ive watched and posted on these threads for a while now and there's a lot about love and dating of course of all types of situations and topics....but i dont recall seeing one specifically about getting "datehooked" up long distance. like there's been a few times from here that i've met men and chatted LD (long distance) and it seemed to go well but maybe didnt last for one reason or another. but i have myself wondering is it really possible to fall in love w s/o that is miles away from u, even tho u r not able to see and date that s/o on a reg. basis. my initial thinking is no way, it would never work cuz the need for that immediate attn esp. physically isn't reachable but u could still get it emotionally. but is it something that can work in both your favor where eventually if u liked each other so much, i.e., fell in love that u would end up meeting and being together as one in the future? is it a REAL possibility?
the thing w/on-line dating is that u run the chance of meeting s/o more than u would in your own area cuz there r ppl from all walks of life and areas coming to u, so that may happen where u find s/o that way. i have heard ppl comment on here that they have met ppl far away and it has become where it worked and then others say no way, jose!
so is it really again love conquers all no matter where u r physically located as long as u r emotionally connected and u form that bond and understanding that the 2 of u will make it work or is it really better where it's not such a physical challenge to just stay within your immediate area for love??? 
p.s. sorry if this is a repeat thread. im sure i missed it the first time around!!

I think it depends.. Are both willing to make the sacrifice of not always being there physically for each other, but mentally? Do you both want the same thing for the future? Are you willing to wait for it? Once you have it, are you willing to re-work the relationship because everything will change once you are a couple in the physical aspect? I have not heard of a long term relationship working out..
However, a friend of mine is doing the long term thing and they plan on getting married.. She feels that she is truly in love with this man, and vice versa, and I wish her nothing but happiness. The question will be what the relationship will be like once they are able to live in the same city; will she love him the same way or will things change? Questions, questions, questions..

It's possible, but it's not for everyone, even if you can afford it...
My downfall there is, I found that if I can't physically look someone in the eye when they are talking to me, forget it... I can not trust that... No web cam with big screen, or chatting on the phone for hours on end will ever do... I need to see the body language..

Yes, I believe in it. While they say you don't know if you'll click in person or not, I've met a great guy here at DH, and it makes me happy to hear from him and to tell him what's happening with me. We don't see each other in person, but we connect several times a week, and I feel like I'm getting to know the cast of characters in his inner circle.
Then again, if you'll check my profile, you'll notice I don't have a laundry list of specific qualifications. This opens me up to, well, a world of possibilities. The guy I'm looking forward to meeting shares my love of music, fun and family. He went through a life-changing experience that made him live more fully than he ever imagined he would, and I love his spirit.

Totally depends on where each person is at in their life and what they want. Perfect for me for years, but not anymore. Best of luck to you!!

I don't know if it is, but I sure hope so.
The more people I meet where I live now the more I realize how out of my element I am here.
So, the likelihood of my finding love nearby is faint at best.

Of course it is. There are several couples on this site that have proven it. If love can not pass the test of time it can not go the distance either. If not you could only love someone as long as they were within eye sight.

Long distance for me is over 20 minutes. I would not want to travel 20 minutes to be with the one I love. But that's just me. And long distance relationships may work for people but I do not agree with it. It just seems like it would be too much of a hassle.

I truely believe that long distance love can be the real thing. It's crazy to assume that the only person you could love will be within a certain number of miles, or for that matter a certain height, age, color, religion, etc, etc. I had a great relationship with a woman in Australia that ended due only to health issues. 12,500 miles is a long distance but what you'll find is that we are all so much more alike than we are different. Jump off the world and see where you land, the worst thing that could happen is to end up back where you started.
