I'm going home for the summer, and my boyfriend of seven months and I are continuing the relationship. Unfortunately, I live half way across the country. I'm already planning on writing to him frequently, but does anyone have any other advice? (Please don't mention keeping in touch on the phone. I have an irrational fear of talking on the phone, and only do it in emergencies... silly, I know, but oh well.)Long distance relationship advice for a college student?
If you ever find yourself missing him deeply, try to occupy yourself. Go out with friends, study, tutor a student in your class that may need help or something.
In regards to ways to keep in touch, I think a journal would be nice depending on both parties time and income. You could start it, maybe write a page or two with little doodles like ';I LOVE MY JEREMY'; or whatever, then mail it to him. Let him do what he wishes with it, and mail it back, etc.
This could work, but both parties must be involved and you must both know that this will not be permanent. If you two can make it through this, you will both see greater days. Best of luck!Long distance relationship advice for a college student?
Long distance can work with even the smallest form of communication. Many people during the past would write love letters back and forth and managed quite well. It's almost a lost art today with text messaging and whatever else. What I would suggest is just a simple web-cam arrangement(nothing sinister). That way you get to talk(or chat by keyboard) and see your beloved. The important thing is the commitment to keep the relationship alive, not the means whereby you do it.
How are you with Skype? It's less like the phone... I find it's best to have the kind of conversations where responses are immediate and natural, rather than solely relying on the extended communication of letters or email. Maybe try IMing each other or texting so it feels a little more like a real conversation. Having said that, I think long distance things are really hard, so whenever you can travel to see each other, do so!
I totally understand what you're want to do but unfortunately i Have to be honest with. Long distance relationship could work, the only problem is, it almost never work and young adults (college students) relationship. Believe it or not that's a good thing for you. Think about it. you only live once, you only go to college once in a life time. during those years you want to enjoy and have the as much fun as possible. I'm not telling you to go do crazy stupid things but you need to at least experience most things in college at least once. having a Serious bf in college almost never work. once you two go back home all hell returns. he gets to hangout wit X, meet new Friends. then the following year, most likely things will never be the same. through out college ppl normally date a total 6-12+ guys/Grls just cuz cuz so much happens. Not sweat babe. it's only college. go back home and have a good time. tell we'll see next school year. then go from there. have while home. years from now you will look back at past in laugh just like we all do. good luck. oh btw i think i deserve 10pts for this one :)
you need to make some plans to visit him a few times over the summer. if you can bring yourself to it, talk on the phone. if not, write him as much as you can.
