I think it depends on the situation prior to the distance. If it's starting a relationship where distance is already a factor, it's not something that I'd personally want for myself. But, I'm also the type of person that doesn't understand a NEED for a relationship and I find that if someone is starting a relationship with someone that is already far away (as in, has never been close enough to start the foundation of the relationship before the distance), then the person involved probably has a different feeling on the necessity of relationships than I do. If distance is such a huge factor, having it be an exclusive relationship, at least right away, is just asking for trouble because there isn't enough knowledge of the basics that make relationships work. At the same time, sometimes it's the challenge of the distance that makes it so appealing, a sort of grass-is-greener thing.
