Surviving Long Distance Relationships (LDR)
1. Schedule Everything
Spontaneity is hard. Schedule date nights, video calls, and visits. Having the next visit booked gives you something to hold onto.
2. Utilize Technology
Watch movies together (Teleparty), play online games, or use app-controlled toys to feel connected intimately.
3. Have an End Date
LDRs need a goal. "We are doing this for 1 year until I graduate." Indefinite distance usually fails.
4. Live Your Life
Don't sit by the phone. Go out with friends. A happy, independent partner is more attractive than a lonely, waiting one.
