Long Distance Relationships? Do they work?
Iv fell in Great love with a girl over the internet... we have never meet but seen over 100 pics + cam. we are on the phone 24/7 and constantly texting each other as well.. it would take about 2 and a half to visit her.. any ways .. we are going out.. and im goin to meet her atleast twice a month!! Can this work out.. we are so much love.. we are right for each other?? Her parents know about me and they are allowing me ot stay around there house when we first meet.. Can some one tell me is there a great difference other than distance in a relationship like this. 
I know a few friends who are in the same position as me and its going fine for them.

Distance relationships can work if you both really want them to but I've never tried the internet angle. Is it not worth meeting a few times before you get into a relationship? Bit of a jump from chatting/texting/phoning to going out in my opinion. Good luck though!

General opinion seems to say: Don't get your hopes up.

Ok, feel a bit sleepy, but will write you. I actually found like this my true love, we met on the interent 2 years ago, I lved in Russia and he lived and UK, but was originally italian. I just installed icq and just wanted to find someone to talk to, and then we started to talk all the time, and after some time he started to call me..then we were kind of dating..but still havent seen each other...and then he came to Russia, to meet me...and we got that we were really right for each other. Tha it was a true love so, we are still together, though it is a bit hard for me to keep relationshipon distance, because I miss him a lot. Now I am in Sweden and we will be able to meet each other more often...I am happy for this. And I feel i am happy to be with him He is just the best! So, dont be sceared, and go ahead, meet her, if you suppose o be togher you will be, if not, then there is another right girl for you. But you should give this s try. You wont regret, I think. Good luck!

sorry for you, but not all girls are the same...I have this long distance realtionships and for the 2 years, living millions miles apard, i have never cheated on my BF! it depends on a girl actually, you can meet a s**t in real life, not just net, so first before making some conclusions he should meet a girl, I think.

I couldn't love someone I've never met, and so I can't really believe in the notion that you are, to be honest :|
In my opinion, you can't be committed to someone you've never met. Of course, I haven't had that experience, and am probably just cynical, but the fact is that even if you know the other person well (or think you do, grrrur), long distance relationships don't always work. I fail to see how you could be so committed to someone you've never met.

I think it depends on the relationship.
A co-worker of mine, from the UK/works here in NY, has been dating his girlfriend, currently in the UK for the past three years. They see each other every 2-3 weeks or so (alternating who flies to each other's country and such) and call each other all the time, video chat, etc.
I dated my boyfriend for about a year and we just broke it off a few days ago. He is from/lives in the UK and I live in NY (as you can see in the right hand corner...
oints. He would visit me every other month and I would visit him the alternating months. My dad's family lives in the UK and we visit every summer, so I got to see him more often then. But after awhile, it just got tedious for us, the calling, the flying, the video chatting. Quite honestly, and I'll be blunt here, phone sex just wasn't enough. We had agreed that we would date (and stuff) with other people if need be, because we thought we cared (loved?) each other far more than just casual activites...but we were wrong.
It depends on the relationship really. You can have a great long-distance relationship (like my co-worker,who's proposing to his gf soon!) or be lazy, like my ex and I. Either way, good luck to you!

my frd met her bf on the net and then started callin each uva 24 7 n textin before finally meetin up about a year and a half later. they started going out the day they met and are still going strong almost a year later. They only meet about once every 7 weeks (sch holidays etc) n altho its hard for her (believe me shes always on the fone sayin how much she misses him!!!) it will work if u want it to work!! and it all depends on trust, u hav to trust the uva person to not cheat and if u can, then good luck! hope that helped...
hope that helped...
Too much work for me - I'm in one over the summer (we're at uni together, so it's not an internet thing but we live 3 hours apart in summer) and to be honest much though I love him, I wouldn't do it if this was the whole basis of our relationship.
It works for some people - but there has to be some sort of long-term intention that one person will eventually move to be with the other, otherwise I don't see the point.
