Ahhh, it's great to be in love but I'm sorry to tell you that long distance relationship doesn't work out in the end.


The best you can do is enjoy the time you have because eventually the long distance and ';out of sight, out of mind'; axiom will kick in and either he or you will eventually drift away. So have as much fun as you can possibly have and when the time comes, have an amicable break up and you could still be friends.How do i deal with a long distance relationship?
awh :) i think that if you guys know that your truly in love you'll be able to get through it. make sure you guys talk alot wether its on the phone,computer,texting,and if your not too far he could visit and you could visit him as well. i know what its like because i had a long distance relationship and as long as you guys trust eachother it will work out :D i mean it will be hard with not being able to be together all the time like you usually probably are,but if you just talk alot you can still be just like the couple you are now. and if you guys have webcams you could always do webchats so you can see eachother more often :) good luck!
This is going to be hard. I'm going through one myself, so I do know where you're position is:).





I suggest msn, webcamming, anything you guys can do together long distance.





Also, I suggest to schedule monthly visits if you can afford it. At least once a week if possible, if not than at least once every 2 weeks. And BARE minimum once a month.





Try to communicate everyday, doesn't have to be a huge convo, just short emails, IMs...will cheer the other up and make the distance feel a little less far.





The phone is definitely one of your best friends when it comes to LDR.(phone card :D)





And also, trust is going to be a huge aspect to this relationship. If you think trust was hard when you were together, it's going to be harder now.





You'll have to trust each other.





All in all, it is very much possible to stay connected and together in an LDR.





I guess one of the benefits, is that you don't really take your time together for granted. Ever.





Send him little gifts over mail every so often just to let him know you love him. :)





OH AND LASTLY...





Don't ever let negative comments discourage you. Forget what other people say. This is your relationship, if you think you can do it, then go for it.





Best of Luck.
Long distance relationships are very, VERY difficult because you don't know what your boyfriend is doing. The main question is how long it will be.


Sooner or later you will REALLY start to miss him. You should be ready if you want to make this work. Also, think this through CAREFULLY. You don't want to start and then realize it won't work after you let 2 years of men go by.





HOW NOT TO MISS HIM:


Basically, if you really wish to make this work I recommend that you organize some place to visit over the holidays, when you don't have something important happening. I don't know about meeting his parents, as that would be a bit strange. They may find the long distance relationship to be a bit foolish. Try to make it work though. Call him using video chat such as Skype unless you find higher quality video. Try to be together ALONE when you do something together. Avoid distractions. Turn your phone off and savor every moment you have together. You may not see him every holiday but if you make every moment with him count, it will be good.


One more thing- Keep a picture of him but don't worship him = / I've seen that.
i have a long distance relationship! :) im doing great! missing him iz just something you have to deal with unfortunately... :( if you truly love each other, you can make it through. try to make a time that you can call each other and talk each day. try to stay close so you don't grow distant from each other, or you don't grow close to other people. just keep in touch and you can do it haha
ohh , i am in one right now , the key things are TRUST and HUMILITY . you need to be ably to trust the person that you are with and you need to be able to look at what they are aslo having to deal with . a realtionship goes two ways and if both people do not put forth the effort to try to make it work then it is not going to work. but mine has been working , i have been with my boy for a long time and we recenlty had to move away from each other, encourage each other and put yourseld in each others shoes. and i am NOT saying that it will be easy because trust me it aint . but if you truely love the person then yall can make it work , promise . i have done it
well it'll defenitly be hard,of course.but sounds like you guys can make it so call each other more than regularly,you can have webcam chats and visit eachother sometimes too,stay in touch as much as possible because no matter how much you love him it is possible to draw apart because of one forgotten phone call every week which will lead to a few less and then to practically none.





good luck.
My advice....talk on the phone %26amp; text as much as possible. I've been in a long distance relationship for 2 1/2 years. But we made it work!! This year I am going to college with him %26amp; we are planning on getting married next summer =) I love him so much %26amp; we finally get to live together!! Anyone who says that long distance relationships dont work is wrong....they do work it just takes finding the right person and it sounds to me like u found the right person. Good Luck =) I'm sure everything will work out for you!
Long distance relationships have to have a trust.





If you have that, then the best you can do to keep the relationship is to KEEP IN TOUCH. Text, IM, email or webcam with him :). It's all about having trust though that when he/you are away, that you will stay faithful and honest. Good luckk!
well, its honestly ur life. and u can have a long distance relationship. now if its two different states that b hard. and even harder if its two different countries. so i dnt think those two things would work. ur not gonna be in college 24/7. i mean. u will have times off and days off that u dnt go. mayb u go 4 hours a day. watever the times are, u two can still drive up/down to see each other. split it up. tell him to come see u then nxt u will come see him. have him stay with u in ur dorm, house or apartment u will b living in. he might like that. just make time to see each other. dnt go the whole time ur in college not seeing him. i would keep myself busy with friends, studying, working, reading, or something to keep ur mind off of him...
that's awesome if u guys can do it... i wanted to go to school in Italy but i couldn't leave my bf in california. i would miss him too much!!! i don't regret it and for sure he can be trusted but i just couldn't do it. there really isn't a solution to your problem. you cant hold back feelings for someone special. sorry
i had to deal with it to for a year when she lived in california so the best thing to do call everyday but if she doesn't come back break up because 75% of long distance relationships fail if they don't come back
maybe write each other more and make a web page together for only you two and that would still give you the feeling where a lil space for only you and him. its just an idea if you too love each other it will work. don't worry
get web cams so you can keep in touch. try to set aside a specific hour or so every day so you can keep in touch. mail presents to each other to let him know your thinking of him. hope this helped.
There isn't really a way to not miss him if you are truly


in love, you just need to figure out ways to deal with missing him.
Platonic. If it's the real deal, you will be together whenever.
masturbation.
long distant relationships are a waste of time.





been there done that.
chat with him on a webcam everyonce in a while, so u can talk 'face to face'





good luck=]
dont do it
