Do you think Long distance relationships can work?

Some can and some can't. Either way it is hard work but relationships are hard work ;-)

Only for awhile.

From what I've seen, only if they are long term for a few years at the most.

Takes strong people, like "The Greatest Generation."

I would think it depends on how committed the couple is to making it work - or something like that.

Mine has for 2 years now! :)

Maybe. Mine didn't work because she stopped loving me. .-.

Not forever. There needs to be a game plan that brings them together, eventually.

Sometimes.

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" comes to mind; but then I remember this "Out of sight, out of mind". Take your pick.

A year at the longest for faithful partners.

Yes, I would love OZbama if he went back to Africa

I did ten years in the Marine Corps and Navy combined, including many extended deployments of at least 6 months ... then, after grad school, I taught classes on Navy ships for six or eight months at a time, ususally while the ship was underway - did that for a couple of years ... I've been married for twenty-four years to the same woman, who I married immediately after USMC infantry training and remained true to through all of that ... it's a matter of quality vrs quantity, and my having made the wise decision to marry the daughter of a military man ... I have, however, seen deployment rip apart several marriages - but they were apparently weak to begin with

But only for a limited time. Long term companionship usually requires a personal sharing that can't be substituted with technology.

if both parts do there fare share to make it work

But you can't be in one if you're weak. Or if one of you is weak. You also have to have plans and stick to them.
I just got out of one that went straight to hell because my dude was not right. He did not keep his promises. He was bad to me.

NO ONE SHOULD BE BAD TO YOU...

I am a witness. I have been In love with a guy for more than a year. If 2 people love each other, it can work out. It has it's disadvantages: for instance, when you talk about love, you talk about being together physically, hugging and kissing. But hey, if you are going crazy for each-other without being close then it just proves the love.

I don't see the purpose to it. Unless it is to really NOT be committed to a relationship...
I would rather a hands on relationship....not a long distance one...

Yes I think they can as long as the people in them eventually get to be together.

very very very few of them do. and 1 out of those 5 people will get married.

If there is an end in sight. People make them work all the time. I did long distance for 2 years and now we live together. Whether you live together then one of you has to temporarily move away, or whether you meet online and plan to live together in the future, if your bond is strong enough of course it can work.

Depends on if you expect fidelity from a young man

Well a young man can cheat when his girlfriend lives down the street, or even lives with him >.> Distance doesn't make a man more likely to cheat.

Yes it does. He is not around. He is around down the street. Be reasonable. I am not trying to be mean but he might sweet talk the young lady and tell her what she wants to here. Whisper sweet nothings. It's easier from a distance to do that as familiarity does breed some contempt after a while - say 6 months or so. You can be nice forever from a distance

Short term. It won't hold up after too long.

Yes but within reason obviously.

To each, his own! There are no absolutes with the human heart!

Been in one for 14 months.

I'm doing good

Yes, they can work, but it takes a commitment and a lot of effort.

Yes it can work but it requires a lot of commitment and dedication from both people.

It's not important if you have a true love!

Jesus Loves,me, & I Him ; )

some

Physical distance is no match for the closeness of two hearts.

Sure they can if they are meant to be.

Too many 'distractions'

it depends on how you define "work" - a long distance relationship in my experience is never realtisitc, it always seems like when you're together it's like a holiday not real life
