Have been in one, and it worked quite well for a few years. Sadly broken up by now, though. :(
But I know people who've made it work and moved together / planning to get married as well, so for the right people it can work out perfectly.

I've been in one. With a man, no less (he was a delicious trap though).
Worked so-so for half a year. Wouldn't do it again, not my thing.

*sigh* only works for so long, about 4 months is my experience... i don't think i'd recommend it unless you're sure it'll work... but then again you won't know unless you try.
:thumbs up: good luck!

I've done it. Didn't work out very well, worked a couple of months then everything went straight to hell.
But it can work, but not forever. A friend of mine moved to Holland last year to live with his fiancée after almost 2 years of living in different countries, sooner or later you have to close that distance.

I have but by long distance I mean like an hour away so I don't know if that's too bad.
But it worked for two years it only ended cause I didn't like some of his habits... But
distance is a serious thing to consider because it can get rough. But if you really are into that person it can definitely be worth it. And also long distance gives you your private time which is really nice. So you can kinda have best of both worlds

Been in one serious one. It's been 7 months and I've only been able to spend 24 hours with him total. Sucks, man. But so far it's working. Key is communication. After about two months, we began talking every single day using skype video call. You're not physically there with each other so spending time talking or doing anything "together" once a day keeps it strong.

I've been in two: first lasted eight months, and the other, six. I think you really need to have at least the hope of meeting someday. You can't stay long-distance forever. D: You also need to have common interests and really good chemistry conversation-wise. Since conversation is all you have, it had better be good.
What sucks is that, when I left my second long-distance boyfriend, at the time we were both broke as shit and meeting seemed like an impossible dream. Now, two months later, he's rolling in cash and is planning a visit to his NEW girlfriend. -_- Awesome.

I have been in a few. A couple seriously. But that was years ago...and more so likely when I was around 14.
I don't think I could ever do it again. But to each their own.

I was in a rather strange long-distance relationship about a year ago with a girl I met over YouTube. At the time, we were both doing anime blogs, so we just so happened to stumble into each other. The flirting started right away, and that eventually lead into Skype, which lead into a year long Internet friendship. After a while, the obvious sexual tension came through and I confronted her about it. That's when we both decided... you know... why not try it?! If we both had feelings for each other, why not express them?
It went really well at first, but the last couple of weeks were really messy. She started to really distance herself. It was obvious that the initial 'lovey dovey' thrill wasn't there anymore. In all honesty, she turned into sort of a bitch. Sensing the fact that she was too afraid to let go, I broke up with her. To say that she was relieved was a complete understatement. She was ecstatic.
I saw it as a practice run. It helped to clue me in on some of the basics in relationship building. So now I'm a total lover boy! (... XD I can't type that with a straight face)
You know, a lot of people bash long-distance cyber relationships, but it actually wasn't so bad. I really felt like I loved her at one point, but in retrospect I think that was more my own loneliness talking. I wouldn't do it again, but it was a beautiful experience while it lasted. We still talk and everything too, so it worked out in the end.
She's still my favorite Internet buddy.

No, I do not think I have. Atleast I don't think it counts, as the other person was not serious enough for it. For those kinds of relationships a great deal of commitment and tolerance is needed(more than the norm), in my opinion. I think I had it, can't say the same for the other person.

The tought of having to keep a long distance relationship, is hard. There must be trust from both sides, and communication to actually make the relationship work.
OT: No, i havent had Long distance relationships.

Been in one, but it didn't work out. I still believe it would work for some others though. Mine just proves that he and I didn't put enough effort in it for it to work.

I guess it really depends on people. You can't say there's no trust, because if there is one relationship that needs trust more than anything, it's a long distance one, for obvious reasons. Though you could say that the lack of "physical contact" can be bothersome...
I never experienced an e-relatinship, and I'm going to experience a long distance relationship soon, for 6 months...

I've been in quite a few of them, with the final one with the woman that would later become my wife. While it's true we were both in Japan at the time, I was near Yokohama, and she was near Hiroshima. If you know anything about Japan, you'd know those city's aren't quite next too each other. It took me $200 and many hours by train(each way) to see her. But because I was still in the Navy at the time, the most time I could spend with with her in person was a day and a half. I later got her to move to my city (again I could come to her because I was in the navy.)
And things went much better after that.
So, to answer your question, I think the long distance thing can work out.. as long as there is hope you can see each other in person in the future. And well, being really into each other before hand is a plus too.
