Chitowngirl Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Just curious, how often are you in contact with your long distance bf or gf? Do you email a few times a day, call once a day, or chat online every night?
Rollercoasterr Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Mathew and I are in contact all day long. We both have unlimited calling plans to the US and Canada so when we're home we talk on the phone, when we're at work, we email a lot. And then of course, there's msn messenger. I realize that not every couple is like this, but Mathew and I are best friends. We tell each other everything, and when we're not talking, we're going crazy missing each other. It's been almost 2 years like this, and we've known each other for 6 years.
Pyro Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Daily and nightly:love: IM during the day/early evening hours and the phone at night ith webcam, moreso on the weekends. She is one of the easiest people to talk to and I enjoy every moment of our conversations.
Citizen Erased Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 What Pyro said. I think we do very well considering the crazy time difference between us. A lack of sleep on both sides but it's worth it. He is simply my favourite person to talk to and I miss him like crazy when either of us can't be around.
sweetjasmine Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 A few times a day, through phone or IM, though it varies. Sometimes we might have a day where we only just talk on the phone for 10 or 15 minutes or so at night, and that's all.
DataJunkie Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Most of the day on chat and a few hours at night on Skype. Some days more than others since she is in college or if my work schedule is hectic.
pandagirl Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I've been in LDR for only one month. At the beginning, I posted on here complaining about our communication with each other, but it's naturally sussed itself out. We're pretty much in contact all day, especially since he hasn't started his job yet. Texting, IMing or phone calls. Some days we might talk more than others, but lately it's been a couple phone calls a day lasting anywhere from 5-30 minutes, plus texts and IMs here and there.
hoping2heal Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Pretty much every day and for several hours a day. Thanks to wireless ear pieces (hallelujah) I can just plug in and go about my day. We aren't always in conversation of course - we will both be doing things on our side - but it's comforting to know he is THERE.

Or you both have Skype for PDA phones? To answer the OP's question: As much as possible. Sadly, with our time zones, internet connections, and lack of good phone plans, and his crazy schedule, it isn't all that much. Usually we can get in a nice solid couple of hours every few days or so to play games and do stuff together... the rest of the time it's just a short conversation on Skype.

LOL no the phone bills aren't astronomical - we DO use the phone but the ear piece I am referring to is for voice chat which we just use msn for.

aerogurl87 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I'm in contact with my guy all day like rollercoasterr. Our days usually go as follows: In the morning we text each other good morning and other random stuff, middle of the day we talk on the phone (gotta love the unlimited calls to the USA and Canada through skype), evening more texting, and at night we talk some more, then after hanging up the phone we usually text each other till we fall asleep. For some that may be overkill, but it's working perfectly for us.
WantToGetExBack Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Currently not in touch with each other due to some problems, don't know what is going to happen. But when we started of year and half ago, it was hours of chatting on MSN and we averaged like 3 hours on phone everyday( Can-US) for like first 5-6 months. For like last year or something it's about an hour or so everyday, but not much chatting. We can't talk anymore because her family caught her with our relationship and took her phone away, at least that's what she says.
Meminger Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 When we first started talking, we would talk on MSN for 10 hours a day. It sounds absurd, but we were definitely in the honey-moon phase and we didn't even realize what time it was until one of us would look at the clock and notice it was around 3 a.m. That made it difficult to keep doing the school and work thing, but it was more than worth it. <3 Now, 7 months later, we are in constant communication. We text each other whenever we can (when we aren't at work or in class). This includes a "Good morning, sweetheart" whenever we wake up. Usually about a 30 minute phone call after we are finished with classes for the day. And we text whenever we can (probably a few short phone calls inbetween) until we have another phone call before bed. We actually sometimes purposefully don't hang up at night and simply plug our phones in and fall asleep together. The call gets dropped after a little while, anyhow. That probably seems incredibly clingy on both of our parts, but it works for us. And we're very happy with it. And, phone bill isn't crazy because soon after we met, he had to buy a new plan and he put me into his "Fave five" so all phone calls from him to me are free. If I want to talk, I usually call him, ask him to call me back and then we talk from there. Sorry that was a little long. >.>
Romance Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 We text from the time we wake up in the morning until bed time. Then at bed time we generally have a phone conversation a few nights a week. We're fortunate enough to see each other every 2/3 weeks..it still sucks but not nearly as bad as a lot of you have it, so we don't skype very often.
Sivok Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 We talk on AIM the whole day, text sporadically, and talk for hours on Skype every night. It makes the distance alot easier
