Do long distance relationships work? If so, what must be done to keep it going. Please help :'(

Well I too am in a long distance relationship! So let me start off によって saying it's not easy. Sorry if that was not the response あなた wanted but it is the truth I'm afraid. BUT! That doesn't mean that it can't work out though. My boyfriend is even in a different time zone so we don't get to talk as much as we would like but every time we do it feels like I fell in 愛 with him all over again. And that's really my アドバイス to you,all those special moments あなた do get to share with each other can only bring あなた closer. Try and video chat and text message send 写真 and even short 動画 to each other that's what we do! And let me tell あなた if あなた 愛 each other enough it does not matter the distance because あなた will always have one another! :)

It works but within the country not overseas but exceptions are always there if あなた 愛 someone truly then don't give up no matter how far she または her lives

well just ask ur self if its right, または make sure the person u 愛 is the right person there is creepy people out there. but for ur answer if u 愛 him または her never stop loving them and he または she will 愛 u back don't give up :D

I don't see why they couldn't, just try to avoid going international. I dated an Irish guy, and it went pretty well until he joined the RIRA and we had an argument about whether または not the IRA's facist-like nationalism is justified.
So, the different politics that come with an international relationship can be a problem.

I met my fiance online about five years 前 (Here on fanpop, actually) and he still lives a couple of states away. Despite the distance, we have a very stable and rewarding relationship and I wouldn't want to be with anyone else.

A big factor in any relationship, whether it be long distance または not, is building trust, love, and stability with the other person.
あなた have to know the other person well, and they have to know あなた well.

Secret-keeping should be kept to a minimum and あなた should be able to confide in the other person and care about them.

Establishing an emotional connection is vital for relationships. After all, why would あなた want to spend your life with someone あなた don't really like that much? Luckily, with today's technology, it's not difficult to form strong emotional relationships between distances.

For long distance relationships in particular, trust is absolutely necessary- the reasons why are fairly obvious.

It's also crucial to maintain contact with one another and talk often- not just once または twice a week. It can be easy to forget to communicate when あなた don't see each other daily. Look into video chatting software such as skype または facetime so あなた can see your significant other face-to-face (more または less) if あなた haven't already.

It's also important to visit each other in person if at all possible, again with obvious reason.

In short, a long distance relationship can work out just fine so long as it's a healthy relationship and so long as あなた want to/have the ability to put forth the required effort.

(Sorry for the long answer.)
