Long distance relationships can work, right?
I recently met the most amazing man but I live in Anchorage, Alaska and he lives in Fairbanks, Alaska. Its around 400 miles and a 6 hour drive in good weather, but it just feels like he is my prince charming! and he travels here frequently for work and play already.... any suggestions for me?

Wrong. Don't waste your time and his.
Answer 2 :
Long distance relationships work if both parties put effort into it. He travels to see you so he obviously cares for you as well. So hold onto to him and see how it goes. Try to make visits to him as well so he doesn't feel like he's doing all the work.
Answer 3 :
of course it can work.
Answer 4 :
Yes, and I think with new technology (Video Skype, etc) even more so these day, if not texting. However you need to go beyond that with the newest tech: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teledildonics
Answer 5 :
yeah it can work,,,u just have to have a lot of Trust to make it work in my opinion.

Okay, well if he's traveling to Anchorage frequently you're already off to a good start. The hardest part can be working a visit schedule. Long distance relationships are hard, but they can also be a lot of fun. Make sure to trust each other and always assume that the other person is acting in good faith. In a long distance relationship, if you freak out every time the other person doesn't answer their phone, you're not going to last for long. But if something serious is bothering you, don't hold it inside. This is good advice for any relationship, but in LDRs there can easily be a tendency to suppress feelings and table sharing them until you can see each other in person. If you bottle things up like that, it is bound to explode at some point. If you don't have webcams, get some and sign up for a free video chat site (http://www.6rounds.com/ is a pretty good one). Talking and texting can be expensive and can lead to more miscommunications than a face-to-face convo. Plus, it's more intimate.
