Long distance relationships do they work?

So i am falling in love with the perfect guy for me. The only problem is that he lives in Scotland and i live in Texas, USA. He is 18 and i am 17 and i we can't fly to each other cause we don't have enough money.


We talk on webcam and we text and email. I was just wanting to know if long distance relationships ever work out? Please no people saying he might be a 40 year old pedifial or anything like that cause he is not.Long distance relationships do they work?
I'm sure there are incidences where they ever have worked, but---





With no history of an in-person';, physical relationship, I would say it would be very, very difficult to make a long distance relationship work. If you had met in person, developed a relationship and then were separated, it would d be hard. Without this foundation, I would say it would next to impossible. Especially at your age, you both should be enjoying the physical companionship of one another. I think you'll find that both of you, over time, are going to want to enjoy having someone you can kiss, hug, hold hands with, etc. As long as you are prepared to either give or receive a webcam-based or email break-up, I wouldn't put all of my emotional eggs in this basket.Long distance relationships do they work?
Well, unless you met each other in real life and not online, and then under some circumstance had to move away from each other, that's the only time a long distance relationship is really viable.





Unless you actually got to know each other in person, there's really not much point in pursuing this. It's easier to talk to someone over the internet, but if you spent that time talking to people where you live, you'd fine guys that are really nice too.





And, unless you have enough money to make trips to see each other every few months, there really is no point. o_O Unfortunately.





I'm in a long distance relationship right now between Toronto and Singapore, so I am not just talking out of my ***. I know how these things work heheh. You should have met him first, and THEN pursued a LD relationship, you're going about it the wrong way. Keep up with him as buddies or pen pals or whatever, but because of the fact that nothing physical will happen, just find someone wherever you live, it's much more satisfying.
well they dont really work out cause you never know what he is doing behimd your back. even tho her might not do anything. and anyways i know this one couple and he lives in AZ and she lives in CA and they see each other about every weekend because her mom is a pilot and she gets free air fares. so i dont think a long distance relationship will work because you cant see him like you would a normal boyfriend
ur safe if u hv toked to him over the webcam, but still not 100% safe. cos he may be reading out the dialogues at the back and telling some other guy, younger or older, to lip sync for him. i know it sounds crazy, but we have to consider all possibilities, right? after all its a matter abt ur life. so play it safe. dont trust anyone whom u hv not met, be it even if u hv seen him or her on the webcam. anything is possible. protect urself. long distance relationships, in most cases, i wud say, atleast 95% cases, fails. this is cos the ability to sustain oneself from meeting the other, goes away wid the passage of time. so my advice for u wud be to back out.
Probably not for the long term. I think of long distance in terms of 3 or 4 hours separation. Still, you have the possibility of the future. Maybe, a holiday together. Or attending same college. The youth factor makes your chances greater, than the percentage would be if you were both settled into a career. Hope it works out for both of you. Enjoy what you have.
yes they do work if you make them if you love each other then you can make it work


ive been with my girlfriend online for over 2 months but ive known her for 7


were hoping to get married





when you have enough money or you guys could put your money together so one of you can travel to the other
yes they work im in one and have been for 1 year and 1/2 now, and i know hes not cheating. if you trust him they will work!


good luck


oh btw im 14 and my bfs 16 and he only lives 30 min. away but still its long distance
ugh... that's a hard one.. but i would have to say they CAN work, it just depends on if hes the right guy! so i really hope it works out for you in the end, and good luck.
for me, they never work.


that's just my experience so i don't waste my time on them. but if you really feel that it could work and you trust him enough, it might work out. just be careful.
yeperoodle they work! theyre the best kind of relatioiship. and the best part is you can cheat on them and they wont even know. you go girl!
If he's not cheating on you or reverse. but its hard to know, there's a limit to how much you really know about that person. It might work.
No
depends on how they live...
yes they work, it is true love.
no



never, dont evn bother its either u meet anotha guy or he meet anotha grl... life
They can work but you have to make them work.


Im in a LDR with my girlfriend (she lives in NV, USA + I live in England). Its worked for us but it is not easy at times. You have to talk alot (I speak to her everyday - no exception).





We try to see each other every few months but you defiantly need to look at meeting if you haven't met before. I met my girlfriend online and when we met (i flew there) I was so nervous but let me say it was magical.





Tell your boyfriend to get skype and he can call your phone for 1p (a penny) a minute if your not at home. Dont let anyone tell you it wont work or else it WILL fail. If you both want it then it will work just be VERY patient.





I trust my girlfriend and she trusts me - theres no differencee between long and short distance relationship as they both need trust. Not everyone is the same - there are some genuine people out there. Good Luck and I hope it works out for you.
