Ever been in a long distance relationship- if so have any advice?

on how to deal with the distance? -think thats what your asking. My bf and I right now are states apart because of college. Between me and him I've told him he is worth the wait.. I mean, it means a lot. When your down and sad to know that you want to be with them over anyone else, that they make you the happiest and that you would wait to be with them because of how much you love each other. I mean both of us tell that to each other when were sad and it really helps to know they care about you that way.


Another thing is, my bf and I have a journal, he actually got it and started it up and surprised me.. he had written in it when he missed me, it had about 8 pages of front and back written and he told me I could write in it now and we would switch again the next time we met. In it he had writting about when he first saw me and what he though and how he grew to love me more and more until he came down to ask, and then even went into how he felt when he was asking.. hehe I returned a entry just the same. I mean its a story from both sides of how we fell in love and its nice to know how much they love you and what they're thinking.


Another thing is we traded sweat shirts, that we've had for a long time. I gave him my fav. one since 4th grade.. lol it was adult size. I mean, old ones so that it'll have your smell in it pretty good. he says he wears mine all the time. I sleep with his and just the smell of him helps me go to sleep. He also, by complete surprise asked me to watch over his stuff animal doliphin Ecco, he said it was the only stuff animal he had and when he was little it was the only thing he asked for one christmas. I happy sleep with his doliphin and shirt, really does help a lot.


Lastly he sends me flowers, he has sent me flowers 3 different times now.. all by surprise and it never fails to make my whole week better. Makes me so happy I end up calling my mom and freaking out and loving him all over aim. Tho I've been thinking of returning the favor by writing him a love note, hand written by mail.


Hope thats what your looking for, also in our journal we have a list of things to help the distance, at the top is 'your worth the wait'.Ever been in a long distance relationship- if so have any advice?

mine didn't work well. he cheated. but your relationship can be different. good luck though. [;
Give it up.
I've been in one for 4 years now. He lives in Germany and i'm in the US. we met at 16 and now we are almost 21. We use webcams so that we can see eachother online. We write letters so that we get a surprise in the mail (and they are more personal). We send eachother small care packages of things we have collected for eachother. I once sent him a shirt that i knew he would like and that would look good on him, before i wrapped it i sprayed a bit of my body spray on it. He kept it with him for days not wanting to wear it because he siad the smell reminded him of me and he wanted it to last. He sent me an MP3 player with our fav. songs and then recording his voice on there and left me a message it was great. They are hard work but its worth it. It takes communcation, trust and honesty, if you two cana do that then you are off to a good start. My rule is that i act the way that i would if my bf was right there next to me. If there is something that i wouldnt' do while he was there with me then i know that i shouldnt' be doing it. He uses the same rule. We let eachother know when we are going out and trust eachother that nothing bad will happen. We don't make eacother isolate ourselves, he has his life there with his fam and friends and i have mine too, we let eachother into our lives and when we met up again we know everything that is going on. We dont' feel like we are holding eachother back and we love that we can be honest with eachother. In a LDR there is no room for doubt. If you get to visit eachother, i like to do things that will stay there and remind him of me. The last time i was at his place, every time he left his room i would grab a small post-it note and wrote a quick message and then hid them all over his room. Two weeks after i left he was still looking for more. When he came to visit he helped me re-decorate and paint my room, now when i lay down to sleep i look around and remember how much fun we had setting up my room. LDRs take a lot of creativity and patience. i hope that i was able to answer your question, let me know if you have anymore questions :)
