-
Have a
special telephone code. Perhaps at 8am every morning or 10pm every
evening you ring your other half and let her phone ring 3 times, and then
hang up. Your partner will either start or end her day knowing that
you were thinking about her.
-
Find out
what newspapers they read and arrange to have a small ad placed in it telling
her how special you think she is.
-
Write,
or ring, to the radio station she listens to in the car driving from work,
and ask their drive-time show to play “your tune” especially for her from
you.
-
Arrange
to meet-up at a distance half-way between you for a weekend if this is
logistically possible.
-
Buy your
partner something they can wear everyday, such as a watch or a necklace.
Make sure you hold this before you wrap it up so that they can touch it
and know that you touched it too. The physical connection of touch
is very important in a long distance relationship.
-
Never
leave your partner without first fixing up the date when you will be together
next. Something to work towards.
Although
the article refers to the “loved one” as she, this can work equally as
well the other way around.
Long
distances relationships are difficult. There are a lot of security
and trust issues, not to mention the lack of physical contact, but if the
chemistry’s right, and you’re meant to be together, then with a little
extra work, the relationship will last until it becomes a permanent relationship
with you both in the same place.
