No one can say that long-distance relationships "never" work. Yes, I do believe that it's quite rare (especially in the early 20s), but it happens. If both of you have the resolve, the maturity, and are at the right time in your lives to make it work, it can happen. I think most of it comes down to circumstances and timing than anything... and a good dose of stubbornness, too.
As I said, ktspktsp and I are in our 5th year together, after 2 long years of long-distance, and 3 of our best couple friends are all still together and married. One couple lasted 3 years over the Atlantic ocean, seeing each other every 2-3 months (between Pennsylvania and Paris). They are married with a kid now, reunited after she finished her PhD.
That said, there's no shame in admitting what you don't want to do, period. We all have our limits. I don't think the LDR is worth it unless this is someone you see yourself marrying. It has to be that serious and committed to get through it, in my opinion.
