I was in a long distance relationship myself and it worked out! But there are certain rules you have to follow.
I believe the most important things are communication and trust. Check out this article, it really helps a lot: http://lovesagame.com/10-rules-to-make-long-distance-relationships-work/

No , not usually. You really need to be able to spend alot of time actually being together. The phone and emails dont cut it, unless there is a long term plan that one of you two will be moving to be with the other. I tried it for 2 years... it was frustrating, nad heart breaking in the end. You just can not know who the other person is long distance. You might even find he likes it long distance because he has another life that he doesnt want you to know about.

have you heard the song by The Beegees, "Sad Eyes" that will tell you enough. what if the guy across the country had another intrest, your far away, you cant keep a relationship like that. and theres a big difference from talking to someone on the phone or computer then you actually being with the person.

Not usually, but if both people are really committed to the relationship (okay ,as long as it's not online, that's a no no) and want to make things work, and completly trust eachother and it's not long term separation (over 3-6 months) then it should work.
Ask whoever it is if they SERIOUSLY want to go through being in a long distance relationship and not take it as just a joke.

Yes, long distant relationships can work out. I know, because my best friend, she met a guy in Florida on vacation and she lived in New York. They kept in touch through emails, phone calls, and letters. They even visited each other a couple times. They eventually married and have been married for a year now. Good luck with it. If it is meant to be, it will happen.
