In the eyes of many people, long-distance love always feels very painful, because it carries a long distance, and also bears some psychological pressure. Will the partner have someone else? Will our future personalities be compatible? However, successful cases do exist.
First, clearly understand the relationship between you two
Use some terms to define your relationship, just want to date occasionally? Or often? A boyfriend or girlfriend? Or we are going to get engaged. For the lonely guy, define whether you are a celibate. Answering these questions is really difficult and awkward, but it will really save you endless headaches and misunderstandings. For example, "If our relationship goes further, will you consider moving?" or "What do you want from our relationship?" Clarifying your ultimate goal and idea will allow two people to work together for these.
Unified cooperation and contempt for distance
It is very important that, as a poor long-distance couple, you should do something else together besides calling. Is it boring to call for a long time? Try some other forms of collaboration. Think about it. Couples who are not far away will never spend much time on the phone, but find something to do together. You should also try to do this, try to find something you can do together, and watch the same TV or movie at the same time.
Anyway, communicate every day
And as many as possible. Although you can't see each other, it is very important to establish and maintain emotional communication. It does not always require lengthy and in-depth communication. Tell the other party about your small achievements or setbacks and ask what to do. It's OK to just say what you feel today. Write a love letter or send a little gift online for no reason. In this way, the quantity of communication will be as important as the quality. You will find that you even have an advantage over those non-long-distance students: you will not regard communication as a routine.
