How well do long distant relationships work out?

I just met this guy that I really like, and he seems to really like me too. But we live 3 hrs away from each other. So I was just wondering what you people think about how well that works.How well do long distant relationships work out?
I was in a 3000 mile [[opposite ends of the country]] relationship with my current boyfriend for a year. Pft... a 3 hour drive is nothing!





There's a lot of naive pessimism about this subject, but if both parties are determined to make it work, it can. It is all subjective to YOUR attitude about it and YOUR willingness to make that commitment.





A relationship's ability to survive depends on its ability to withstand various kinds of inevitable pressures that come. Pressures can be small things like disagreements, jealousy, and lack of communication or intimacy, or bigger things like money, kids, careers, school, etc. You see relationships that fail all the time under one of these pressures, no space between them. Distance, is just another kind of pressure that tests your relationship. Your physical proximity to each other has nothing to do with the success of you as a couple. Infact, making it through a long distance relationship makes you even stronger together, and more prepared to face future challenges together.





Also, think about this: If this guy is REALLY that great, then are you going to let a little driving time get in your way? Why settle for some other guy in your town just because he is close and convenient?





So if you want to give it a shot, go for it. And don't listen to the people who arbitrarily say that they ';just never work out.';How well do long distant relationships work out?
I was in a long distance relationship with someone, we were together for quite some time until I moved...





It really doesn't work out to well in the end, but then again we lived very far apart, and we couldn't drive to see each other...





But 3 hours away, it might be a little different as long as you see each other now and then.
Thats so easy. you guys can work out ways to make that work. I'm sure one of you have a car or some kind of transportation and you all can visit each other all of the time. I've been doing it for the longest. hope it works out for you! If you all are feeling each other the way you say are then it should work out.
if you really like each other.. it will work out.. but that's usually if you've been together for a long time. otherwise, its very risky and cheating is definitely a possibility without the other person knowing. there's just a lot of aspects to it that make it tricky. if you feel it, give it a shot but be careful
personally, i dont mean to bring you down or anything, but.... i can not handle long distance relationships.... i mean, im more than positive you could pull it off, just stay in touch... but personal opinion: trying to avoid them [its not working too well for me though...]


but, if you care about the person... im sure a long distance relationship isnt too bad... it just makes the time you do spend with eachother that much moe special...
you can make it last. my sister has a boyfriend in rhode island and she lives in new york and they have been together for 2 years and they have actually seen each other in person a few times. its true love
Im in one right now..and it's going to be nearly 2 years..and it's working out great..yeh the negetives are we don't see eachother often..but if a guy has a nice heart..anything can work out =]]
MOST of the time they dont work out becuase he isnt faithful. but the thing is have the two of u met in person and how well do u guys really know eachother/???
sorry to say they dont unless you visit, you just get busy with homework or work and you forget more and more until you loose his phone number thats what my girlfriend did until we remet
It's great at first, but if it goes longer than a couple of months you're screwed.
if you have money for gas then go for it if not then no also it takes alot of time
its not gonna last long.. unless you have no life and feel like driving back and forth everyday to keep things going.. sorry but id suggest finding someone a little closer =)
they work out like the TITANIC
