Long Distance Relationship

We all know that long distance relationships do not come easily to everyone. This is one of those things that is not fit for everyone. Being in a relationship is not the problem, it's making it work even with the distance separating both of you.

Long distance relationships, according to most people, are more or less short lived. True, there have been a number of relationships that didn't turn out well in the end but that's just looking at one side of the coin. If you just take a minute to look around you, you will notice that 4 out of 10 people will say that they are indeed engaging in a long distance relationship. However, to make such a distance work for you and your partner, you both have to follow a long process.

First of all, you and your partner should start with yourselves. Take the time to assess whether or not you are both ready to take on such a relationship. See if you guys can withstand the distance, or are willing to go that extra mile. Also, take into consideration if you are going for a short or long term relationship.

Once you've both figured out that you are willing to be in this kind of relationship, plan things out. This would include how you two are going to go about the relationship. Keep in mind your communication options. It is always good to have a good channel for communication. Without which, any relationship will fail. Also, don't forget about the trips both of you are going to take. At this point, it's going to be an alternate talk of "his or her place".

Next, you guys should think about giving time for the other even when in a busy schedule. Why? As mentioned in the previous paragraph, you should keep your communication options in mind. Communication is one good way of keeping your relationship. It may not always make your relationships happy (because at some point you may be fighting) but a good deal of effort comes a long way, especially to girls. If one of you promised to meet with the other or give him/her a phone call, do it. Don't make them doubt you and your promises.

Lastly, don't expect too much. Expectations are going to be deadly killers. Then again, don't throw away every single one of our expectations. If you have to have expectations, don't let them be too high. Be smart. Be realistic. It doesn't only help you a lot, it also helps save you the price of a heartbreak.
