I'm currently dating a guy online, and we love each other to death. We have the same taste in everything, and we have so much in common. But the thing is I live in the United States and he lives in Portugal, and we won't be able to see each other for a while. We plan on talking in chat, video chatting, and talking on the phone until we finally get to be together. Can this work? And how can we keep our love strong despite being a long distance away?

it can work. watch movies together while on skype/msn etc, maybe start playing a online video game together, talk often, do cute little surprise messages

That all depends on how far you are willing to go to keep the relationship; are you willing to move to where this guy lives to be with him? I mean, you can't just live the rest of your lives together using webcams and keyboards to communicate; obviously you can't get married if you can't be together. So you need to think about what you are willing to do to be together, and if you aren't willing to compromise on the location you live together, then it isn't going to work out at all.

I'm now engaged with my fiance in South Korea... Long distance relationships do work, if you make them work. I'm in the Army. I met Alisha in Korea last year. We courted for 7 months. I proposed, and we were engaged. I have been in Texas now for 6 months and we are still going strong. We had a strong foundation to go on, and it works because we want it to work. Love is not a feeling. Love is an action. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8. Love is being patient, kind, forgiving, etc... These things are not easy. It takes effort. Now you have never seen him, and haven't dated him yet, so this makes things all that much harder. Also as a woman I would suggest that you are very careful with who you meet on the internet... It can work out though, don't be discouraged, just be informed, that it isn't easy and it won't always feel good. Good luck and I hope all works out for you, whatever you decide.
