Personally I think it is not a good idea.
You might find it ok for a while but in the end you will realise that it just isnt working, you have to be able to have permanent contact with the person at all times I think.

In short, no.
My ex moved up to Queensland, and we decided to end it before she left, as we didn't want the situation to come up. Sure, it hurt, but it would have hurt more not knowing what was happening or not being able to see her and what not.
Not worth the time or pain.

It all depends on the type of relationships you like to be part of. If you're the type of person who likes to spend a lot of time with your partner - then no. However, if you treat your relationship as being complimentary to your life (ie have other interests which you like to put time into - without your partner) I have seen it work just fine.
Another consideration is whether either of you have plans to move to the others country. There's not much point in persuing a relationship if neither party has any plan of you both coming together at some stage.

Pffffffffffftttt to all you nay-sayers.
I'm in a long-distance thing and it's going just fine, thank you very much. Eventually I'd like us to live together, but I'm not going to worry about it now. Obviously it's not easy, though I think it depends on what you're like as a social animal. I enjoy having space and time to myself, and this gives me plenty ;-) We see each other every 3-6 weeks usually (for extended periods over holidays and whatnot). Remember.. you don't get the chance to get sick of anyone this way
Everyone's going to be different and you won't know if it's going to work for you until you try it. Better to have loved and lost etc etc etc.
In conclusion.. It depends.

Yep, agree with Sly here. For all that it is, a LDR is only ever going to be a TEMPORARY thing.
Avoid, avoid, avoid.
Don't do it man, not unless you're planning to be together very soon. It rarely works.

I think it depends on the person, and on the relationship, and what you want. It HAS to be a temporary thing IMO. Like seeing each other regularly (couple of times a month) or having definite plans to be together SOON. That's just my opinion.

I've been waiting for Jacs to have her say on this thread
No Rob, it would cause too much angst for both parties, IMHO.

Can work.
Often doesn't.
She better be pretty special, and even more to the point, she better think you are pretty special!
Good luck!

I wouldn't try it.
My cousin went out with girl. They didn't see each other for two weeks. She sent him a message saying. "I dont think that we should go out. We are growing apart"
Rubbish.

Yeah I agree. It CAN work, just not stupid internet relationships.

BZZZZZZTTTT!
Disagree. Met my girlfriend on a chat room (cheesy huh!?). We've been going out for 3.5 years now (5.5 years since we first "met").. I'm in Sydney and she's in Geelong.
I realise that my case may be the exception though....

The only time it can work IMO, is when you have no preconceptions about somoene and u meet them IRL then hit it off. If you think you're in love with someone you haven't met, forget it.
