My relationship of about 5 years now, getting married in April, started as a long distance relationship. We were about 300 miles away, and it started with a trip down to her city with a friend of hers.
I actually think the long distance helped us build a more solid foundation for our relationship. It allowed us to talk quite a bit, and prevented sex from clouding the beginning. We saw each other I'd say every 3 weeks on average for about a year before I moved down there.
As long as you're both committed, it can work to your advantage. As mentioned before, communication is key and a phone call a week won't cut it. I spent roughly 3000 mins a month on the phone with her (this was pre-cheap cell service, $500 bills...) and we learned a lot about each other.
