Can long-distance relationships REALLY work out when you're young?
I've been dating this guy for a month now but he lives 3 hours away from where I live. He seems like a really nice guy but the long distance is making me nervous because everybody says it can't work out. We're both pretty young still (15 & 16) and so it makes me feel hopeless and, like...why am I even trying to be a good girlfriend, right? I don't know what to think right now. Is it possible for a long-distance relationship to really stand the test of time? Should I stick with this relationship or is it best if I move on to somebody closer to where I live?

I was in a long distance at age 16 and now a year later we're still together. We're only a bit older than you (i'm 17, he's 19) we take turns visiting each other over our school breaks by train or we get rides from friends or family. We live a good 6 hours apart. Anyways, if you feel really strong about this guy then don't let him go because of distance. Try it out for a while. But if it's making you feel hopeless then it's probably not the right kind of relationship for you. You're young, this is probably not the last guy you'll ever like, so don't stress out about it too bad!

this is hard.the thing is that it depends on the person. if you really wnat it to work out and really want to be with that person and no one else then it can work but you both have to want this not just you.
i have a friend that had an overseas relationship with this guy that she had never met in real life.they only talked on the phone,msn,facebook,went on cam etc and a year later of being together like that he actually moved accross the world to be with her and now theyr still together!things like this dont happen enough but it can happen.things can work out but you both have to wnat it.
you have to try first before you can give up otherwise you cant say you tried.
hope i helped

The chances of a long distant relationship working out are very very low. Especially at your age and I will tell you why.
You and your boyfriend don't drive (I'm assuming) If you two DID drive, 3 hours is a hell of a ways to go to spend time with your spouse frequently. Despite you being faithful, God only knows if HE really is. You are going by your gut feeling and what he says but people can change in the drop of a dime and not everyone is faithful. Never mind the fact that you both are very young and I highly doubt he is going to want to be tied down with you for the rest of his life. Not be harsh, But at 15 guys are still in the early stage of dating, Getting to know what a relationship is and exploring new things. You can try to work it out but I really think your best bet is to focus on boys that are in your area. Not only will it be a hell of a hassle to see him frequently...but it will cause stress on the relationship and traveling can be very costly.
