I know this is gonna sound cliché but it takes a lot of trust, patience, and communication. I think trust is the most important here (or in any relationship). Admittedly, I’m the jealous type, because I have issues with wanting to be in control all the time. It was hard for me to rein in the impulse to selfishly keep her to myself. I realized that this lady was in it for the long haul with me. If I wanted to keep it that way, then I have to let go of my selfish impulses and realize that the only things I CAN control are the things I do and say. That being said, if you’re thinking of a long distance relationship, then you’re gonna have to trust this person; you can’t control who they want to be friends with or who they talk to.

The patience part comes in close second to trust. There are times you’re probably not gonna hear from them for hours or days cause they have their own life. Again, a lot of trust has to be given here specially if you’re in different time zones like I am with her. When I’m just about to sleep (@3am cause I’m an insomniac) she’s already on her morning routine in her time zone @5am.

Which takes me to communication. Set dates and times that are convenient for you two. Find activities you can do together (there are plenty in this day and age of technology and social media).

Oh and she’s my better half. I mean that in every way. She complements my personality, she’s my muse, my best friend, and my soulmate… So I guess what I’m saying is that a little attraction to the person goes a long way lol.
