If the person that you’re dating lives further away than you would like, there are ways to keep the relationship alive even if you can’t spend time in person. The first is to regularly communicate with one another via phone, text message, social media, and messaging apps. Take time to video chat when you can’t be there to look into one another’s eyes. Send letters, have flowers delivered, and even order take-out for your special person as ways of showing them that you care. You’d be surprised at how much fun and creativity you display when you invest in a long-distance relationship. When the two of you are together, it makes your memories sweeter than ever.
