Hey Omicron162,
I have a pretty good story about a long distance relationship. First, they can work, I'm living proof they do.

I met this guy named Justin about 2 summers ago. We we're both 18 and on vaction with our families. I fell madly in love with him in one week..I know hard to believe. Well, I came to find out that he lived in Ohio, where I lived in Georgia...about 9 hours difference. Okay to make a long story short, we're still together and planning on get married one day. He's thinking about coming down to Georgia to finish his schooling. I have only seen him 5 times since we first met, but its one of those things where you know hes the right one!
The only kind of advice I can give you is to stick with it as long as you love him. I thank God everyday for meeting Justin. He is the love of my life and I couldn't be happier. You have to have trust and be able to deal with the fact they are far away. But love conquers everything!! Good luck!!
