depends on how bad you want the relationship to work

I agree. LDR's take a hell of alot more conscious effort than dating someone in your home town. If you are a man of strong willpower and consistancy and she is a woman of the same...if communication is GREAT, then I think it's well worth it.

I had a 7 month relationship, with someone 350 miles away. however we saw each other every weekend. We just met in the middle. And sometimes one of us took a week off and drove to the other person. It was difficult, but thru texting, phone calls, and skype we made it work. Kind of funny how once your in love driving 350 miles doesn't seem to matter. So in all and all yes it can work, but both parties have to want it bad enough to make it work

Not anymore different than a short distance relationship (just takes a little more effort).. you still have to communication, be open and honest, make time for each other ... etc etc etc

Well,,,we figured out how to cut the drive down to 2.5 hrs. But that was summer time driving, now with winter roads it might take a bit more time.
Sometimes she comes here, sometimes I go there.

In "relation" to what?

If you mean do long distance relationships work? not unless commitment and relocation are inevitable.

I agree with this. Eventually, some one has to be willing to move. As for the getting to know one another phase. It can work if you are willing to put forth some effort. It takes some extra planning and maybe you can't see each other as often as you would like. But, it makes the time you do have together special. Emails and phone calls help fill the gaps between visits.

Okay, so you begin to chat with someone online. You take the time through emails to get to know that person. You talk on the phone with that person, and you become closer to them. The two of you really hit it off, so of course you want to meet. Let's say it takes two months to meet each other. In that time, you still converse through email, on line chats, phone calls, texts. The excitement builds. And then the two of you meet. And you really, really like one another.

Now, if you fully believe that their is a connection, are you going to honestly dismiss it because of distance? Oh, it would be hard work. Oh, it would just take way too much effort. Oh my gosh! It will just be so damn hard.

Hmmmmmm. Sounds like a cop out to me.

LDR's take alot more work...this is true. But if you have reached that point to where the interest level is that you believe this person could be great for you, why would you not take a chance on it? What the hell do you have to lose? If the both of you work smartly, then neither will get into a financial bind (I have heard of this happening) or you won't get taken for granted.

I dunno. Just my thoughts here. Carry on.

I'm finding it challenging to get very close because of the distance...

Okay, so 1 conjugal visit a year? With good behaviour. (Leaving the seat down 100% of the time.)

I totally agree with Goof. If you took the time to "know" the person, then why not take the chance? Wow, is traveling really that difficult these days?

It just depends on the people. It works for some and not for others. For me, it would be fine. But most people I know are not interested in an LDR.
