Have you ever had a long distance relationship that worked?

Never had one, if you mean a relationship with an SO.

I had a long distance relationship for 4.5 years and it didn't work. I don't think it would have lasted so long if we were in the same city.

Once the disance was eliminated, that was pretty much the end of it.

No. I had one when I was a teenager that lasted a couple of years.

I'll let everyone know later because I'm in one right now. So far it's worked for 10 and a half months.

I wouldn't be able to survive in a long distance relationship. No sex, no seeing her or doing things with her all the time...Andyroo though. Now there's a guy I admire. over 10 months! Wow!

Well, I'm going with what Andyroo said right now. I'm currently in one that's been working for 7 months... but as of ones I've had before, they never worked.

Yes! It took several years, though. Nine months after my SO moved to Hong Kong, we broke up. We didn't see each other for 2 years. We eventually got back together, starting "dating" (I lived in Florida, he was still in Hong Kong), and eventually married.

Sort of. When I met my SO, he had to go away for 3 months only 2 weeks after we met. While he was away we built up a friendship and when he got back, we got it on!

Is 90km a long distance relationship?

The longest distance was covered in a one-and-a-half hour drive. Probably not the kind of distance meant here but it was a lot at the time!

No I have never had one. I think long distance relationships are really hard to keep up with. I applaud everyone who has one and makes it work. One of my SO's moved away and we decided to just break up.

Nope. They have never worked for me.

How far away are you from each other?

I'm not sure if this is what was meant by a long distance relationship, we don't live all that far, but we live in different cities, about an hour apart.

That's long distance. I needs to be living in the same town or I'll get lonely and move on to another girl!

I wouldn't be able to handle not seeing my boyfriend.

Not a romantic one. I have a good friend who's overseas for a little bit.

I wouldn't attempt to have one because I hear they're hard and they never work.

the relationship that i am currently in, we have been together 5 years. after we were together about a year to a year and a half, i moved 800 miles away.(she stayed in NY, i moved to florida.)
we lived apart for a year, at first we saw each other every month and then when that became impossible financially, we visited every other month. there were of course, problems, but we were able by keeping communication honest and open to work things out. she moved to florida when she was ready and we are doing well.

I'm kinda in the middle of one with a girl from Germany...we'll see how that works out...hopefully we'll keep in contact. :)

Maybe you should find someone else!!

Like me!!

lol lol

LOL, well first of all, you're even farther than my boyfriend, and I couldn't stand not being with him, as much as I flirt.

Ah, that's sweet!!

You really like him then?

It worked a little bit, lasted for like 6 months..but his dad found out and didn't like the idea. Oops.

Yeah, I love him, sorry, lol

I'm in a long distance realationship right now (Amsterdam-Dublin), and it certainly doesn't work. We never see eachother! And the phone is no substitute!

I hope the long distance relationship that I am in right now will work. The plan is to make it a non-long distance in the future, but for right now, it will just have to be enough to see each other when we can.

Since I don't feel like looking it up .. about how far apart are Amsterdam and Dublin?

400 miles.. but there are two seas between the cities, so you will have to fly, which makes it expensive.

It's okay......it's good to see someone so young in love

Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Hey you!

I'm in one that is working right now. My botfriend is living in the next state from me where i just moved away from a couple months ago and he's moving up here in a couple of months and it's working so far...

but I hope to make one work

I have had a long distance relationship, but it did not work out.

It worked for about 2 years. The correspondence slowly disapated.

I have never had a long distance relationship.

We have not eliminated the distance yet...not completely.

The temptation to stray was too much for him. And it is too easy to forget the excitement.

My long distance relationship was quite a few years ago, when I was a teenager, but it did not work at all. Maybe I was just too young though?!

actually it worked for 12 months, saw him only once a month, then saw him every weekend for two months, and that was too much....

Way to much time involved

Worked for 2 years, then failed.

I will have to get back to you on this one because i m currently involved in a long distance relationship of 2000 miles. We have been together about 2 1/2 months soooo we'll see what happens. I LOVE YOU SWEETIE!! xoxox

Well, so far. It's been nearly a month, and I'm seeing her in three weeks. We'll be back together for a month in the winter and three next summer, so there's a horizon to look forward to...

Never underestimate the power of geography.
