Can long distance relationships really work? Does anyone have any advice?

This past Thanksgiving, I travelled to Alabama from my home in Virginia to visit family. I came across a beautiful southern belle and almost instantly sparked an interest. My cousin went to school with her and he eventually introduced us and we ended up hanging out a lot throughout my family visit. I fell head over heels for this girl and she lives 10 hours away. Ever since I have gotten home, I have felt miserable and can't get her off my mind. Does anyone have any advice?Can long distance relationships really work? Does anyone have any advice?
They can totally work. I've been in one for 4 years now an we have about 2 or 3 more to go before we can finally move in together. he lives in Germany and i live in California so we have a big distance to overcome but we look at it as a challenge. It takes a lot of communication, trust and honesty from both people so if you and her can do this then you are off to a good start. Call her and ask her if she is willing to be in a LDR and if she is and you both are willing to do the work required then you two can make it work. Webcams would be good so you can see eachother online. There are a lot of things that you can do for eachother to stay connected it just takes a bit of creativity. Email me if you have more questions or you want me to be more specifc. Good luck :)Can long distance relationships really work? Does anyone have any advice?
yes long distance relationships work, but only if you really want it. and can you stay faithful if it starts up? if so go ahead and give it a try. i'm in a long distance relationship and there was a period where i didnt see him for 8 months, and sure we had problems, but what relationship doesnt? if you really think she's worth it, then go for it
I say, yes they can work if you put effort into them. 10 hours away would definitely be hard. But if it is meant to be things will work out. If you have found someone that makes you feel that way, why not give it a try :)
Long distant relationships can work. Keep in touch with her and visit once in a while when you can, but don't call too frequently because you may scare her off. This is a real tricky subject all I can say is keep in touch over the phone or email, and just show you care and are thinking about her. GOOD LUCK
They CAN work, but both people have to be committed. Very very VERY committed!!





Good luck
I met my (American) wife back when she did a semester study abroad in London in 1999. After she went back to the US we had to have a long-distance relationship. It was tough but we made it through, and we recently celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary.


Anything is possible, you just need to be dedicated and committed to each other.
no, mine didn't


however i guess it depends if u 2 really love each other
I have never known it to last.


Too difficult to maintain interests.
