Is a long distance relationship ever a good idea?

[Samuel]

Mehh I guess their ok tbf. I had one, I'm from the UK and I went out with a girl from Canada. She was awesomeeee but after a while I found it really hard cause I couldn't see her properly or anything and it got kind of pathetic so I thought it would be best to just leave her which I did and I tried to stay friends with her but after kind of liking her a lot it seemed silly.
I guess it would work if later on in life you know that's the person you want to be with, because then you can move nearer to where they live or they move near to you and then you start a solid relationship. You have to be able to trust them 100% as well, cause for all you know they could be smashing other boys and you wouldn't have a clue. On the other hand if it works out then it's awesome.
I really suggest you watch some Youtube videos. Type in 'long distance relationships' and when you see the expression on peoples face when they meet for the first time and how they act towards each other it's like aww.
It all depends what you want from a relationship though. One of the other reasons I went out with that girl from Canada is because I really want to migrate there when I'm around 23 and then how she seemed so cool and just awesome it all kind of fell into place
