So me and this girl have known each other for a long time. We used to hate each other and then we became good friends. We had our fights and stuff but we always made up eventually. Well i have liked her more than a friend for a while and i recently found out that she has liked me the same way to but was afraid to tell me. So we started going out about 3 weeks before school ended and we were to end it when she moved away at summer. The only problem is i am in love with her and she loves me also and we both don't want to end it. She says shes happy being with me even though she is far away right now and we will be seeing each other soon for a little bit. So i guess my question is how can i make sure this lasts and i don't lose her because of the distance? Thanks for helping this has really been on my mind lately and any help is greatly appreciated.

regular contact, not excess though that you seem you want to know where she is and what she is doing all the time. Be interested in any hobbies she takes up, maybe send her a little present you to say that you are thinking of her

Long distance relationships can be fun, only if you put in effort and are sincere to each other. First always remember to be in touch. Try writing mails to her or letter, I personally feel letters are better (they make a person feel wanted and loved). So write letters to her, not everyday but a weekly letter or once in a fortnight which ever is convenient. But make sure the letter does not appear as if you are trying to force yourself on her. Send flowers and chocolates sometimes. Go to meet her SURPRISEEEEE! :D Internet has many things which can me sent through e-mail like e-cards, pics, poems etc. etc. Do send these things, girls really like it. I hope this all works for you. Take Care and have fun!

Being in Love - Love is all about hard work
Being in love is easy. Staying in love is hard. How are you going to sustain that feeling will all depend on the both of you. You need to keep the feeling alive. So how do you do it? The two have to keep in touch always. Communication is always the key to a great relationship. You both need to commit to each other that you will try to make it work. Loving is a celebration. So, celebrate and be happy.

my friend...first up enjoy the feelings that both of you are experiencing at the moment. it is great feeling to be loved in life. i would suggest that you keep in high touch with each other and pay her visits every now and then. Make sure, you meet her on special occasions like valentine's, christmas,etc. Make sure you do things which allow you to stay in her mind. As they say, "Out of sight is out of mind". I a m saying this not to discourage you, but for you to just be wary of it. All the very best to both of you.

distance doesnt bothers lovers.if u both are truly love with each other then dont worry about it u will be in touch.does she know that u loved her.i have heard of people loving man in other country jails.so distance is nothing .if u r sure that she felt the same thing about u then one day you guys will make a gr8 family.wishing you good luck

an easy way to make it work is by getting a webcam so you can continue to see each other. again like said before you have to keep it interesting and hopefully see each other when possible.

If it's true love, you will work it out. Distance shouldn't keep you apart forever. There will come a time when you two get back together if it's meant to be. Good luck. Hope things work out for you two.

Hello fried, I've had a lot of friends who are in long distance relationship and they have been successful too. Of course there have been unsuccessful ones but let's concentrate on the positive side only. While you two are in different cities, you can keep in touch via phone or the internet and at the same time you can focus on your career, which should be your priority right now. And, may be five years down the line both of you will have a good university degree and a job and then you can settle down.

It was like a love story movies you have there Kritz7861 (i forgot which one is it)... I ever said this to one of Lotters who's had a distance problems just as you do with its love... "A mountain will not gonna runaway to catch'.. I mean, if it's true she was made to become with you, then you shouldn't be worried... Love always found its way dude .

Like what they said, call her or text her regularly, so you always keep on touch with her. Never get tired of her, show her that she really mean to you. Even though there's a distance between you and her, it doesn't matter, what matter is you love each other.

I am in a long distance relationship, and have been for quite some time now (will be 3 years soon). My boyfriend and I talk regularly and the trick is to be creative with the relationship. Since we can't see each other physically all the time, we still have dates over the phone. We do movie dates and watch DVDs or movies on tv at the same time and act like we are watching it together. [my friends pick on me about this but it works for us and it keeps things interesting]. We also play games and we visit each other obviously. You just have to have trust and regular communication and things will be okay if you work on it.

long distance relationship is really hard for me.but since you are in that situation,you must trust one another thats one thing very important to a relationship.call her every night and day to know or to follow up in her daily life.talk much and give more effort in you relationship.share your happenings in your life so that she will not be worried,or tell her much often that you miss/love her much.both of you must be strong in your relationship.put God in your relationship.come what may,if your meant for each other.happy mylotting!
