See It As An Opportunity
This as an experience you can share for the rest of your lives. Tell yourself that you know distance is temporary, and if you can get through a temporary distance, you’re well on your way to the yellow brick road called forever.
Engage In Activities
I stumbled upon the blog “Loving From A Distance” created by long distance couple Michelle and Frank to help others in geographically challenged relationships similar to them. I was intrigued by their list of LDR (Long Distance Relationship) activities such as 100 Questions To Ask Your Partner. My boyfriend and I talk regularly, which is great. But the caveat to talking on a daily basis can lead to possibly running out of things to say. If you’re experiencing this, please don’t fret. These questions can lead to great discussion starters.
1.) Where have you always wanted to travel?
2.) What do you think we need to work on most in our relationship?
3.) What’s your favorite personality trait of your own?
4.) Which of your parents are you most like?

Communicate Creatively
What I’ve noticed in my long distance relationship, and through hearing about other long distance relationships, is that the use of communication is key! When it comes to communicating with your partner, get creative! Some of my favorite mediums I recommend using to engage with your lover is the popular social sharing app SnapChat, Skype, and SimilarMinds.com, an interactive compatibility test you can take and share with another person. Did I mention you can do all of this for free? Get on that.
Plan To See One Another
Planning a mini vacay to see your queen or knight in shining armor is possible with a little research and planning. Talk about your schedules and plan around that. Also take turns looking at travel deals on sites like Expedia.com and Priceline to see if you can catch some travel deals to get more bang for your buck.
