Provided there was a possibility that the distance could be greatly reduced at some not too distant future time.

It's too hard to try for me.

I don't know if I could be in a relationship with someone that is 3,000 miles away from me again UNLESS they were the right person. But, the first LDR failed horribly and so it really puts me off from wanting to attempt another.

Twice done, twice failed. Not for me.

I am currently in a long distance relationship. I know the other person is real because we meet as much as we can and have a great interest in each other. Now the fact we are a long distance apart does make it difficult - but it can be done and be very rewarding. The hope is of course - that it won't be "long distance" for a long time

I answered "no" under the assumption that you meant "date exclusively" when you said "date". I just don't thin that works for most people.

It is very hard on the cars.but living together is even harder on my peace of mind.

I did for three and a half years. I flew across the pond to meet her, and she was suddenly transferred to Egypt. Did I learn a lesson? Yes. My heart is stupid, but I would do it again.

It depends on the person.

Love is so rare. Rarer than winning the lottery, so if you find it you've got to fight for it.

But I'm quite skeptical and cynical.

I put maybe but it would be very hard for me. I have difficulty with trust and a long distance relationship would be much more strenuous.

Been doing it for over 15 years...challenging, but willing to make the effort...but, I have the time and the means, which a lot of people don't. I would not recommend it...it is often sad, lonely, and frustrating.

Been there, done that, hated it.
