I haven't been in one myself, however my friend (Who is older than me) had one during university, she said it was tough, and it required a lot of self discipline not go out and flirt with boys, but she got through it and they are now engaged!
I have another friend (my age) who has been in a happy long distance relationship for two years and as far as I know seems fine with it.
As long as there is a will, there is a way. Right?
As for some hints on what to do to make it more bearable...
Phone sex? Phone conversations? Webcam? Skype (its free, better than phone conversations really).
Plan REALLY special things when you finally do meet...
BTW these are all suggestions from my friend who is in a long distance relationship so you can be sure they are tried and tested.
