1. Prioritize and be truly included
Your long-distance relationship should be more important to you than most of the social connections at your fingertips. It can be difficult, just like staying at home and waiting for your loved one to go on Skype when friends and girlfriends invite you to a movie or a club is not easy. But it is necessary for such a relationship. Moreover, short meetings are often not enough to get to know each other really deeply, and one should not neglect any of the opportunities for communication.

2. Don't get locked into each other
Of course, having finally met a loved one, there is a great temptation to lock yourself up with him at home or in a hotel for all the time allotted to you - and let the whole world wait. But this is a mistake. Use the meeting time to introduce your partner to your family and friends - or to get to know his (her) loved ones.

We are largely defined by our circle of friends. And if these circles for partners remain a mystery behind seven seals, then there is no need to talk about serious and reliable relationships.

3. Plan for the future
No matter how far apart you are and no matter how long your distance relationship lasts, it cannot and should not last forever. They should be considered temporary. And plan for the future that will come when you finally don't have to travel hundreds of miles to meet. This gives the relationship a perspective and an incentive to develop.
