    I feel anything is possible, yet nothing is probable. Cosign rarely with a side helping of highly doubtful. I wouldn't consider a 3 and a half hour drive a long distance relationship in out day and time. An inconvenient relationship which will eventually cause a problematic situation or 2.

    It's all about discipline and being able to afford it....

    It does have it's pros though. When she finally does see you again, all she wants to do is ? the whole visit. Maybe go out to eat then back to ? .

    I wouldn't start a relationship that was long distance. It's workable if it ends up that way over time, is temporary, and you already got that trust built.

    It didn't work for me. I ended one about a month and a half ago. Too much time apart plus the first of law school created too much of a strain. I don't regret trying though, she's a good woman, but one thing I've learned is that timing is everything. You could meet someone great, but it could simply be the wrong time to meet that person and get involved.

    With all that being said, I would not do another long distance relationship.

    In one now....gotta admit, it's hard. Currently a lopsided affair since I'll have to be the one traveling...and she's rarely off for me to make a weekend visit

    We talking a monogamous long distance relationship?

    I don't see it working for too long unless you have the means to see each other somewhat regularly.

    Only works if y'all have plans to eventually be In be same spot.
    Or if it started out local then moved away I could handle it.

    Otherwise you dont get to know the person. Most communication is non verbal. Talking on the phone and weekend visits, people not showing true colors

    This. I used to take two hour flights to be with a girl who I'd met whilst she was teaching abroad. Like everyone says, it only works if you're eventually going to be together permanently and on a marriage led basis. Otherwise, it's not worth it - plenty of cool af chicks in your area, and stops you from believing that X is meant to be, because she's so far away and you're so close to one another on a soul level etc... it's not worth getting that close to someone who's not real.

    7000 miles apart from my wife for 3 years, it works though, mostly because i'm too much of a catch for her to let go.

    They rarely work

    Could say that for most relationships in general....most relationships end at some point.

    They can work if the 2 people want it to. It takes extra effort, understanding and trust but it can be done

    1. Have money to be able to close the distance on a whim
    2. Don't be over a 3hr drive away
    3. After 12months she gotta move

    Only ways it works...unless you cool with being a cuckold

    3.5 hours ain't ? if you really wanna make it work. But with Long distance relationships - like most other things - ppl aren't realistic about what they can handle and what they can't.

    If you both evaluate what's important to
    You and decide you can deal with the distance and everything that comes with it, give it a shot.
