What have you got to lose but a little time and petrol, also its good to get out of the village and spread the gene pool a little.
Was in an on/off long distance relationship with the current MrsC for a couple of years (6k miles) and it all worked out in the end.
My OH lived 90 miles away when we met. Dated for a couple of years then she upped her life and moved in with me. That was a couple of years ago. Got engaged this year and will get married next summer.
