we are 10,000 miles apart? he said long distance relationship is hard, but then again... what relationship is easy?, i wonder.
