Long distance relationships are as special as any other relationship, however they come with the added baggage of being far from the respective partners, and that too by considerable distance. The traditional definition for a long distance relationship accounts to that 'intimate relationship in which the partners are separated over long distances'. This definition actually comes to being a lot more than merely their literal translation, as there are several aspects that one needs to think about, before committing themselves to a long distance relationship.
Long distance dating is manageable if you've got the right mentality for it, but it can still have its ups and downs, regardless of how strong you and your partner may be.
Before I get into how one manages a long distance relationship, I'd like to first say that these are not for everyone; some people simply aren't made to cope with such things, and there is nothing wrong with that.
If you're not made for long distance relationships, it's easy enough to avoid having one. If you are made for them, it's important you realize they're only meant to be a temporary fix -- your long term relationship goal should not be that of a long distance relationship! If all you want is someone to chat to over the phone and by email you can get that easily enough in the penpal section of your local paper.
