Long distance relationships, can they really work?

[zet1972]

So guys, I was wondering do long distance relationships actually work or can survive when the individuals live at opposite ends of a country? Can meeting someone online and having an online relationship work when the two people live so far away? Yeah the two would have to meet eventually and see if they like each other etc. Obviously the two would have to have seen each other before so there weren't any stalkerish surprises or any cases of mistaken identity.

So masses of the Gayspeak forum what do you think? Can an online long distance relationship really work?

I think it all depends on the foundation of your relationship, and the love, trust and promises the two people have for each other.

My two closest friends are currently in that situation. They met each other 4 years ago and dated when they lived in NYC. One of them had to move to Oxford, UK because his immigration lawyer screwed up his case filing, while the other moved to Boston College for his Ph.D. They talked on skype every night and they take turns to visit each other whenever they can. They have been together for over 4 years now, and their relationship is still growing strong.

I hope this can give you some encouragement.
