Yes they can, provided that both sides remain faithful, right now i have full trust and love in my boyfriend in another country. and they will work, exept just if one decides to cheat it can get into a big mess. I cant wait to see my boyfriend, and i know i can trust him in wat he says, after all i love him for who he is, not for looks, even though he is hot...

Yes if you've actually met the person in real life and then you decide to have that relationship over a distance. You can make it work if you try to. My mom is in a long distance relationship right now. She met the guy and then they kept in contact for a while an then decided to start dating, although it was long distance. They get together regularly and still meet. My cousin who's in the marines is in a long distance relationship. Actually, he's engaged even though they haven't spent much time together.

No, online relationships do not work. Unless you meet the person offline, you never know if the person you are talking to is telling the truth. I was in one a month back. I talked to the girl on the phone. She had this whole long story and everything made sense. I thought my feelings for her were true. None of you can imagine how much I felt that she was true. Anyways, in the end, she resulted in being a MPD (multiple personality disorder). She had several different usernames on AllPoetry and was actually "dating" several of the guys on there (who happened to be my friend). She had a different story, different personality, and even a different tone of voice for each personality.

Believe me or don't. There can never be a full level of trust with online relationships, even if you talk on the phone and she/he shows you the picture. This girl who I was with for like a month did have some pictures, several infact. Yet still, in the end, she ended up being a fake and a lier.

my motto is Anything is possible...and it's true, anything is possible, especially a long distance relationship. you don't have to have met the person first, but it would help. long distance relationships like that are based on talking more than the physical side of the relationship, which means the people in the relationship will know each other better. I'm in a long distance relationship right now, with a girl that is two states away...i've known her for two years, been in the relationship for almost a year and a half, i'm going up to see her this summer and i can't wait.

My opinion is maybe they do dependin on the two people in the relationship if they click you know have that vibe together!!! And finally my last question how do you have trust in a relationship when your mate is so far away??

distance is a big thing. there is a huge amount of responsibility in maintaing distance relationships. trut, honesty, love, etc. most people cant handle the things that these types of relationships require.

distance can be a good and bad thing. while it displays and develops good trusting skills its also very stressful. constant worrying about the significant other, other closer possible relationships, not being able to physically see eachother.

online relationships are often bad ideas. like a few people said before, people tend not to tell the whole truth about themselves. personally, ive tried online relationships and have found that they last for a short time before both parties get too frustrated and break up. however, real feelings can be developed in online relationships as anything is possible and love can be found no matter where the other person lives. i know someone whose been in a relationship online for awhile now and the two are about to meet eachother offline. they know... or think they know, that their feelings are in fact true love.

unless a person is disciplined so to speak and patient id advise against distance and online relationships.

i met a guy on Warcraft about 2 years ago...we fell in love in three days (we didnt slee much cause we were constantly online talkign and on the phone by the end of three dyas we knew everyting thing about your back grounds that could possibly be known.) and we daed for aorund 7 months...in that time i did go out with other guys phycialy but in my heart and soul i was his...and we finaly broke up...not because of anger or untrustworthyness (wow bg word) but because we no longer had the time to stay connected(and the phone bill was HUGE) but we still send the occasional (about once a week) and we call each other for prsonal problems. hes always been there for me and i will always be there for him...so i feel that yes they do wor..better than any of my physical ones ever ahve.

I believe it doesnt work and if it has, they has been disloyal between the two. When ya'll get together that person feels so uncomfortible that they really do not talk and all the honesty to that person turns into more lies after that. It causes relationships to break up. You really dont know who's down there at that time or what they were doing when you called. THe again, that's when trust comes in the picture. If ya'll in love you'll have to have trust for one another, but usually long distance relationships dont work.
