oh well I say it would depend on the two people involved and there willingness to a high level of committment. it's hard to be far away from someone you love and care about, eventually someone would have to relocate or it may not last after that..

It wouldn't work. If you are in a relationship with someone, that requires the 2 of you spending time with one another. For a relationship to grow, you both have to be there for each other, physically and emotionally. How can you have a relationship with someone if you can't even physically be there with them/for them? Talking on the phone is not enough. Now if you were in a relationship with someone locally and that person had to move far away, then I think, depending on how long you both were in the relationship, that you should continue the relationship long distance. But of course only if you both thought the two of you would reunite again in the future.

I had a long term relationship. I knew her before, but never traveled in the same circles. After my divorce I asked her out. The dinner date was sort of quiet. Neither of us said much. Guess we weren't very good daters. Anyway, there was something about her. We lived 175 miles apart. But, we did manage to get together for a couple days in a row every two weeks. One time she would journey my direction and the next time I would journey in her direction. And a few times we met halfway for just a day together. This went on for a little over a year. I proposed to her, and she moved in with me. This happened to be one of the best things I ever did. Unfortunately she passed away three years ago. I would have to say now, however, that I wouldn't really want to get into this situation again. I would much rather have her close to me. Like, it doesn't make sense to drive 175 miles to go for coffee. Nor does it make good sense that one would drive 175 miles to help somebody weed their garden. And a whole host of other things.

DRBLACKBIRD: This is because american women are too sexually promiscuous and they are too stubborn to recognize this or maybe they don't mind cheapening themselves as their independence dictates that they can do what ever they damn well please regardless the consequences

 I have had a few long distance(150 miles and less). The continious travel made it difficult for everyone. It is exteremly hard to just go over for dinner or just seeing a movie. I have found that distance of no more than 50 miles can kill a relationship unless you are a born road warrior and I am not a road warrior. If two people are serious about each other they better move closer and moving can be a serious commitment in its self. It all boils down to the two people involved.
Lots of Luck

DRBLACKBIRD...........do you think this kind of woman bashing is going to get you a date? Not all women are this way and not just American women..........if you hate american women so badly get off of the dating site and buy a mail order bride. You can make her anything you want her to be. Sorry....but sleeping with multiply partners and infidelity are not just a female trait. Several men can't keep there penis in there pants to make a long distance relationship work.
I personally am in a long distance relationship and couldn't love him anymore than if he was right here with me. Yes, we are working on making it that way, but for right now it is great and loving. I don't need the person to be within a certain amount of miles to be faithful. Not everyone needs to have someone close to keep their pants up. JMO
