Does distance matter in a relationship?

En mi humilde opinión no creo que importe, siempre y cuando los dos estén de acuerdo en llevar una relación a distancia. Si esto funciona, tarde o temprano se conocerán en persona, Suerte ;)

In all honesty, unless you were first in a person to person relationship, the chances are high that it will not work. Being around a person physically allows you to see them, hear them, and smell them. these may seem like small things and they are a big part of attraction. Even if a person is the best personality, chances are the subconscious doubt that you will meet up may cause a strain on your relationship, especially if you encounter somebody who you like in person. Loyalty begins to fight against your other feelings and that is not good for one's psyche.

If you knew each other in person, then it should be fine as long as you will see each other again sometime.
