ok, Im not sure if this particular person wants a relationship, but at least I can have an idea since everyone else is far away as well.

I think it could work...I know I'd be willing... It gives you a chance to really know each other...

I've known some that work quite well ~ two that I know personally the couples are in different countries ~ and I know of some that are 100s of miles apart ~ there's a lot to consider ~ it can get expensive with travel, it takes two dedicated mature people to make it work, but as someone said here you can be 3 blocks from someone and not feel as close as that special someone a few states away, as in your case, or whereever they are ~ all relationships take work, if both parties go into it with their eyes wide open and commited then it certainly stands as much chance as with the guy next door!
Good Luck! flowerforyou

In my experience, you will feel a lot attracted towards him if you are in a long distance relationship right now.

You will be quite loving passionate, whenever you meet him...But, meanwhile your mind gets used to only see him occasionally...so finally, after all the hard work, when you guys are together, you will feel awkward as you have kind of adjusted to be away from the person.

Bottomline, don't go for it...it will hurt you more in the end.

speaking from my experience, yes they can work.

I spent 7 great yrs in one but they are alot of work and not cheap.

You have to have trust!

So... far! Obviously not for me. I think that I leave it open to God... If he finds a man for me and that man lives away and God is in it, then I know it will work.

Wheres a will theres a way!
I have known some couples from here that lived in different states from each other. One of them ended up relocating.
The couples are still together. Yes it can work!
Never pass a chance to met someone speicial due to distance!

It only works if one person moves to be with the other one. Otherwise, forget it. Maybe you can be phone friends, but not a couple. Not if no one will move for the other one.

I've seen some that have worked here. If both people are honest, and are willing to work together, then I think it's possible.

I have tried it a few times, with people I met on other sites, and they were all absolute disasters. Less because of the distance, though, and more because they simply were not truthful about themselves from Day One. And with LDRs, a lot of times, you never know about the dishonesty until you meet in person. And that might be months down the road....

I wouldn't do it again, but that's just me....

Everyone I talk to lives a long way from me. i have become interested in someone but he is several states away. Is there a chance it could work?

Someone has to be willing to move, that is why I am living in Florida....I took a chance at love and it didn't work out. We were together for 3 years.
I have been here for 8 years now.
But yes it can.
I would do it again if I m,et the right person

It did for me.....but we're now divorced. But I could meet a girl across town instead of 2000 miles away and it might not last as long- 8 years together 7 of those married.
