but there would still be doubt about your partner being unfaithful

I don't mind LD relationship, I want to date someone outside my country. Mixed cultures, mixed kids, more thrill

I spent 2 years in an LDR that began here on Mingle. Back then, my situation allowed me to feel that the distance would only be short-term hindrance. But now....I'm don't feel that my personal situation can afford me such a luxury. In a LDR, at least one side needs to be prepared to make some sacrifices. If both are serious, at some point somebody is going to have to pack up their belongings and move closer to the other. Before then, to make it work will require at least occasional visits. The longer the couple goes without seeing each other in person, the less likely the relationship will be a success. Currently, my situation does not allow me to be that guy. It would be unfair of me to ask a woman to take on those burdens instead. If she were to do so on her own....well, I'll deal with that when and if it ever comes up. I have also been in a LDR for a year and two months now and it all started here on mingle. Even though I would say its fun from beginning,its heartbreaking sometimes knowing you wouldnt have to spend time together. All you depend on is texting and video calls.... But you did well to still be in a long distance relationship for two years.

long distance relationships work if you really prefer your own private time and do not want to proceed to any commitment

In my experience those that want to long-distance relationship and are not in a huge hurry to meet after getting to know each other a little bit or not to truly serious they just want somebody that they can feel like needs or wants them similar to cat fishing I would say that until you meet up you cannot know if either one of you want to start a Long Distance Relationship, before you meet up it's more about friendship than a relationship, so not that much more than penpals in my opinion, but with a view to something more. I agree that those whom always put off meeting up could be cat fishing for the reasons you mention here.

sometimes those who are farthest are the ones closest in our hearts...distance makes the heart grow fonder

long distance relationship is real, and it requires patients. the honest truth is that it is base on trust, sincerity and honesty.

it also requires a concerted effort to make the ld part go away. otherwise it is just a friendship

i think we would work for awhile, but I think eventually two people have to get together And I think relationships can work in any situation if both partner are truly committed to each other.
