text: If you are in a long distance relationship, it can be very trying.  If the couple can be honest and loyal- it could work, but it seems that distance can make a person think lying is a better option, because they figure "who will find out?"  Ultimately, the whole point of a relationship is to be together, so unless the couple commits to moving or something- I wouldnt recommend starting one up.  It can really mess you up.\n\nOn the other hand if you meet someone far away, it can give you a chance to get to know a lot about each other before you meet face to face- could be good, or bad.  BUT long distance relationships will never last, because togetherness is the goal. Unless thats the KIND of relationship you BOTH want. Eventually someone will have to move closer, or forget about it!  If you move closer together it isnt a long distance relationship anymore, so whether you get together or not- the "long distance" relationship has to eventually end. ;)
