Unless you've got lots of disposable income at the ready for the trips, or you're willing to relocate to another city or state, LDRs simply are simply doomed to fail. And this is coming from a person who had one back when I was graduating from college almost fifteen years ago.

My brain hurts

Didn't ever work for me, and I would never even consider it again.

who knows what works anymore..

It can happen, it comes down to the two people that are involved if they want it to work it will work---second if you believe it’s the right person then there doesn’t need to be a long distance--- pick up your **** and move to where he is---sure it might not work out---there are no guarantees in life---But love comes around only a few times in life—enjoy the ride!!

Too soon for me to say that it works, but the relationship is growing and blossoming really well for us. Talking on the phone can really help you get to know about each other well. Tries your patience though when you can't get together and all, but have learned to do like God says, "Be Still" and things will happen when they are meant to happen. It's hard, but I am sure it will be worth the wait. Sounds odd I know, but I have so much faith and trust in this and I know it in my heart.
There is no fooling your heart, it knows what you feel.

Good call Uniquie, additionally the people involved have to be able to "Financially afford" to be with each other enough to know if they want to push it to that phase where they end up with each other.

It's easy to want to be with someone you haven't spent that much time with; but it's a totally different thing to want to move to another city to be with someone that things might be fizzling with or moved into that mundane stage of a relationship.

The Grass is always greener on the other side of the hill: But it would be wise to know IF it IS actually Greener or if it's just a different color than you're use to seeing

Damn, my 1st Edit on this site just for an "or"

I feel like Long-distance relationships carry all the responsibility and few of the benefits of a regular relationship, and leads to a lose-lose situation. It's workable short term if two people started out dating face-to-face, but I don't think it's a good idea to start out long distance. There's just so much you can't tell online, you need to meet. Also, the entire point of a relationship is to be together physically, so I think a long-term long-distance relationship completely defeats the purpose and point of this entire relationship thing.

If your kid woke up happy to see you, YDG!

Good question... can you or them be trusted? Now there's your answer.

If love is ture n/p but them are big words

iT IS POSSIBLE........it can happen......and depends on the people involved. If there is a mutual understanding of faithfullness then I can see it happen. If not, then there was nothing there to begin with ..........

They're even preferable if chronic halitosis is involved.

oh they work alright!

The last relationship I was with didn't work.

he must of been crazy
