Don't date girls long distance.
It takes two very savvy, very committed people to make work. Distance takes in problems in the relationship, minor though they may be, and exacerbates them in a bigly way. A relationship that might have worked just fine could end too soon with just the right amount of distance.
I've had three long distance relationships*, all of them were virgins, all of them were marriage material in my mind, and all of them failed. The learning curve is steep and not always linear (you may learn the wrong lessons if you don't have the right paradigm or a good sounding board).
Unless you are highly experienced and highly sure you want and can make whatever relationship you're ailing about work, I recommend you avoid distance in excess as best you can.

*Yes - the common denominator in those relationships you can discern besides distance itself is me. I've turned down several opportunities to date because I knew I couldn't handle or didn't want to handle the distance. It doesn't mean I'll never do it again, but I at least know what the stakes are now.
