1. At the very beginning of the relationship, ask each other important questions to make sure that you both expect the same thing from them. Decide who you are to each other: you are dating, or you are just acquaintances who are happy to meet when they find themselves in the same city, or you are engaged. Perhaps one of you thinks that you are already ready for the wedding, while the other is not ready to declare such a serious relationship. Yes, these questions are awkward and difficult to ask, but they are necessary in order to avoid misunderstandings and insults. You can discuss whether any of you are ready to move to another city for the sake of a wedding and living together, as well as discuss what each of you is looking for in a relationship. By declaring your goal at the very beginning, you will help both yourself and a loved one to act in accordance with personal wishes and dreams.
2. You must have common interests and you need to discuss them constantly. Do you like collecting stamps? Discuss the appearance of a new unique instance in your collection. Do you both like to ride a bike? Synchronize and ride at the same time, and then share your emotions. When you devote time to your common hobby, you will remember about your loved one.
3. Don't try to control your partner. As long as you are both interested in a relationship, you will support them. But as soon as one of you decides that his relationship is not satisfied, or just another person will appear in his life, the relationship will end, and it doesn't matter if you live 3,000 km from each other, in the same city or in the same room.
4. Do something for each other. This does not mean that you have to throw everything on the altar of relationships. But maybe there are things that you've wanted to do for a long time, but you didn't have enough motivation. In that case, you can start doing it for your partner's sake. For example, to tighten your figure a little or improve your culinary skills. At the meeting, you will be pleased to show off your achievements to each other and you will be able to discuss how difficult some moments were given to you.
5. Discuss your joint plans for the future in order to know what you are moving towards, in order to understand why you are trying and experiencing difficulties and problems of long-distance relationships now.
6. Keep a positive attitude, do not allow yourself to focus on the negative aspects of long-distance relationships for a minute. Yes, you are far from your "candy", but you can pay more attention to your work, hobbies, and your interests. In addition, such relationships force you to constantly invent new ways of communication, they reveal your creative side, which will have a positive impact on all aspects of life. Your positivity will be transmitted to your loved one, you will feel each other's support.
