Long distance =X

I'd like to say something very positive, but in my experience, none of my long distance relationships ever worked out. I can maybe make some ideas though.1: Calling a lot helps some, but it really requires that you have something to talk about. That awkward silence that seems to creep up in relationships really effs things up.2: If he's all upset about his transportation, pitch in for some gas money. Can't complain about free money.3: when he's around, do some extra things you know he likes. Play that video game you hate, or don't ask him to go shopping.4: I would be on the watch for an excuse to get into your pants. Although he may be your significant other, that doesn't mean it's simply OK to let him have free reign of your body. It's even worse if he guilt trips you into it by this long distance speak. Watch out.That's really all I have at the moment.

Tell him to just hold on. Make plans for the summer. I assume that when summer comes you will be done with school, no? And if he is coming home for the summer, then there you go. Or, if he isn't, then you could go to stay with him over the summer vacation, and you'd be all that much more setup when school began... (assuming that you will be going to school with him next year, right!?)LQ

My G/F goes to college about 8 hours away from where I go to college. It's really hard, we don't even have the same spring break. But we're doing pretty well. I'm gonna be driving down to see her in a few weeks, we have all summer together, etc. We also talk, pretty much 24/7. On AIM, via text, or on the phone. always say goodnight to each other, etc. We got webcams for the holidays, so those are nice to get to actually see / hear them every once and a while.

I consider myself sort of a billboard for long distance relationships.Me and my gf is 3000 miles away. Next month will be our 2 year anniversary. We've been through a lot of hard times. I met her online, we existed online, and I got to see her finally for the first time for 2 weeks during Christmas. Best days of my life. She was perfect. And now things are back to normal. And I wait and pray everyday that I can see her again very soon.It CAN be done. It just takes an extreme amount of willpower and dedication.
