There’s nothing more frustrating than dating someone you can’t see at will. It sometimes feels like you’re still single, but long distance dating isn’t really impossible and tiring…as long as you know what you’re doing, and play your own part. It takes effort just like regular dating, otherwise, it won’t last.
The other thing that must be there is understanding. You have to understand that this isn’t really regular dating, so things will work differently. If you set your mind up like that, everything should be fine. These other tips should also be helpful.
1. Trust is key. Without trust, no relationship will succeed. You can’t think your partner is cheating at every unanswered call or replied text.
2. Put the jealousy on a checked level. We’re all a bit jealous and possessive, but you can’t allow it go beyond normal, otherwise, you could become unbearable.
3. Show concern in their life. You may not be there in person, but thankfully because of phones and technology, you can keep in touch. You have to communicate always, and it shouldn’t stop there, ask about their day, health, family, and general well-being. That’s how you show you care.
4. Manage your together time well. You don’t see often, so when you do get the chance to hook up, it shouldn’t be wasted talking and fighting over stuff that do not count. It should be a cherished memory.
5. If you have social media platforms like Skype or Whatsapp, make the most of them. With these apps, you don’t just chat and talk, you can also be with them by video calling.
6. Avoid cheating. The temptation is going to come. You’ll see others who look good or better, but remember the reason you chose to be with them in the first place. How would you feel if they cheated? The funny thing about cheating is once you start, it’s hard to stop. Rather than cheat, you’re probably better off single.
7. Seeing them should matter. No matter the distance or busy schedule, it’s important to make out time for a visit now and then. Talking is fun and good, but seeing each other, and being together is better.
