Frenzotic agony auntThey can turn out good if you both are realistic about the potential relationship/where it's going and make time to know each other outside of the online world.

Alot of the time many people lose sight at the fact the relationship they are building are built purely through online and that is not enough to know a person fully. You need to know them as a physical being, a real emotional being and see their true, face-value personality.

Yes LDR can work if you both are realistic and put effort into the relationship. Just to give you background information I've been with my other half for three years and hell we're not on opposite sides of the country but we're on different continents! Our relationship is going stronger than ever and he's soon to be moving and living over here.

What makes it work ever so well is that we have a laugh, we phone, talk online, make videocalls, text and try as much as possible to see each other and spend good quality time doing the things we both have a common interest in. Being in an LDR we've made the most of knowing each other on such an incredibly deep level that i truly believe I wouldn't have discovered if I was to know him in the flesh first.

So yeah, all in all my opinion is that if you guys put the effort in and truly want to make it work, it will work.

Good luck! =]

hameleon89 agony aunthi, i had a long distance relationship with my GF,i found her on facebook.We met, then separated for 9 months b/c of studies, and she waited and me too, and we live together for 3 years now.

One advice, don't go crazy, and one think helped me: don't think what is she/he doing right now, don't think with whom is she/he talking,flirting.Just be solid, think of the time when you'll meet him/her.

Good luck
