Perhaps Alice and Bob started out dating while they lived close together and one had to move away (at least far enough away where they can't see each other in person on a regular basis); perhaps they began the relationship through the mail (or, in more modern stories, over the Internet) and never met in real life at all (but may be planning to at some point). Due to Rule of Drama, a story that has a long-distance relationship often deals with its pitfalls, the #1 being that Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder. If they've promised to reunite but one party takes his / her (generally his) time, it may result in I Will Wait for You; if outside pressures force the waiting party to be with someone else, this then becomes You Have Waited Long Enough. For when someone pretends they have a long-distance relationship as a transparent cover-up for actually being single, that's Girlfriend in Canada. If the person has met their love-to-be online, and never met yet in person, there's a small risk that they are being romance-scammed by a catfisher. |

In Continuance, Souji Setanote What the main character's called in the manga and Yukiko Amagi have been in one since Souji went back home at the end of Persona 4, and continue doing so after they are accepted to separate schools.

Franco De Vita: The theme of "Golpeando en el mismo lugar" (Punching In The Same Spot) and "Te recordaré" (I'll Remember You), portrayed in opposite ways. Both songs tell about two lovers who must part ways, but the former is a defeatist take where Franco clearly laments the parting, and is bound to suffer over the lack of close interaction with his partner; in the latter, while he's still sad over the parting, he's far more optimistic in that the two will reunite someday, and in the meantime he'll always cherish the moments they've spent together and think of her in every opportunity. | |

Happens several times on Parks and Recreation: Ben takes a temporary job in D.C., leaving Leslie behind in Pawnee. In addition, he takes April with him as his intern, so she spends several months apart from her husband Andy. Leslie and Andy send the pair a care package: Leslie sends Ben twenty boxes, and Andy sends April his laundry. Andy takes a job in London for several months while April remains in Pawnee. They know it will be ok because they already did the long-distance relationship before. |

Check, Please!: During Year 3, Bitty and Jack are dating, but while Bitty still lives in the Haus, Jack moves to Boston. This is less of a problem compared to others, since they're only a few hours away at most when Jack isn't on the road to play. The real burden in their relationship ends up being the secrecy rather than the distance. | |

Asteroid in Love: While eventually, it's just With a Foot on the Bus, in Episode 8/Chapter 27 Ao revealed her family's plan to move out of town. To some of the cast (especially Moe), this trope is barely prevented for Ao and Mira; the "emergency meeting" the Earth Sciences Club had over it is more like brainstorming for ideas on how to maintain a long-distance relationship, to the point Moe suggested taking turns to be each other's "weekend commuter wife".note Rejected as too expensive. | |

In some romantic endings from Fire Emblem, one half of a support-built couple goes back to his/her land of origin, but the other one visits them once in a while, and after some time they get officially together. Some of them are: Blazing Blade: Sain/Fiora, Kent/either Fiora or Farina, Erk/Serra, and maybe Lyn/Florina if you ship them. Sacred Stones: Ephraim/either Tana or L'Arachel, Eirika/either Saleh or Innes, Forde/Vanessa, Innes/L'Arachel, and Kyle/Syrene. |

The Tantei Team KZ Jiken Note series: For Aya and Sunahara, that's already an improvement, as the last time Sunahara appears in The Egg Hamburg Steak Knows the entire set up looks more like a case of Star-Crossed Lovers. The Valentine Knows ends with the relation between Aya and Sunahara improved to this. It is more than clear that Aya and Sunahara love each other, and they have mutually confessed in this arc. However, Sunahara's brush with the Japanese Delinquents seriously bruised his reputation in town, so he declared But Now I Must Go. Although he promised to meet each other. Sunahara pretty much Commutes On A Bus, but he does come back once every few novels. | |

From the Honorverse, Eloise Pritchart and Javier Giscard, in the wake of the Theisman coup that restores the old Republic; she is stuck in Nouveau Paris being the President, while he's commanding naval forces to subdue rogue State Sec elements. It doesn't put much of a strain on their relationship, but the desperation with which they miss each other definitely takes a toll on them personally. | |

The Tokimeki Memorial series has a couple of examples of this, most notably with Kaedeko Sakura in Tokimeki Memorial 2 and Chiharu Aoki in Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1. Due to the series' alignment to the far end of the idealism's side of the Sliding Scale and its extremely strong Power of Love theme, they always work out in the end. | |

On Isabella’s romantic path in Melody, the protagonist can choose this arrangement when Isabella confesses that she can’t stop thinking about their one-night stand. At the beginning, this is justified, as Isabella’s job as a flight attendant means that she can occasionally spend the night with him despite the distance. However, within a few weeks, Isabella starts training to fly internationally, meaning that she and the protagonist will have to stay apart for a long time. Staying with her notwithstanding is the only way to end up with Isabella at the end of the story. | |

In Persona 4 and Persona 5, any relationship your character has will become this after the events of the game, since your character ends up having to go home- it helps that in the latter case, Makoto and Haru are also graduating high school. That said, the characters' respective girlfriends aren't fazed by this, particularly because in the latter case, the character had been incarcerated in juvenile hall for almost two months, giving them some idea of what it's like to be apart. | |

This is respectively defied and downplayed with two different couples in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: The reason Tsubame gives for turning down Ishigami after the Christmas party is because she's graduating and going away to college in three months. She doesn't feel that such a relationship would work out in the long run. It's worth pointing out that she is lying about this and just using it as a cover for her Commitment Issues (since the college is less than half an hour away by train and she already told Kaguya in an earlier chapter that such an excuse would just sound like a roundabout way of telling him that she doesn't like him romantically). In the tail end of the series, Shirogane graduates early and begins attending Stanford University. While one would think that this would be an issue for his relationship with Kaguya, the fact that video chatting apps are so ubiquitous in the modern day makes this a non-issue (and Kaguya is also rich enough that taking a private jet to see him every weekend is an inconvenience at worst). Both of them are also fully aware that this is a temporary arrangement and that she'd be joining him in a few months once she graduates. |

Domestic Girlfriend: At roughly their one-year anniversary, Natsuo's girlfriend receives a training opportunity in America. It will take a full year. Natsuo isn't happy about it but is insistent that she look at it objectively and do what she thinks is best. She does decide to leave after all, and they Skype as much as possible despite the time difference. Their relationship is complicated a bit because Natsuo has several girls who consider taking advantage of his girlfriend's absence to seduce him, and his girlfriend has a sex-crazed roommate who keeps trying to convince her to go on dates. | |

C14 Dating: If played properly, the game will have Melissa start a romantic relationship during an eight-week trip abroad. As she returns to her home country at the end of the game, any relationship she does manage to start becomes this by design. Shoji's parents were in one for some time, before the Internet era. This is a factor in him trusting that he and Melissa can make their relationship work in his romantic route. This is what kept Melissa's relationship with her high school boyfriend to last longer than it did. In the romantic route in which this comes up, she hopes that she will manage the budding relationship better. |

Sailor Moon: During the Sailor Stars arc, Mamoru went to America to study, leaving Usagi behind for a large part of the series. (And then it turns out that Mamoru actually was killed by having his Star Seed stolen at the airport, and Usagi witnessed it, but she was so traumatized that she repressed this memory. In the anime it's slightly changed; Mamoru gets killed off a little after his plane took off, and since Usagi didn't see it, she truly believed Mamoru wasn't able to contact her until Galaxia shows her Mamoru's Heart Star Seed and tells her how she killed him..) A lesser example is Motoki and Reika. Reika agonizes over accepting a two-year trip to Africa because it will take her away from Motoki. He promises to wait and, after the usual monster attack, she goes. In a later season she returns, only to turn right around and go back to Africa again—this time for ten years. |

Kim Possible: A non-romantic example occurs in A Sitch in Time when Ron's family moves to Norway (courtesy of Future Shego). Despite Kim saying they can still make Team Possible work, two times, Ron shows up late to the mission, and when they're finally together, they're out of sync, so they regrettably agree that Kim should go solo. Fortunately, Ron accidentally hits the Reset Button and causes everything to go back to normal. At the end of the fourth (and final) season, Ron was worried about a straighter example of this happening (as at this point, he and Kim have become an Official Couple). Realizing that he and Kim will probably end up going to different colleges, he's worried about what will happen to their relationship after they graduate from high school. Whatever happens, Word of God says they stay together forever. |

The anime version of Marmalade Boy had this for a while, when Yuu takes a scholarship and goes to study in America leaving his girlfriend Miki behind in Japan. It didn't work very well though: they did their best to try maintaining their bond, but Miki is emotionally exhausted due to being pursued by other two guys and, after a rather tasteless prank from an American Clingy Jealous Girl who's after Yuu, they break it off for a while and it takes them quite the time to mildly rekindle their bonds. | |

Samantha Argus and Dave Hamper of the newspaper comic Safe Havens have a long-distance marriage. This is a source of angst for Samantha, as she knows Dave wants to make Italy (where he plays professional basketball) his permanent home and she wants to stay in Havens. Eventually, the situation resolves itself when Samantha reveals to Dave that they'll be going on a mission to Mars together. In preparation for that, he retires from basketball and moves back to Havens. Then again, by the time they married, they've become pros at this sort of relationship: in the course of their relationship, they've been separated by Dave being transferred to another school (her school's rival, no less), their respectively demanding college schedules (Dave's as a basketball player, Samantha's as an R.A. and a doctorate candidate), and Dave had already been playing in Italy a few years before they tied the knot. The constantly airborne Thomas and the mermaid Remora tried to have one of these. And then Thomas got pregnant with Marlon, making them needing to live together a necessity. Yes, you read that right. Ironically enough, years later they'd find their positions reversed: after the Mars mission Remora becomes a professor at Havens University while Thomas becomes the landfolk's ambassador to the ocean. |

Stranger Things: In the third season finale, the Byers family takes Eleven in in after Hopper is presumed killed at Starcourt Mall, and the opening of the mall forces them to move. Mike and Eleven plan to do this. However, given Mike and Eleven didn't let a Government Conspiracy hunting her, Hopper having to hide her for nearly a year, the machinations of the Soviet Union, or an Eldritch Abomination with a grudge keep them apart, they probably view this as a minor problem. Indeed, Mike has already got permission to come visit them on Thanksgiving, and another visit around Christmas. Season 4 shows they continuously wrote to each other through the school year, but she was lying about how happy she was while he was not as affectionate or open with her in writing as she wanted, resulting in a blowup during their reunion. Nancy and Jonathan's relationship is strained by the distance, with both disappointed in the other for not being together during spring break. In addition, Jonathan doesn't want to go to college with her but hasn't yet told her that Dustin lives in Hawkins, IN while his summer camp girlfriend Suzie lives in Salt Lake City, UT. They communicate mostly over the phone. |

In L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series, Anne and Gilbert carry on one for roughly three years, while he attends medical school and she teaches high school. Anne of Windy Poplars is composed entirely of Anne's letters to Gilbert while they are separated. In Rilla of Ingleside, many of Anne and Gilbert's children carry on long-distance relationships during World War I. The one emphasized, obviously, is Rilla's sort-of, unofficial (she's confused) long-distance relationship with her childhood friend/crush Ken Ford. |

In Bittersweet Candy Bowl, the main character Mike is dating a girl named Sandy, who moved away when they were younger. Ironically, one of the biggest issues that arises from this is Mike's outrage upon learning how many of his friends think he should give up on her and start dating someone closer to home. | |

Two Letters: After Nino's family moved away, he and Alya attempted to maintain one of these. Sadly, it fell apart... largely because the whole reason they moved in the first place was because they feared associating with Alya after she was Convicted by Public Opinion would result in Nino suffering as well. | |

During the Sailor Stars arc, Mamoru went to America to study, leaving Usagi behind for a large part of the series. (And then it turns out that Mamoru actually was killed by having his Star Seed stolen at the airport, and Usagi witnessed it, but she was so traumatized that she repressed this memory. In the anime it's slightly changed; Mamoru gets killed off a little after his plane took off, and since Usagi didn't see it, she truly believed Mamoru wasn't able to contact her until Galaxia shows her Mamoru's Heart Star Seed and tells her how she killed him..) | |

In Opalescent, Opal tells Otto that she has been picked by the Big Office to go on a crucial mission and needs to leave on a trip. They both agree to try a long-distance relationship, and although Opal being picked for a mission and needing to leave was a lie she made up to get Otto to accept his promotion to the Management department without worrying about their relationship, them trying out a long-distance relationship is definitely true. | |

Used in A Town Where You Live and ended badly, when the female lead Yuzuki decided to cut off all contact with the male lead Haruto and date her dying childhood friend as a pity date. Since this is a Seo Kouji series, it never crossed her mind to explain this in any way shape or form to the male lead. They try it again later when Haruto gets a job that requires him to move. He is initially encouraged when he finds out his senior at work has maintained a successful long-distance relationship with her boyfriend for five years. Until she shows up at his apartment distraught and begging to sleep with him since she just broke up with her boyfriend. The distance was more emotional in her case. As much as she and her boyfriend loved each other, their dreams for the future were just incompatible. Her boyfriend wanted her to quit her job and move in with him so they could raise a family, and she wanted to stay at her job. They avoided confronting the issue for years, but it finally came to a head... to which they once again break up. | |

In Katawa Shoujo, this is subverted in Lilly's route. When she reveals that her parents are ordering her to return home to Scotland, she suggests that she and Hisao could try a long-distance relationship, but Hisao knows that this would more or less be a death sentence for their relationship. In the good ending, Lilly changes her mind and stays in Japan with Hisao. | |

Gravity Falls; in the Season 2 episode "Soos and the Real Girl", Soos meets a woman named Melody who shares many of the same quirks he does, and the two hit it off. However, she's only visiting for a few days before going back to Portland, so they agree to continue the relationship via Skype. Soos is okay with this, saying he's better at talking to women through video screens anyway, and they're still together as of "Love God". In the final episode, she moves back to help him run the Mystery Shack, a tourist trap he now owns. | |
