I am really starting to consider long distance relationships but I am needy and I do not know if I can handle it.

I met this girl online and I really like her, but she is far away, do long distance relationships work?

If you and your partner are currently thinking of doing long-distance for example, because you are moving away for school or work there are few things you should consider first. Can you afford to travel back and forth to see your partner? Do you get frustrated when you can’t get in touch with your partner for long periods of time? While the answers to these questions might not be relationship deal-breakers, they’re worth discussing at length with your partner before you decide that you’re ready for a long-distance relationship.
My husband Nick and I are no strangers to a long-distance relationship; and through trial and error, we figured out how to make our long-distance relationship work. We met in the Galapagos when I lived in New York and he lived in California. We never even lived together until we got married. Even now, three years married with a one-year-old son, we’re in different parts of the world for work about a third of the time. The time apart, the distance, makes our relationship better. I like having the time to miss him, to remember why I wanted to be with him in the first place.
