Can a long distance love survive? There can be problems but also big payoffs to dating a dude in a different area code. (Dating And Relating Debate).
Recently, California resident Gwen Stefani and Londoner Gavin Rossdale tied the knot, proving that an overseas romance can materialize into something serious. The two met backstage at a Los Angeles concert in December 1995 and went back and forth between Stefani's Hollywood home and Rossdale's London pad during their on-again, off-again relationship. So we asked Cosmo readers, do you think a long-distance romance is a good idea? Or are the chances of its thriving too slim?
YES: love can go the distance

"Communicating desires and relationship goals is key. My fiance and I were 400 miles apart for the first 10 months of our relationship yet maintained our love through technology--E-mail, Instant Messenger, phone calls--and now that we're together, we know our efforts were worth it."--Katherine, 25
"If you are truly in love and can trust your partner, it does not matter where each of you lives. And from experience, I've learned that time apart makes for one hot emotional welcome home."--Laura, 21
"Long-distance dating can make a relationship stronger and more exciting. When you're together, you know you only have so much time before one of you leaves, so you make the most of it. When apart, distance grants you the space and time needed for individual growth."--Tracy, 30
