feeling really far away.” –

3. Set some ground rules to
manage your expectations.
Both of you need to be clear with
what you expect of with each
other during this long distance
relationship. Set some ground
rules so that none of you will do
things that will take the other
party by surprise. For instance,
are you two exclusive? Is it
alright for the other person to go
on dates? What is your
commitment level? It’s better to
be open with each other about all
these things.
4. Try to communicate
regularly, and creatively.
Greet each other “good morning”
and “good night” every day —
this is a must. On top of that, try
to update your partner on your
life and its happening, however
mundane some of the things may
seem. To up the game, send each
JF mag!
other pictures, audio clips and
short videos from time to time.
By putting in this kind of effort,
you make the other person feel
loved and attended to.
5. Talk dirty with each other.
Sexual tension is undoubtedly
one of the most important things
between couples. Sexual desire is
like a glue that keeps both parties
from drifting apart. Not only is
sex a biological need, it is an
emotional one as well. Keep the
flames burning by sending each
other teasing texts filled with
sexual innuendos and
provocative descriptions. Sexy
puns work pretty well too.
Have a goal in mind.
“What do we want to achieve at
the end of the day?” “How long
are we going to be apart?” “What
about the future?” These are the
questions you two need to ask
yourselves. The truth is, no
couple can be in a long distance
