    of course it will work... even if your far far away to each other..if you have trust to each other it will work.

    i voted no

    the only exception in my opinion is if you are dating. And then one person has to move or go to college or is in the military or something like that.

    If it is just like. You met online and are dating.. but long distance. Then no.

    I say.. what is the point?

    Plus, in my experience most men are untrustworthy.

    no offence, I mean it, I only said in my experience.

    and cheating sickens me

    I have trust issues

    i voted no too.

    phoning just isnt the same as being face to face.. less satisfying.. and you cant read the person's body language to see if he/she is cheating or not.
    and theres so many temptations out there.. who knows?

    If you are referring to internet relationships, then NO no NO No NO No NO

    But if you know the person, then Non No NONONO

    Long Distance = Not Glamorous

    What's the point?

    One very short word.... NO

    Relationships can't grow if you're not together. When you do get together, you'll spend hlaf the time getting to know each other again, and the other half saying bye.

    Relationships are based on shared experiences, so if you're not together, there's nothing to share.

    There's an expression I go by: "If I can't touch it, I don't want it"

    long distance relationships rarely last a sgnificant amount of time.
    I suppose it depends on what you want out of ithe relationship, if its just someone to talk to , confide in etc then maybe but otherwise no.

    You may be pleased to hear that i am a male who has never cheated on a girlfriend.

    I voted no because it just cant work in my opinion (and i've done it for 4 months) unless you have a deadline on when the person who is away is coming back.

    I think not. Of course if you love someone so much it can overcome anything. But if you love someone so much you wouldn't move away from them. The person you love should be the most important thing in your life, so why move away for university/jobs? You would take them with you, or stay with them. My fiance had wanted to do a course in another city but decided he just couldn't bare to be away from me. Even if the job/course is something that pays less or not as enjoyable if you are with the person you love it is worth it!

    No. You can't have a relationship over the phone. Neither can you have a relationship on the internet. I just doesn't work.

    I chose No because I don't think It will would really get you anywhere.
    1) its awkward getting on the internet with distractions around you and talking
    2) you can never share experiences or good times you had together
    and 3) They will most likely find someone else that can share experiences and it doesn't cost anything to talk to them

    it also depends on how far it would be. a few towns over is okay a state is kind of on the line but I do not support different parts of the country.

    there are a lot of misunderstandings over the internet, there is no natural emotions put into whatever you are typing so I say why bother. if you talk on the internet it is different than in real life like we all know so how would we know if you like their personality after a while apart. (also on the topic of misunderstanding)

    thats why I think long distance relationships wont work at all

    I voted no.

    I would say why, but I would basically be repeating what everyone else said.

    I don't think so. Not seeing each other makes relationships hard, phone conversations just aren't the same as face to face conversations. Eventually, one person will find someone else they like, and since they are closer to them, the long-distance relationship will fail.
