My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 8 months and he is moved temporarily 500 miles away from me. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything special i could do for him so this thing will work out.

Built up great communication with him. I am in the same situation with my current boyfriend- we just make sure to talk to eachother as much as we can and we are always open with what is on our mind. Also, if you boyfriend is like mine sometimes he will need reassurance as well to know that you still care and miss him dearly. I hope your boyfriend is as willing to make this work as you are- remember it does take two to make a relationship work.
Good luck!!

I had a similar situation, and I'll be honest - it's a lot of work. Granted, you have 8 months under your belt, so you'll do better than my 3. Also, I was on the opposite side of the world, at least you're on the same continent. So, I'd recommend, setting a time of day, where you both do some action, any thing, at the same time. That way, you'll know that you're thinking of each other at the exact same moment (don't forget to account for time-zone difference), and be sure to invest in a cheap long distance plan, so you can talk on a regular basis. Email/messenger are good, but if you can afford a webcam it's well worth the investment. Hearing his voice, and seeing his smiling face goes a long way in keeping the relationship strong. Oh, and one more thing - if you wear any perfume/scent regularily, send him a card sprayed with the same scent, so he can smell it any time he likes. Hope this helped. : )

make sure you call him and chat with him when both of you are not busy, keep him updated...
also, you can take a field trip to his new town once in a while... and him back to yours...
just make sure you guys still talk enough and write lots of emails
make him feel as if he is still a big part of your life and the 500 miles isn't going to change that...
but 8 months isn't a very long time, so there is a possiblity that you two might eventually drift apart, since you are not present in each other's lives as much.... just be prepared...
good luck, it takes a lot of hard work to make a long distance relationship work...

I think this is difficult to do. Local relationships require enough work. Since it is temporary you should try, I think it's mandatory to talk on the phone/email each other. Also, you should send him a card/handwritten note. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, I saw it makes the heart go wonder..
But if it wonders back to you, it's yours for keeps.

has he moved already? if he hasnt, make him a special gift(u can buy the materials) im not saying that u cant buy him something but making it urself is alot much meaningful to me..
if ur buying, get a soft toy so that it can company him when his not with u
the present is up to u, im only giving my opinion..
when he is away, keep in contact with him. talk on the phone, sms, chat on msn or something so that u 2 wont be drifted apart
