Long-distance relationships are difficult but not impossible. They usually are most successful when the couple has been dating prior to it becoming long-distance, otherwise there is little foundation to work with. The foundation I'm talking about is basically communication and trust. Communication is the biggest one, of course, and in my opinion, the life blood of any healthy relationship.

I am in a long-distance relationship although some of the summers and winter breaks we have been able to live together. We were together over 2 years before parting for college. It's been 3 years now long-distancing and it doesn't get easier, but I don't think it's gotten harder. Personally, what works for us is to talk every night...just talk about our day, stuff that happened, how we're feeling. It helps you feel as though you are with that person and keeps you included in their lives. Also, we keep ourselves busy! It's so depressing to sit around thinking about how far away they are. Not good! Make visits at least once a month and don't plan much, just be together. We haven't had any problems keeping the relationship "alive," and we continually grow stronger. Some couples are so far apart they only see each other a couple of times a year! But you know what? If there is love, trust, and commitment, you always feel connected to that person and you always feel that they're with you, loving you.

Also, we like to keep the emphasis on the perks of long-distancing, as hard as it may be sometimes to shift our focus when we're feeling depressed by the distance. You have little possibility of becoming dependent on that person for your happiness. You have your own friends, your own life, plus the one you share with them. You get all your homework done! :) The time you spend with each other is passionate and beautiful and so very special. Honestly that keeps things alive a lot! So good luck if you are also in one!

If youre just looking for ideas on how to stop things from just becoming repetitive heres some fun things you can do together.

Watch a movie/tv show while on skype together
play truth or dare together, people say it doesnt work from a distance but it does and if you want you can use skype too
Find a hobbie that you can share eg. Collecting coins therefor youll always have something in common
And if you both like video games then why not play online together?
And most importantly NEVER EVER EVER fall into a pattern, this will end your relationship! So if you fall into one try and get out as soon as possible!

Love is the answer to everything. All you ever need is love,
communication and understanding. That's what I figured out so
far. If you are down, you need to get up and start doing something with
your life. Don't need to be shy, be straight forward and allways say what
you want and expect from the others.

If you have the time, and you are looking for someone, complete this simple
form and start dating.

Ask each other a lot of questions any and everything, not all at once spread them out. Example: If there would two things you would change about yourself what would it be? OR have phone sex.

Communication. IM, call each other, and see each other whenever possible.
