Distant relationships

Okay everyone claims that long distant relationships do not work out. I want to get serious with this kid but im not sure because there are downfalls. What is your opinion on long distant relationships? What should I do?

Well I'm in a long distant relationship right now my boyfriend lives in Louisiana and I live in Texas we have our ups an downs but if your truely commited to this person it could work out. Me and my man have been together for almost a year now it will be a year on july 27. I see him maybe every 3 months. Sometimes more often than that. I think you should give it a chance you will never know if it will work out unless you give it a chance.

speaking from personal  experience I can tell you it truly depends! If you already established in this relationship and been together for awhile then yes they can work just fine but new relationships I've never seen last, work or anything you don't have anything to build off and they're bonding more with people in their life there with them not over text or phone with you! But it's a personal decision you make cause you know him and you better!
