    I tried dating someone that moved to Chicago(13 hours from me) a little over a year ago. It worked for a couple weeks, but then we started arguing all the time about EVERYTHING. We couldn't confront each other anymore about things. I guess it works for some people, but depending on how far away the other person is, it's hard and does not work for me.

    how long distance are you talking? When we first started dating, my fiance and I were apart but only during the week. We were close enough where we could see each other on the weekend. (1 1/2 hours apart)

    Yes how long distance? I've been in a relationship for 2 1/2 years with my boyfriend who lives an hour away. We both have a child (previous relationships) and both work crazy (opposite hours). Sometime we see each other on Sundays but in the beginning we'd go weeks with ought seeing each other. It is tough but we've stuck through it. We hope to move in together this summer but that means one of us moving out of state.

    He lives in my hometown in NJ and I live in Georgia. We talk constantly, manage trips every few months and he's already put the wheels in motion to move here by the end of the year.

    I didn't call mine long-distance, I called it continent-distance (for obvious reasons). It gets hard, but if you love them and they love you, it'll work out. Skype, oovoo, emails, pics all help. The thing that can definitely destroy it is insecurity. If either is insecure...won't work. Jealousy creeps it's ugly head in and there it goes....
    Speaking from experience (america/africa) it can work. We did it almost 2 years

    Kinda. He lives just over an hour from me but since I don't have a car and we work, we only see each other a 1-2 times a month. It's rough but we're looking to find a place together by the end of this year. I can't wait. We've been together a year and a half now. :)

    Been in a relationship like that since june last year. Poland-Sweden distance.
    I'm bipolar hes extreempy introvertic, so sometimes there is an argument , but we seem to talk it out.
    It requires tad of effort and hell ton of trust, so isnt an adventure for everyone, but as for now works for us.
    I was in long distance relationship before that but my then boyfriend didnt put any effort and i didnt put much trust at all, so i ended vert very badly.
    We're not planning to stay as long distance and hoping to live together by end of the year latest.
    We see eachother every ~2 months and yeah, he tends to go :o on airports seeing10+kg difference , which is sure nice :0

    If the guy is worth it then the relationship is worth it :D

    I've had multiple LDR. For me, personally, it was too hard. It gave me alot of anxiety.

    I think I could only date someone now if they are in my town, or at leas in close driving distance.

    I'm interning in Nashville and my live-in boyfriend stayed behind in Memphis! It sucks, but at least it's only a 3 hour drive and so far we've seen each other every weekend. Luckily it's only until some time in May...

    I did for three years.

    He's moving here for good in a week.
    There are days that simply suck and are so lonely. But every sad second is worth it.

    I had LDR for about a year and half, and it was one of the hardest things that I had done, because I wanted to be with her all the time. We were 3 hours away from each other, and we tried to make weekend trips the best we could, but in the end, she found someone closer to her and it ended.

    For some it can work and for others, it is just too hard. Still being with her during that time was some of the best, and i would not trade it for nothing. You just have keep working at it.

    I am! :( We met on a cruise this past summer and have been connected ever since.... He's in Jersey and I'm in Massachusetts. And I'll admit some days it just plain sucks! But there's always skype and cell phones so somehow we've managed to make it work this long. We try and do lots of skype dates where we'll both make dinner and eat it together, we watch lots of netflix together, and we've even managed to play a board game over skype! hahah. :) Luckily we both have understanding bosses so each month, one of us takes a few days off from work and we visit the other one so we have something to look forward to. It's definitely hard, and I cant wait until the day we get to live together. But we're in love so we make it work!

    I did it for 2 years!

    He was stationed in Oklahoma/San Antonio and I lived in Houston. It's hard but doable.

    It makes me feel so much better to know I'm not alone in this! And, yes, when you find someone so amazing it's worth every second of missing them. :-)

    Im in a long distance relationship. Been with my boyfriend for over 6 months Met through a friend. But i have yet to meet him. Which others say is weird but to me i feel a closer connection to him personality wise. Hes gonna come up here in march and i cannot wait. Even tho it hurts with how much i miss him every day or how badly i want to just hold his hand. It will all be worth it in the end (:
