Long Distance Relationship tips/advice?

My boyfriend and I are in a long distance realtionship, I'm in California and he's in Arizona. We're going on four months and we have at least 10 more months of this. Please don't tell me that these relationships dont last, because I know that if we want it to, it will because he is worth it. Any tips/advice on how to maintain a strong, healthy relationship?Long Distance Relationship tips/advice?
My boyfriend and I dont live in different states, but we do live in different cities, and I promise you...if you want it to work it will! One thing that the both of us really enjoy is sending little surprise packages to each other...you can fill it with all of his favorite things, and stick little notes inside. Once when my boyfriend was sick, I made him a package filled with stuff that I thought would make him feel better...(his favorite candy, cough drops, tissues, etc.) and he said it made him feel better right away. If this is too costly, sometimes a little note or a letter in the mail is just as fun. Even though we can call and talk whenever, its still a nice surprise. :)





Also, Skype is a great way to talk to your boyfriend and actually get to see him at the same time. AND its FREE! :PLong Distance Relationship tips/advice?
Oh good, my kind of relationship! I will tell you right now, its not easy. They do last though, but its on a much more personal level and you need to be willing to accept things, but also give sacrifices for it all to work.





If your boyfriend is trippin about how this guy you work with or go to school with and he's jealous of that guy, you need to make an effort not to talk much about that coworker, even if he's a good friend, and even if your boyfriend has nothing to worry about because you love him with all your heart. The relationship will only work if you have the willpower and put the effort and heart into it that it needs.





My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 11 months now, long distance, and we've had a lot of crap to go through, but I'm sure it'll be easier for you, but it's hard at time. You just have to work at it.





Good luck!!! :]
OMG GIRL!!! I feel ya!!! haha.


I have a long distance relationship and J absolutely hate it when people say it wont work!!! I'm at like 4 and a half months and going strong! haha





Anyways, enough about me! lol


What id say is talk A LOT, text whenever, send letters, send pictures... whatever!!! I do all I can to talk to my boyfriend and those are some of the things. Mostly we just talk on the phone. Its always nice to hear the voice of the one you love! :)





Well good luck with everything, and dont let anyone tell you it wont work, because like you said, if you want it to, then it will.





BTW congrats on almost 4 months!!!
You have to communicate a lot, phone, emails, etc. If it's possible visit each other once a month or something. You both just have to provide enough reassurance to each other so you can stay together.
Email and speak alot on the phone. Can you visit eachother? If so, that's a bonus. 10 months is a long time, but if you really love eachother you guys can do this.





Good luck :-)
If you don't want me to tell you that these relationships do not last, then I won't.
Ive had a overseas relationship and it worked out just fine. Just make sure you call him everyday or just stay in contact with him as much as possible and yall should get web cams so yall can see each others faces
I was in a long distance relationship, then I moved to be closer to them :D

sometimes theese things work but most times they dont so dont just be so in to him an have no social life you don't kno what he is doing just think smart about the situation
