It's very doable but it can be a real pain in the dick sometimes. I'm a Canadian engaged to a Yankee and I haven't been able to see her for months because of Rona. We used to fly to see each other like once a month. But fuck it, go for it. Just be prepared to spend an inordinate amount of time on Skype calls. People that do well in long distance relationships tend to be independent, self-sufficient people.
You will want to communicate what your long term plan is. At some point someone's gotta move to the other person's country, so be sure to discuss that early on in your relationship.
Pro tip: You can watch movies/tv together on Skype (3...2...1...press play!), as well as cook dinner together (buy the same groceries for the same meal etc) and also read theory together if you're not libs loooool
About the watching stuff together online thing, I highly recommend a program called Syncplay--it's basically an add-on to VLC where you can create "rooms" and watch video files or Youtube videos together in sync. If someone pauses or fast forwards it'll do the same for everyone in the room, so you're always watching at the same place.
that sounds fucking rad thank you. I've tried similar things but always had such soul crushing lag that it didn't work (like zoom screen share or whatever)
