Be a great long distance lover

Love strongly enough to be respectful even when you are frustrated, disappointed, or angry. Do not feed on or encourage negativity regardless of its source. Try not to be silly or serious all the time. Experience the full spectrum of human emotions over the course of your relationship.

Chat on the computer and talk on the phone with your beloved, but also be responsible enough not to run up your phone bill. If both of you use mobile phones, subscribe to the same service and get free mobile-to-mobile minutes.

Make your long distance lover as much a part of your everyday life as you possibly can. Proudly introduce your long distance lover to others who are near and dear to you. You can do this online and over the phone as well as in person.

Most people have negative opinions of long distance relationships, however, if you have family or friends who are understanding and supportive of your long distance relationship, look to such people for a listening ear and encouragement.
