Line 4:
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).
 
At any rate, a story that has a long[[Long-Distance distance relationshipRelationship]] 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 ([[Double Standard|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]]. If the relationship breaks down while they're still apart, expect a heartbreaking [["Dear John" Letter]].
 
Contrast [[Girlfriend in Canada]], which is where someone ''pretends'' to have a [[Long-Distance Relationship]].
