I've had two. Both ended becuase of distance. That doesn't necessarily apply to other folks.

It depends on your situation. Do you or they have relocation issues like children, elder parents or jobs that can't be lost? If the answer is no then then I think it could work.

I’ve recently met someone, from this website, and he’s long distance. We’re both aware of the distance problems, but both open to giving it a chance since the attraction and connection to one another has developed at lightening speed. Flights have already been booked, so we’ll just have to see if this is as amazing in person as it has been over the phone so far. If the physical chemistry is there when we meet in person then we’ll tackle the distance problem. First things first.

I think they can work. With a little help from skype or facetime or whatever you choose. Talk every day, as many times a day as possible, don't give each other reason to question trust or loyalty. Be honest always. For it to really work, it has to also be 50/50. Both need to be able to make the effort to visit and what not. Good luck!

Been there done that and no thanks, I will pass.

Makes the sometimes-difficult next to impossible, imo.

Best phone sex I ever had. Only one I ever did with. But it was continuation of what we did when together in same place. We just got crafty and naughty. Need the mother of invention. Every time my phone rang at 3 AM I answered.

Can’t see much harm in it. You never know , if things really click then it is not unheard of for people to move from one side of the world to the other for love!

No need to run, distance is already a factor. The minute you decide is not working then you just stop texting or calling. Its just that easy

They can work, (I had one whilst at Uni.), but I think it's best if you know and trust someone first. If you're starting a relationship at a distance it's kind of a leap of faith I'm finding.
