This one is diagnostic rather than flattering. It's looking for the specific thing most likely to break your version of long distance — and there is almost always one specific thing.

Long distance rarely fails because two people stopped caring. It fails on a cost nobody priced, a time difference nobody could sustain for two years, or an end date nobody would say out loud. All three are fixable — but only once you know which one is yours.

So this isn't pass or fail. Every result here comes with a next step attached, including the one that says not yet, which is a sequence rather than a verdict. If you already know distance is your situation and you just want the structural version, how to build a long-distance relationship covers the parts this quiz only diagnoses.
