Is it at all possible that a relationship that starts out long distance, can work? For instance, if a guy and girl are interested in each other, but live 3 hours apart, but the girl is planning on moving 3 hours from home (but not to the same town as him), can a relationship work for them?
LDRs almost never work. Even if the woman is into you, it's too easy for another guy to come along and give her the emotions and contact that she's missing by not being with you. Basically if you're not able to regularly remind her of why she's with you, both emotionally AND physically, then you're not likely to work out.
If she doesn't have contact with men on a regular basis though, then you may have a chance. But if she goes out with friends on the weekends, or has guys in the office that like her, nope, not gonna make it.
It depends on a lot of things, but the most important is the level of vulnerability they are willing to expose themselves to with each other. If they are willing to let their spirits interact directly, with God's help, through prayer, honest communication and integrity, then it has a chance. Otherwise, it is possible, but not probable that it might work.
If you two communicate and care about each other enough, you could be across the world from each other and make it work. It just depends on the intensity of the feelings and communication.
When paranoia finally sets in and you wonder why it takes him so long to get back to you for anything then you will begin to realize this can't possibly work.
In my experience yes. I was in a long-distance relationship that worked excellently and still does work. We are moving closer soon though. It's all about making time for each other and communicating well. These are the things you'd do anyway even if you lived close! I guess it's all dependent on the people involved.
It's possible. Me and my now fiance were apart for a couple of months. It took a lot of creativity on our parts but it really proved to us how strong we are.
It is possible for it to work no matter how far way you 2 are as long as you get to see each other from time to time and have a deep understanding of the situation with honesty,love,compromise and talk of the future of you 2 being together among other things it's sure to work. I have witness it the 2 people are now getting married after 9 years! You will have ups and downs and thoughts of ending the relationship it may even end but if it's truly love nothing can keep you apart.
It has never worked for me, but I do know one set of people that it did work for. They lived 4 hours away from each other. The met one night when he was in her town for something to do with his family. They started talking and shortly after started dating. They lived 4 hours away from each other for almost 3 years. At that point they decided to move together. They actually picked a town that was half way between both of them so neither would be too far away from "home." But they are the only ones I've ever known for it to work for. But they do give hope that it can.
