Frequently asked questions
3. You Value Communication
If you want your long-distance relationship to be successful, then you and your partner have to be aware of the importance of good communication. It’s very important to be in touch with each other through e-mails, webcam chats, phones or anything else. This will strengthen your bond and it will give you a sense of togetherness.
4. You Plan Surprises for Each Other
If you and your loved one love to plan surprises for each other because you like bringing a smile to each other’s faces as often as you can, you might handle all the challenges that a long-distance relationship can bring.

5. You Take Your Relationship Seriously
If you want your long-distance relationship to work, then you and your partner need to take it seriously. You have to keep your relationship a high priority. For example, if your partner calls, then you should try to answer them, no matter how busy you are. Return their texts as soon as possible. Basically, do everything in your power to show them how important they are to you.
6. You Love to Travel
If you are a big fan of traveling, then a long-distance relationship might be perfect for you since you will often have the chance to just hop on a train, plane or car and go visit your significant other.
7. You Are Not Jealous
If you are not a jealous individual and if you and your partner don’t have any trust issues, then you two can handle a long-distance relationship. Jealousy can ruin any relationship, especially the long-distance ones since as you are not always around your significant other, you don’t know what they are doing or with whom they are.

Taylor: Hey guys
MiddleMe: Open dialogue, Honesty and Committed are what made my LDR work out successfully, we have since closed the distance and happily married!!
Evelynn: One point to add: if you are the kind of person who needs a lot of physical contact (i.e. Hugs and kisses) and you feel bad about your relationship without it, then this is not a good idea. I've had a long distance relationship but felt so off during the whole time because it was leaving me with the feeling that a big part was missing. Physical contact isn't everything, true, but it still is a big part. For me it just didn't work out
Shilpi: Nice tips :)
anyaredhead: I've met a guy online who lives in US..he'll move to Mitchigan soon.. and I live in a tiny European country Slovenia.. we're talking on messenger constantly..we call eachother babe..:) we don't know yet how far we will allow that to go, but we really want to meet eachother.. I'm that kind of a woman, that needs kisses and hugs.. but It's worth to try. What do u think? We're so far away from eachother
Kayla_elise_xo: Ok well I met this guy before and we still talk. He lives in a different state but I've met him before..I really want to trust him but I'm not sure if I can because he's a lifeguard at a water park and there's always girls around and I feel like he's gonna fall for another girl and then I'll get jealous..and I try my hardest to control my jealousy but it's hard coz I have jealousy problems..help 😔
Kristina: About to enter a long distance relationship with my high school crush. He noticed me 5 years later! Kind of nervous. He seems serious about this giving the fact he's never been in a long distance relationship before. Fingers crossed! I think he's the one
