Long distance relationships: 9 tips
id: 10043822

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

2. Find better ways to stay connected
Once you have chosen the time to communicate, it is also important to choose the appropriate means. Fortunately, it has never been so easy to stay connected with the whole world as it is today: a Wi-Fi connection is all you need for Skype, conversations and correspondence. Make sure your preferred communication tool is easily accessible for the two of you, and don't forget that using different communication tools will add color to your communication.

3. Be resourceful
Record an unexpected audio message, send a letter, postcard or package. Use your imagination and look for new amazing ways to give your partner attention. This doesn't mean you have to blow through your account; instead of blowing money on expensive gifts, why not have sticky notes with nice notes ready for your next meeting?

4. Don't avoid controversy
If you see each other once every couple of weeks or months and even speak different languages, then 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 turning a blind eye to disagreements will harm the progress of your relationship. The more you talk about topics you haven't yet reached a compromise on before they become a major obstacle in your love story, the better. Try to solve problems in a meeting or over the phone as soon as they arise. Correspondence in such matters is not encouraged.

5. Speak up
Always try to be open and honest when expressing your feelings. If you don't know where your loved one is at the moment or who he spent Saturday evening with, you will start to worry and stress yourself out. And social networks that allow you to observe a person’s life will not solve the problem. It is important to trust each other, share thoughts and feelings and overcome jealousy, doubts and misunderstandings together.

6. Look at the world with a positive attitude!
The usual way of life with long-distance relationships has its pros and cons. Sometimes you may feel like you're missing out on something because you rarely see your significant other, don't meet up after work, or go out to lunch together. However, there is also the other side of the coin - you can mind your own business. And if you have force majeure at work or at university, you won’t have to upset your loved one by canceling plans for dinner or a movie, for example.

7. Do boring things together
When you see each other several times a year, each meeting feels like a real vacation. Well, maybe this is a real vacation, as you take a break from your everyday worries. There's nothing wrong with sleeping in longer than usual, having a late breakfast and going sightseeing, but it's also important to do routine chores together - folding laundry, mowing the lawn... Mutual efforts to make everyday things fun and interesting test the relationship, don't you think? ?

8. Make an appointment for your next meeting
Seeing each other requires money and time, so scheduling a meeting isn't always easy. But your feelings will suffer and your life plans will be disrupted if you don't know when you will meet again. Therefore, it is better to set a date for the next date immediately upon returning home. This way, you can book tickets in advance for great deals, not to mention get excited about the event you're waiting for! (Surprise visits are also a great option, practice this too).

9. Spend time together
Tough times call for creative ways to spend time together so that even if you're far apart, you can still do something together (thanks to video calling). These days it's easy to find virtual entertainment for two: you can cook, eat or walk while broadcasting a video signal to each other.
