I started my relationship with my girlfriend while she was in Guam and I was in Florida. The internet is how we met, on okcupid.com and we used Skype and messengers to talk for a few months.
She originally was from California and moved back there about 2 months after we started talking, then a month after that she flew out to visit me in Florida and the rest is history.
Long distance relationships can work as long as both people are honest and trusting, and willing to put in the time to communicate. Without seeing each other on a daily basis and having physical intimacy or being face to face, you have to be able and willing to spend more time talking (in my estimation).
Not only that, but eventually you'll need to meet in person and finances of both people can be the problem in the long run. In my case, I didn't have the money to go to California or even to anywhere else to meet up. She only had the money because she had some left over from her previous semester of school. After that, we wouldn't have been able to visit again for who knows how long. But fortunately for us, she had no commitments at home and was able to just extend her stay with me indefinitely until we both moved back to California together.
That's just how it ended up working for us. I ain't exactly trying to suggest that for you, but just talking about my experience...my dad and stepmom met over the internet about 12 years ago and they had the financial means to have my stepmom come up from Florida to Minnesota where we lived for 3 seperate visits before she finally moved in. I dunno what your situation will be, but whichever works is fine.
