Long distance relationships: 11 tips

💞 Find a convenient time to talk regularly
Even if you work at your computer 24/7, sometimes you just need to talk and get feedback. Depending on the distance, it takes a certain period of time to form a suitable time schedule for conversations, but as the saying goes, he who seeks, he will always find. For example, you can send your loved one funny voice messages when you don't have time to chat with him or her on the phone. And no, it doesn't matter if you can only call on Sunday mornings. The important thing is to make time for each other.

💞 Find better ways to stay in touch
Once you've picked a time to communicate, it's also important to choose the right means to do so. Luckily, it's never been easier to stay in touch with the world than it is today: a Wi-Fi connection is all you need to Skype, talk and text. Make sure your preferred communication tool is easily accessible to the two of you, and don't forget that using different means of communication will fill your communication with bright colors.

💞 Be resourceful.
Record an unexpected audio message, send a letter, postcard or package. Use your imagination and look for surprising new ways to give your partner attention. That doesn't mean you have to squander all the money in the account: instead of wasting money on expensive gifts, why not prepare stickers with nice notes for the next meeting?

💞 Don't avoid arguments.
If you see each other every couple of weeks or months and even speak different languages, problems and worries fade into the background for you. No one wants to waste time arguing and conflicting when you only have 48 hours to be together, but by turning a blind eye to disagreements, you will hurt the development of your relationship. The more you talk about topics you haven't yet come to a compromise on before they become a serious obstacle in your love story, the better. Try to solve problems in a meeting or on the phone as soon as they arise. Correspondence in such matters is not welcome.

💞 Speak out .
Always try to be frank and honest when expressing your feelings. If you don't know where your loved one is at the moment or who he or she spent Saturday night with, you'll start to worry and get worked up. And social media allowing you to watch the person's life won't solve the problem. It's important to trust each other, share your thoughts and feelings and overcome jealousy, doubts and misunderstandings together.

💞 Look at the world with a positive attitude!
There are pluses and minuses to the usual pattern of life with a long-distance relationship. Sometimes you may feel as if you are missing something, because you rarely cross paths with your significant other, rarely meet after work or have lunch together. However, there is a flip side to the coin - you can get busy with your own business. And if you have a force majeure at work or university, you don't have to upset your loved one by canceling dinner or movie plans, for example.

💞 Do boring things together
When you see each other several times a year, each meeting feels like a real vacation. Well, maybe it's a real vacation, since you're taking a break from your everyday worries. There's nothing wrong with sleeping longer than usual, having a late breakfast and going sightseeing, but it's also important to do chores together - folding laundry, mowing the lawn... A mutual desire to make everyday things fun and interesting is a test of a relationship, isn't it?

💞 Make an appointment for the next time you see each other.
It takes money and time to see each other, so scheduling a meeting isn't always easy. But your feelings will suffer and your life plans will be upset if you don't know when you will meet again. Therefore, it is better to set a date for your next date as soon as you return home. That way, you can make advance reservations for great deals, not to mention the anticipation of the anticipated event! (Unexpected visits are also a great option, practice that too).

💞 Spend time together.
Hard times call for creative ways to spend time together: even if you're far apart, you can still do something together (thanks to the video call feature). These days, it's easy to find virtual fun for two: you can cook, eat or walk while streaming a video signal to each other.

💞 Keep the memorabilia.
Sometimes even phone calls and correspondence won't get rid of your longing for your significant other. To overcome sadness, you can wear his favorite shirt or drink from his favorite mug. This can be an ordinary thing, but its effect will be very beneficial. The smell of his favorite perfume or laundry detergent will erase the temporal boundaries between you - feel free to practice this if you want to be closer to your beloved.

💞 Make each other part of your everyday life
Whenever you can, tell each other about the places you frequent (you can send a picture) and the people you spend time with. This will make your daily conversations much more meaningful, and your sense of togetherness with your loved one will only grow stronger.
