Teaches you how to communicate
Knowing that the person you’re talking to might not be able to see you and read your body language helps you effectively use your words. You learn to assess things and project your true intentions before you say them. This means you get to take the other parties feelings into consideration.
Teaches you independence
It’s hard to be clingy and attention seeking when you’re not in the same city with someone you love. Distance helps you find other meaningful ways to fill your life and pass the time. When your partner sees this independence he will be drawn closer to you and work harder to keep you.
Adds depth to the relationship
When you’re in a long distance relationship it is a lot more than just sex and physical intimacy. It gives you enough time to get to know each other on a different level and adds depth to your relationship.
