I'm thinking about this theoretcially... its not that theres someone I really wanna go out with who lives a long way away, just thinking about it. Well there kind of is.. anyway. Do you reckon long distance relationships ever work?
I was thinking, the fact that you dont see them much means that theres less temptaion to go too far... but then, it could be so intense that when you do see them, you get carried away anyway. And then theres the whole trust thing... I dunno. Do you think theres anything good about them?

Well I can say honestly I've been there done that.
And I liked to believe that for a little while it works, until the other person gets a gf/bf and then you are crushed. Atleast thats what happened to me. The good part about it is that, well .. you get to know them mentally better, and get to know who they really are, better than what they look like. I'm pretty sure if that when you met up with them, you wouldnt get carried away unless like all you talked about was sex or something. For me, the whole "trust" thing for that, didnt work out at all. He lied so many times, and it hurt my feelings a lot. But if you know and trust this person with your whole heart, and are willing to risk getting hurt, that I'd say its okay.

Here are what I think the pros & cons are about it:

PRO +
Get to know each other better, mentally.
Love their personality not their body
Always have enough space

CON -
Trust is always an issue.
You start to want physical contact
Kissing, hugging, holding hands etc.
Its not like normal dating,
when they live so far away.
