The most and common example of this is the physical presence of both person involved (often when a problem arises) especially when we are talking about seas, oceans, planes and hours of trip, needless to say the cost of ticket. It may seem so hard on which most of the time LDR has been set aside by most of us because we have small faith in this kind of arrangement. But, when two people are committed on it then we shall erase the possibility that LDR will not work.

Well, I’m not talking about the commitment that you are thinking, what I’m trying to say is the attachment, the love, and the willingness of both parties involved.

Here are some tips for you and your partner to save your LDR:

1. Trust. One of the most important ingredients of a LDR. Listen to what others tell you about him/her but don’t let it bother you. If you trust him/her enough you’ll wait for your partner to tell you everything about it.
2. Honesty. Be honest most of the time. Never let him/her figures out that you had a date with a very sexy, hot, and good looking girl/guy. Don’t be afraid to tell him/her that, BUT don’t try to surprise him/her as well that your date will be in less than an hour. It’s not nice.
3. Communication. The most important thing. Never let a day passed by without any communication, it’s a bit expensive for both of you but you got to sacrifice.
4. Arrange a signal with him/her. Example, one miscall to let him/her know that you are ok, two miscall if you have no much credit/load and wanting to talk to him/her, three for accidents, etc. But don’t miscall a lot in a day because it’s actually annoying, and you are just letting him/her think that you can’t place a call because it’s expensive.
5. When you place him/her a call, don’t go crazy if his/her mailbox picks up your call. He/she might be busy and can’t talk to you as of the moment or his/her cell is off. Leave instead a very sweet message. Most phones/cellphones in western countries answers a call by mailbox after 4-7 rings.
6. Don’t be serious all throughout your conversation with him/her. It’s not advisable for both of you to talk about negatives of LDR. You are just paving the way for your future exit. Try to be humorous, but please not all the time as well.
7. Email. But please don’t send an email with a statement of what have you done the whole day (ei, what have you eaten today, that you rode on a cab to cut traffic, and stuff like that) because it’s actually boring to read. Instead write the important ones, and never forget the magic words, such as “I Love You,” “I Miss You,” etc. If both of you are committed to sending emails or text messages everyday those magic words might turn into an expression in which case try to add a flavor on it like “So Much” with extended “O or M, U or C”, whichever you prefer. I find it really sweet. Smiley might help.
8. Plan something exciting with your partner like spending 2 weeks of vacation in Bali after a year. Oopsss, exclude family and friends in your plan. Make it a very big date with your partner.
9. Compliment each other for the nice, sweet and thoughtful words he/she uttered
10. Be sensitive. Don’t just talk about your feelings. Listen as well.
11. No debates! If it’s healthy then go on, but most debates don’t have a nice closure. Learn when to shut up.
12. If you have misunderstandings don’t wait for him/her to say sorry or don’t wait for him/her to make the first move even if it was his/her fault. Remember you want to keep your LDR.
13. Chatting. Yes! This is the most efficient yet inexpensive way of talking to him/her. Don’t forget your webcam and your mic/speaker on. Don’t let anyone interrupt your conversation, get rid of your friends who buzz you all the time, think that it’s as if you are both alone and discussing something very important. Friends might get mad on not replying to them, but you can always show yourself offline to them.
14. One media at a time. Never try to text while you are already chatting with him/her. It’s actually irritating.
15. You can also date using your webcam and speaker. It may sound weird but there’s no harm in trying. It’s actually exciting.
16. Being a little naughty while talking or chatting with him/her will help somehow. LOL
17. Never promise something you can’t keep, but if you already promised something and you think you might brake, don’t hesitate to tell him/her. Be honest!
18. Discuss some problems in your relationship so you can both make a better solution. Remember, it’s not your problem alone.
19. Of course never forget to pray

God Bless Always and Keep it cool always!
