bubbles5 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 hey , u have emails, messengers, video chatting ,mobiles lot of options. Not like olden times where pigeons use to deliver letter.And u can keep urself busy with your daily routine
aerogurl87 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Skype and your phone will be your best friend while you two are apart. Get a cam and talk to her on there using skype (it's free ) and call her whenever you can. Text her if you have texting to keep in touch, make sure you both tell each other about your days. Even the smallest details that you don't think really matter, well in a LDR they will matter now. Just make sure you communicate often and communicate well.
Romance Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 my boyfriend and i text most of the day, talk on the phone a few nights a week(sometimes every night, sometimes not at all) thats pretty much our only contact, no skype or anything. He's too busy or just doesnt like to, i dunno.

minnesotadrake Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 hey - i've been in long distance for over 3 years with two different girls in college. Here are some good tips to follow: Have your own life - there's nothing that turns your gf off more then for you to think of her 100% of the time. Have your own life, go out with friends, stay busy, work out...this way you won't be thinking about her all the time and make it seem your needy. Don't overeact with the little things - Remember she has a busy life at college too, so if she doesn't text you every two hours everything is ok! Set communication expectations and what gf expectations for going out...bars and parties (dancing with other guys ok? Giving out her number)...trust me this will save your ass... If you detect any redflags, follow up on it - if she starts talking about a "new friend" or a new guy..follow up on it..check her phone..it will save you months of not knowing if she's fooling around your back... Make sure your 50/50 on the communication and relationship - Just because she's busy, let her know that your not coming along for the ride. You have expectations and she shouldn't forget about you. Let me know if you have any other questions.
