Do you think long-distance relationships will work out in the long run?

So this guy and I are not in a relationship at the moment but this question is if we become official. He found me on Instagram and added me and liked a few of my pictures and commented “ pretty little thing 🦋”. We have been messaging each other for a couple of days now and I'm really getting to know him and I'm starting to really like him. He is starting to get a little more flirty in the messages but nothing sexual. He is 3 years older than me and more mature than the guys my age. The problem is that he is across the country. I'm in Florida and he is in California. He was asking if I had any fun things planned tonight and I said not around here. He stated I could go see him and he would take me on dates. Again he never said anything sexual. I'm here overthinking if this is moving too fast or if I'm just being dramatic. I've never been to California and that would be nice to visit there but I think I would definitely have to get to know him more before I visit him. We so far only text on Instagram. We haven't called each other or video chatted. He has been asking lots of questions to try to get to know me. Any advice would be helpful and thanks in advance.

I don’t think long distance relationships work out 99% of the time, and I’ve experienced enough of them to not bother anymore. IRL relationships are significantly easier. With long distance comes an increase of how likely your partner is to cheat since they’re not receiving physical attention, you’re more likely to get bored of each other because all there is to do is talk - you can’t go anywhere together.

They can also be dangerous if you don’t actually know who is on the other side of the screen. If you’ve never video chatted, how do you know he is who he says he is? DO NOT visit him unless you're 100% certain of who he is.

Yeah, I know the world is crazy out there and I would never just visit someone I don't truly know.

Update: he was a fake.

I have several long-distance relationships. The only issue is that it is difficult to discipline someone without being physically close to them. However the same principles apply: worship me as your Lord and Master, ask for permission to stimulate your genitals, and hold an image of me in your mind when you climax so that your orgasm can remain eternal in my holy name.

depends on how long you were together before the distance became a factor, and also if you have a firm date/plan on when it will no longer be a factor

Yes they can work out, but the odds are against you.
