Do You Think Long Distance Relationship Works Out?

What a great relationships question:

Question: Do You Think Long Distance Relationship Works Out?
Answer: My boyfriend is at university in Leeds, I'm at university in London, and living at home. We've only been together three months, and in 2.5 months we saw each other just three times. He is currently home in London (only until Saturday!!!), living just twenty-minutes from me. We love each other very much and are both dreading him going back to Leeds, since this means I will then not see him again until the end of June due to exams. However, we both know we have a strong relationship, built on trust. We were close friends for three and a half years prior to getting together, and so know each other very well.
If you have a solid foundation to begin with then it is possible. I'm not saying it's not hard - I'm going to miss him terribly - but I know it's not forever, and when I do see him it's magical. You just have to keep in touch very well - we text constantly, and talk on the phone and MSN.
I really hope this lasts forever, and I see no reason why it shouldn't with a bit of determination

Maybe just for a little while but eventually you need to come together to make it stronger

Not usually for the long haul.But it's fun to flirt and have phone sex. Too make it work forever you'll need to come together eventually.

NO WAY- they NEVER do. Been there and done that myself, and have had friends do the same- ALL FAILED.

Yes, it can but it needs strong and frequent communication and effort made to get together when you are able to do so.

It will work if you and your partner put forth effort to make it work.

obviously, it depends on the 2 ones.
so my answer to you is:
if you don't try it now, you'll never find out for yourself, and you'll remember that question for the rest of your days.

some people just found a stupid jerk that makes fun of you, some found the love of their lives. there really is no "mid-way", you have to try for yourself. just listen to your hart.

PS: UNFORTUNATELY, you can't read emotions from text, so your mind will interpret it according to your personality (if you're filled with hopes, you'll think that he really wants to be with you, and maybe he really does). in short: you'll have to meet him pretty soon, or at least talk on the phone, but meeting him is the best you could do. never-ending advice: meet him in public places, like a coffee shop. you know the rest of the casual advices, no need to repeat them. just making sure…
