[[File:xkcd-
Perhaps [[Alice and Bob]] started out dating while they [[Girl Next Door|lived close together]] and one had to move away (far enough away that they can't see each other 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).
Line 13:
* In [[Gunbuster]], Kazuki's relationship with Coach Ohta is not only long distance, it very quickly becomes a [[Mayfly-December Romance]] because relativistic effects means that Kazuki will outlive Ohta (and most of human civilization, as a matter of fact) by a long shot.
* During the Sailor Stars arc of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', Mamoru went to America to study, leaving Usagi behind for a large part of the series. (And then it turns out that {{spoiler|Mamoru actually had his heart crystal ''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.}}.)
** 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
* The anime version of [[Marmalade Boy]] had this for a while. {{spoiler|It didn't work very well though.}}
* In [[Kodomo no Omocha]], Sana goes on an extended film project out in the woods and is plagued by rumors and [[Yoko Oh No|angry fangirls]] of her colleague who hate her for apparently dating him; later, the prospect of her love interest Hayama going overseas to recuperate from serious injury is enough to send her into a [[Heroic BSOD]], though eventually she comes to terms with it and they are reunited in the [[Distant Finale]].
