Long Distance Relationship Advice - Please?

Here's the story. Im 19, and have been with my girlfriend in a long distance relationship for 5 1/2 months now. From day 1 it has been distance. We've kept it alive by communication and constant reafirmation of our feelings for one-another. We've been able to see each other about 4 times in that time, and those times have been wonderful.





My girlfriend has her final exams these next few weeks, so I know that its a tough time for her. Im going to be there all the way, supporting her when she needs it. I know we wont talk as much these coming days, due to her working. Im fine with that.





I see a real future in this relationship, as does she. We dont want this to end once we both go to college and continue the trend of a distance relationship. Any advice on how to maintain this relationship for a long term would be great, and also anything in general about serious relationships.

For about the first year and half of our relationship my boyfriend and I lived anywhere from 1 to 4 hours apart. It's hard but you can make it work.





For us having cell phones on the same carrier was a life saver. We had to pay a little extra to have unlimited calls to other people on our carrier but that way we were never counting minutes when we could talk. It also saved a lot in overages. Knowing that we could call eachother whenever it was convienant and talk for as long as we wanted was a huge relief.





That being said remember that being far apart is going to make it hard if not impossible to know everything that is going on in the other person's life. You have to trust eachother and give eachother space. Don't put your life on hold. Have fun ...hang out with friends. It's easy to feel like you have to be down becasue you can't be together.





Do small things to remind her of you. My boyfriend stuck a note on a mirror I used to put on my makeup. I saw the note everyday and it always made me smile. It doesn't have to be a grand gesture to be something really meaninful.





I wish you the best of luck with your relationship. After 1 1/2 half apart my boyfriend and I are finally in the same place for the first tiem in our relationship and I truely believe that we are stronger because we had to find ways to deal with the distance.Long Distance Relationship Advice - Please?
I really dont think that long distance works out. But keep trying anything is possible. Just keep calling each other every day and be honest with each other.
try to live together after college
It takes ALOT of decipline and love to keep it going. GOod luck
