How to Survive A Long Distance Relationship

By Kate Yu
I used to have a romantic notion about long-distance relationships. I blame it on the movie 카지노 게임 컬렉션Going the Distance카지노 게임 컬렉션, in which the lead characters, San Francisco native Erin (Drew Barrymore) and Garrett from New York City (Justin Long) fall in love, pursue a long-distance relationship, and 카지노 게임 컬렉션 what do you know 카지노 게임 컬렉션 have a happy Hollywood ending.

Years later, I would find myself in not one but two long-distance relationships and discover that it wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t all hugs, kisses, and Hollywood fairytale endings. The truth of the matter is long-distance relationships or LDRs are like a battle in the trenches. This is no Cinderella meets Prince Charming. Unlike normal relationships, LDRs are devoid of all physical contact. It can be hard to feel affection to and intimate with your loved one when all you have is a pixelated blurb on Skype. But LDRs can still work and if you value your partner, you can still make your relationship last even if you카지노 게임 컬렉션re thousands of miles away. Here are some practical tips that can help you.

Establish Your Role in the Relationship

The question: 카지노 게임 컬렉션Where are we right now?카지노 게임 컬렉션 hangs ominously before couples depart. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s important to establish this before you start a long-distance relationship. Did you just start dating? Are you still openly dating other people? If you are, then forget it. There카지노 게임 컬렉션s no use in doing long distance if you haven카지노 게임 컬렉션t committed yourself to being exclusive. Start harping on wanting commitment and you will see your partner run for the hills.

Like Danielle. Danielle fell head over heels in love with a backpacker, Tony, when they were traveling in Bolivia for a month. Eventually they parted ways, Danielle returning to Belgium and Tony to the States, with the promise of doing long distance till they see each other again.

It didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t work.

They had not known each other long enough to build the foundation of their relationship. Eventually, Tony lost interest and pursued law school while Danielle started dating her grad school classmate.

By making sure you카지노 게임 컬렉션ve firmly established that you will be exclusive to each other and have been dating for a long time, you will be able to do better in a long-distance relationship.

Ask Yourself If You Can Do a Long-Distance Relationship

LDRs are not for everyone. Whether it is for you depends on your personality and where you are right now in your life. Can you stand not having someone for a period of time? Are you a good and consistent communicator via emails, instant messaging, or Skype? Can you remain faithful if your sweetheart isn카지노 게임 컬렉션t around? If you answer "no" to most of these questions, a long-distance relationship is not for you.

Communicate Wisely

Stick to one or two mediums of communication to keep things straight. You don카지노 게임 컬렉션t want any miscommunication. With today카지노 게임 컬렉션s technology, communicating with your loved one is just so much easier than before when all we had was snail mail or, worse, the telegraph. With Skype, Instant Messaging, Twitter, Facebook it can get overwhelming when you are bombarded with incessant notifications in all mediums at the same time. I remember I forgot the date and time my boyfriend was coming to visit and couldn카지노 게임 컬렉션t recall if he had sent it via Facebook, Twitter, Gmail or Instagram. In his past LDR, my friend Anthony suddenly got buried in a flood of texts, Skype voicemails, and Google chats. You guessed it. He quickly ran for the hills.

Set Up a Schedule

Create a schedule for communication you and your sweetheart can commit and stick to 카지노 게임 컬렉션 this builds routine and anticipation for 카지노 게임 컬렉션seeing카지노 게임 컬렉션 each other. This is very helpful especially if you live in opposite time zones (example: he lives in Seattle, US and she lives in Singapore) and it can be hard to find a common time to talk.

Give Advance Notice If Something Comes Up

It can카지노 게임 컬렉션t be helped that sometimes we miss our appointments for that weekly Skype talk. You카지노 게임 컬렉션re working in your office and your colleague suddenly tells you that everyone is going out for a drink in the bar nearby to celebrate Emily카지노 게임 컬렉션s engagement. You don카지노 게임 컬렉션t know Emily but you don카지노 게임 컬렉션t want to miss out on all the fun and booze. Then you remember you have to Skype with your boyfriend later in the evening. If you want to go, tell your partner you can카지노 게임 컬렉션t make it via email or text ahead of time. Do not skip an appointment with your partner without giving notice! That just builds resentment. Chances are they might have canceled other plans or stayed up an hour later just to talk to you. Skipping out on your weekly session without telling them is asking for trouble.

Set Up a Call Forward for Emergencies

There will be times you won카지노 게임 컬렉션t be able to reach each other. Maybe your loved one is asleep or in the shower. What if they don카지노 게임 컬렉션t have internet access? In case of emergencies, it would help to set up a call forward on your Skype accounts so that when you call your girlfriend or boyfriend on Skype it will automatically forward to their mobile phone or landline.
