It can work, but how many of those really do? I would imagine it's a pretty small percentage. If you live at a distance where you're never going to be around each other, that makes it even less likely to work out. I can't really say that it's a good idea or a bad idea though; people have to decide on their own who is or isn't worth taking a chance on.
I personally wouldn't. If you know the two of you are going to be moving further a part it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to say, "It was great when we saw each other a lot, but now that we see each other less, let's start dating." Just sounds weird, you know? I do think long distance relationships can work, but only if both people are dedicated, and you can see a scenario where if things progress, one of you can move where the other is, or you both can move somewhere together. Moving apart right off the bat though just seems to kind of defeat that purpose.

Depends on how long apart you'll be. And how often you'll get to see each other on visits. The bigge those two gaps the less likely it will work. Distance is t always the issue, but more of the circumstances surrounding the distance. But I would think going from being near each other to moving apart then trying to form a relationship would be challenging. Harder than meeting each other living apart.
Thank you for the answers. I can see in my situation we would be apart for at least four months but I have no choice where to be posted but he could work near were i ambut it's up to him. If he wants to start a relationship we would have to consider these things and reach a decision before we do. He knows I'm going but unfortunately the chemistry doesn't lol. I don't want to lose his friendship though.
Friends have just got married after being together for six years. Three years of the relationship was long distance. They started their relationship the day before she left for Saudia Arabia, where her mum was going to become a teacher. During the first three years while their relationship he became a Christian, subsequently she became a Christian. She returned to the UK to go to uni and they got married this summer. It definately can work. All I can suggest is praying about it and seek God's will.
