Seriously, though, I'm not a big fan. Granted, my example isn't the best, but I just think it's hard to stay in love with the right person when you're doing the long distance thing.
The problem I've had both times I've tried to do it is that even with constant phone calls, e-mails and IMs, people change in ways that you're just not around to see. Sometimes it's something major, sometimes just a tiny detail. I find that because I'm not actively around the person all the time, when I finally see the person again, it's almost like I'm talking to someone I don't know. The longer span of time, the worse this gets and eventually you find you don't really know or understand the person you think you're in love with.
Obviously this isn't true for everyone, but it's been my (somewhat limited) experience in the matter. I think I'm going to avoid them for now.
