Do long distance relationships work, or do you end up wasting each other's time?

I know a couple that met on the internet and had one for 3 years before they met and now have been married for 7 years.

Why wouldn't they work??? How is it different than answering the personal ads in newspapers or meeting someone in a bar??? If the interest is there then the distance is of no importance.

Distance is all in the mind and should never play into the feelings that your developing, you should at least meet and then build on it. I have a cousin who met someone on line and did that very same thing. And it too was a long distant relationship and now they are married. If the feeling is there and you feel the attraction and you don't go for it you will never know what could of been. Who knows you could of passed up the best thing you could of had in your life. Then you can ask yourself was it worth it to pass up on my own happiness. It is like stopping to smell the flowers along in life and then you die with out ever smelling them. Take time out of your busy life and make time for yourself and smell those flowers take a chance that this may be your last day on earth. Gab that man and hang on and have the time of your life. Give up on all the hang ups you have the safety shields you have put up tare them all down and be happy.

Tammy, good points. They do happen but in very, very, very small numbers when you take account as a whole, how many have tried and became unsuccessful at it due to a lot of variables that take work and effort.

I guess it is better in someways it really gives you the chance to know the person in just a few conversations over a phone you can read a person pretty good just by talking with them.And on the other hand you go to a bar and find just what you think you may be looking for and it works out and you are smileing the next morning or your D..k is superglued to your leg that crazy Bitch

It depends on the people involve.

I was in a LDR for 3 years, it didn't work out. Me, USA, he in UK. Neither one of us had the money to visit each other much and he found someone closer to home and marry her.

There has to be an incredible amount of trust and honesty. If you feel that this person can fulfil all your wants and needs more than anyone you've known, then more than likely you will bend over backwards to be with her. I've chosen to keep my relationships in the USA from now on because you also have to take into account that the physicalness is not part of the equation and can you be patient until one of you decides whose going to move where.

But once you embark on one you have to make arrangements almost immediately to meet because its only at actual meeting that you will know if your online relationship can transient to IRL. If you're older, you dont' want to waste anymore time than you need to. Nothing in life is a waste of time if you're up to giving it the best of what you've got to find someone special who gets you and you get her.

I think it just depends on how its approached. If its a long distance friendship that grows over time and visits, that kind of thing. Communication would be very important in making it succeed.

If the great spirit says it is suppose too happen, then it does not matter how far away you both are from each other, it will happen,

BUT on his terms and not on your terms
