    do long distance relationships work?

    i have a friend that just so happens to b a girl we get on so well and have such a laff, we have been avoiding doin n e thing about our feelings as she lives 150miles away, the problem is we met up the other day and sort of confesed we had a thing 4 each other....


    ....so tell me do long distance relationships work, they say love concers all but i dunno if i should let my self get involved.

    *edit* please feel free to slap me for being a soppy git and posting this!

    U do appreciate your time together I also think it makes u appreciate the person more too and gives you experiences that u can learn from and that make u stronger if u can work through them

    You also need more trust and better communication

    We have a house in scotland and when a suitable job is available for ade we will be together until then just life as normal with our weekends

    Go For it, Nassin. I don't Know what age you are, and I will sound really old, but when you look back on life, Don't ever be in the situation of 'I wish I'd asked her out'.

    In the long term you only ever regret the things you didn't do. Give it a go.

    The worst thing that'll happen is that it's too hard and doesn't work out. The friendship's changed anyway now - once you've agreed there's an attraction there you've gotta do something about it.

    Go for it fella.

    If you know and feel in your own mind that this girl is right for you then do it!!

    The distance is a complete pain in the arse, as Cath has already said, we are 350 miles apart, we chat in the day, PM and email each other all day and then chat at night.

    But truthfully thats never gonna be as good as it is when your together. The one thing I look forward to is the Friday night when I know I will be setting off to be with her for the whole weekend

    But those weeknights when you get home from work, and the house is lonely, cause your fiancee is 35o miles away, that is a real heart wrencher

    Good luck with it tho Nassin, hope it all works out

    IMO they don't work, most of them fail. If you end up in a long distance relationship and you want it to last, one of you has to move asap, it's as simple as that.

    If you don't mind moving or she doesn't mind moving then go for it, but if you're the type of person that doesn't like the thought of upping your roots and going elsewhere then forget about her - there's plenty of females that live locally, you just need to get out there and look

    mixed responses

    i personally think if you are secure within yourself and they are secure - u have trust and u actually love each other - than it will work no matter what

    loss of any of these factors can mean a break down in the relathionship

    also outside influences can be a pain
