How to Make a Long Distance Relationship Work: 5 Tips

Following these long distance relationship tips will help you keep your romantic partnership on track:  

-- Chat about your communication needs.
How often should you (both) message each other? How often do you want to talk for an uninterrupted time? Set up a communication schedule (doesn’t have to be set in stone because things happen) but stick to it as much as possible.

-- Stick to your routines.
Sure, your heart feels like it’s split it two – half of it is here with you and the other half over there with your partner. But stay independent and keep up with your routines. Keeping busy helps you feel less lonely.

-- Continue to be intimate.
You aren’t in the same space, so physical intimacy may feel like it’s impossible to achieve, but you can have deep conversations to connect intellectually and on a soul level. If you feel comfortable and safe, swap sexy photos, send naughty texts, and do a naked-funtime video call.

-- Do activities together.
Again, this may not sound like it’s possible, but it is. Time zones may throw a cog in the wheel but work around it. Plan a time to watch a movie together, go for a walk while you chat to your loved one on the phone and take a photo of the stunning sunset and send it to them, or share a hobby you can do together while on video call.

-- Continue to show up for your partner.
Keep on supporting them, motivating them, ensuring it’s a safe space when they share and talk about difficult stuff, invite them to connect with a “what did you think of X” or “did you hear about Y,” and remind them that you love them.

Why Dating Apps Don't Work For Many Men

While many straight guys look for love on online dating sites, the reality is that it’s like looking for a needle in a stack of needles.

There are many gorgeous women that create stunning profiles on online dating sites, and some of them are even legit, but there are also equally many attractive guys out there.

To be successful as a straight male on online dating platforms means you need to be the leader of the pack and completely memorable.

Make your love interest feel seen and you will be seen too.
