The average long distance relationship last to about 6 months, up to a year. Thats not to say that a long distance relationship wont work!

If you really like him, and he really likes you and you guys are willing to love, care, trust, and be patent than I think it will work out.

I think there are 2 main factors to a long distance relationship (from past experience):

Trust - If you don't trust him, and he doesn't trust you (no matter how big or how small), then you might as well say goodbye to the long distance relationship. If you do trust him, you need to trust that he wont cheat, and that he wont do anything he told you he wouldn't do (remember, you aren't able to tell if he is or not - you wont be with him much).

Effort / attraction - This is hard to keep due to you not being able to see him much. Attraction will be hard to keep up on both sides since you guys aren't able to be with each other often, cuddle alot, kiss, share other physical actions. In a LDR it is sometimes easy to loose attraction. You both need to put in effort - otherwise it wont work. If you find yourself putting in alot more effort than him (Texting him first all the time, him giving 1 word answers, etc) then the relationship probably wont last. The effort needs to be equal and alot of it needs to be involved in a LDR.

Best wishes,
