Though it seems almost unimaginable in this technology age, not long ago, people
\nwere severely limited in their choice of partners. Chances were that most would
\nmeet and marry (or become involved with) someone who lived nearby – if not
\nin the same city, in at least the same state. If you did meet someone from
\nfar away, it was probably in college or through work and the odds were seriously
\nstacked against you – unless you were willing to uproot.<\/p>\n
The internet has changed
\nall of that. Now, people are being attracted to potential mates who live so
\nfar away that they’d have to cross three time zones to visit. And why not?
\nIsn’t it silly to feel that everyone can find a perfect partner close to home?
\nThe days of falling for the girl – or guy – next door are virtually gone. But
\nlong distance love brings with it a whole new set of problems. At first, it
\nmight seem easy to keep a long distance romance active. You don’t have to dress
\nup, wash your hair or trim your nails very often. You don’t have to worry about
\nmaking dinner reservations or spending afternoons scouring the Yellow Pages
\nor newspapers for fun things to do on the weekends. There’s no conflict over
\nwhat radio station to set on the car’s dial or at what temperature to set your
\nhome’s climate controls. And most often, there’s very little in the way of
\narguments – because you don’t have to deal with each other’s idiosyncrasies.
\nHowever, in reality, keeping a long distance romance active, exciting (and
\nalive for the long term) takes a lot of time and imagination.<\/p>\n
Whether you’re
\ncommunicating on the net, via telephone\/text or old school snail mail, you’ll
\nfind that getting to know someone in any way other than face to face is a different
\nsort of experience with different highs and lows. You’ll want to communicate
\nin as many ways possible so as to get the fullest experience you can without
\na lot of face to face time. As you’re getting to know each other, be careful
\nnot to fall into the “fantasy trap” where you ignore (or fail to see) a relationship’s
\nnegative qualities. All involvements have them, and if you’re unable to recognize
\nany trouble spots, you may be living in dream land. This is symptomatic of
\nlong distance simply because it’s easier to hide (inadvertently most of the
\ntime) quirks and play up the romance factor. All of this said, a long distance
\nrelationship can be rewarding – and can work if both partners are willing to,
\npardon the pun, go the distance. Here are a few hot tips to keep your relationship
\ngoing.<\/p>\n
Be Different<\/b>
\nDon’t expect that your relationship will last if you do
\nthe same things that everyone else does. Sending flowers or poetic emails may
\nbe satisfying occasionally, but overdone they’ll point to a lack of creativity
\nand passion. For example, don’t just use the mail to send gifts that you bought.
\nSend postcards with a few warm words, comic strips that you found particularly
\nfunny and news articles that you found insightful. Doing this by mail and not
\non the net will add a nice element of surprise. Likewise, on occasion, plan
\non calling when you know an answering machine will pick up – then leave some
\nsubtly sensual comments for your paramour to return to. Constantly look for
\nother ways to stand out.<\/p>\n
Be the Same<\/b>
\nOften, long distance lovers feel
\nthat they’re missing out on many things that others take for granted in their
\nrelationships, and in some cases (like dinner and a Friday night movie) this
\nis true. But you can remedy the situation by bringing as much normalcy as you
\ncan to it. When you have problems at work, let your partner know about them
\nand look for their support. Learn to share the same thoughts and experiences
\nas you would if your love interest were physically present. Also, try to share
\nin popular culture experiences by making plans to watch the same television
\nshows or to rent the same movies at nearly the same time.<\/p>\n

\nJust
\nbecause you can’t be close to the person you feel affection for doesn’t mean
\nyou can’t go out on Saturday nights! Don’t feel obligated to turn down party
\ninvitations or evenings out with your coworkers. Share these experiences with
\nyour partner and be clear that they are welcome to do the same. If either of
\nyou become suspicious or jealous (beyond a little normal twinge of wishing
\nyou were there), the relationship may not be strong enough to last anyway.
\nKeeping long distance love lively takes a variety of skills and resources.
\nWhile your romance can be frustrating at times, it can also be deliriously
\nexciting on the rare occasions when you physically get together – not to mention
\nwhile you’re in the process of building that excitement. You may feel like
\nyou’re floating. Just remember, you’ve got to keep your feet on the ground
\nand assess your situation realistically. If you do, your long-distance relationship
\nmay just turn out to be long-term as well.<\/p>\n\n\n
