Have you been in one?

Do you believe in them?

What's the key in order for them to actually work?

I find that people have such varying opinions on this topic...just curious what most of you think. I know people who have had great experiences (leading to marriage etc) and some bad ones as well (just like in regular relationships, of course).

with technology today like Skype its easier for contact too make it cheaper and all but the fact remains the same can he keep it in his pants or will she keep her legs closed is what it comes down too

not having that physical contact is difficult for people look what happens too the soldiers who go down range while the wives/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend out smashing other people and they risking each other lives

I've done it once before and it didn't end well at all for me :to: :sadbron:

but i aint gonna say it can't work cuz it can but its real hard is what i will say

I've been in one, girl lived 3 hours away
Nope I don't believe in them

Key to actually make them work is for one of the parties to move closer.

I don't think they work for young people. Their hormones... they're still figuring out who they are in life and what they want. They're enjoying their youth. They're learning to control their emotions. I feel like younger people don't handle conflict well. All of the little issues that arise in a relationship, I think can be heightened when you're emotionally under-developed and dealing with someone who isn't around all of the time.

Relationships take a good amount of work, time, trust and love. And patience, in my humble opinion. And I think a long-distance relationship probably requires a certain level of wisdom, too.
Not every missed call means they are cheating on you. Not every argument means they don't still love you, even though you might be laying there at night dwelling on it in an empty bed.

But I do believe in them. I believe they can work. But people have to make it a habit to try and keep in touch regularly and often. To speak honestly about what they feel. And see each other regularly. Even if it's just a long weekend or something every few weeks. If they can get through the first few months, I think it becomes like any other relationship.

That's my opinion, though.
I'm sure I'll be called a simp.
