    It all depends on how long you have been dating before being separated by the distance, if less than a year, I'm afraid it can be really hard especially when you are young. Don't waste your time there are plenty of people around you, and if the relationship is meant to be then someday you will meet. But take it from someone who has had two failed long distance relationships.

    I think a long distance relationship can work. You are the one who make it work. As long as you stay connected and you both still like each other then you should be fine. If you both really like each other, it will work out. I have had a long distance relationship before. It works if you want it to work. Trust me. I know. If it does not work out for you, try to stay conected anyway. Stay good friends. That way, if they come back, you can get back together.

    Only if you eventually close the distance (and can still handle each other locally). Temporary distance isn't a bad thing if you have plans for the future. If you expect to be long distance forever, than no. It's not worth it either.

    It depends on the relationship. Usually they don't work and that's because distance causes you to get jealous of your gf/bf or just not seeing each other makes you grow apart.

    But don't get your hopes down. I'm trying to make a long distance relationship work. Just try to stay busy and try to stay away from guys/girls that could make your bf/gf jealous.

    heeeeellllllllllll no!! theres to many risks with it all. say for instacne u live in michigan and ur girl or boy lives in Florida.now think of all of the girls hes checking out, think of how if ur not there to do things with him then he'll be bored with it all, and try and make up excuses for why he shouldn't wait 4 u. but....then there's this thing called love, and if it really exists then it'll work, 4get all of the stuf fi jsut wrote cuz if theres love then none of that even matters, so just ask urself: is there luv between u 2? real love?

    Yes, although challenging in many aspects, it can work. You would have to trust each other and be able to communicate and to be totally honest.

    I have seen a lot of people end it because they new that when they were away it would be too hard for them. I know a few who have had one and it worked great for them. They said they didn't see each other everyday, so they missed each other. It varies per individual.

    NO. Mine isnt working very well. Tampa vs Syracuse. Either just be friends over the phone and via email, or one of you move to where the other one is. Thats the choice I am about to make.
