Can long distance relationships really work? I've never even been in one, and I'm very doubtful...but curious :)

They can. Its not easy, but if the trust and feelings are there two people can make it work.

Well it depends on how well-endowed the guy is, i guess. If pro-creation was on the cards, it could possibly be sent through the post. A self-sealing envelope, as it were :)

But seriously, its a big ask. At first all is well, but i think that feelings cant be sustained without one of the most important aspects of a relatonship ; physical contact, whatever form it may take. For me online and phone line just isnt quite enough. And speaking of trust, without actually meeting the person, how can i be sure my sweetheart isnt a 71yo male croation taxi driver from the bronx?

@OzzyOzborn: webcam with microphone. If you're having a live conversation with them you'll soon spot the wrinkles. I married from a long distance relationship. Spent a number of years in illinois until she cheated on me and attempted to get me deported so she could keep everything instead of half each. Bitch lol. Not exactly arguing my case well now i come to think of it. It can work and you can bridge the distance, what happens after that is anyones guess just like any relationship.

I think it can work,its up to the two involved to make it.though there r many liers out there,jus b careful cz u might fall for a total fake

Well i think it will work if there is a webcam and a mic for live video chat

It will, just have trust,love n c0nstant c0mmunicati0n. i've been 0nce n took 7years.

Distance is only a number. if 2 people want it bad enough they can make it work till they can be together. it takes 2 to make it work not just 1.

@JCSMTG:
Yes you're right!
