uhhh . . . just to be different, why bother? Be a practical romantic, and cherish the time you spent together (how long was it even?), reserve a small dusty room in your heart for him, and then meet and hang out with men within a couple area codes!

Yes you can make a long distance relationship work. You can even fixate on the person where the drama of the long distance makes the relationship more than it would be if you were present.

Like an internet crush or something, or the tradition of courtly love with letter writing.

But there will be pain, and there will be a LOt of absence where you have no one to be physically close to which is a key part of a relationship. Life can be lonely when the person you love is never around for a heart felt hug, and I dare say that phone and email are a poor substitute for that closeness.

Plus you have almost no time invested in this do you?

So I vote No! Or if you really like the comfort and pseudosecurity of it at least have the option of seeing others.

PS. From a guys point of view. We used to LOOK for the girls that had a long distance relationship. It would be like: Does she have a BF? Oh, how far away? And the farther away it was the easier it was to have an affair with her because often she was very lonely (for affection) and didn't even realize it.

But good luck.
