For a long-distance relationship to be successful, the couple needs to put in a lot of effort.
It’s easy to give in to temptation or just give up because unlike a relationship where you spend a lot of time physically with your partner, in a long-distance relationship, you do not see each other often. While there are many advantages of being in this kind of relationship such as having freedom and the time to follow your dreams and passions as well as be independent, you also have to foster that relationship and keep the love alive by adopting some habits so as not to get bored and tempted.
1. Communicate, a lot.
Every morning, send your bae a good morning message. Send him or her a good night message. Surprise them in the middle of the day with a voice note. These small messages go a long way to keep the relationship alive and make you long to see each other.

2. Write letters.
I strongly believe that letter writing is one of the old school dating habits that we need to bring back. There’s nothing as beautiful as reading a hand-written letter from your lover. Take time to write a letter to your lover telling them how much you appreciate them, how you cannot wait to see them again and all the things you plan to do together in the near future.
3. Sext.
To avoid temptations, sext and send each other sexy videos. That way, you will keep the anticipation high for when you get together again.

4. Gift each things that have sentimental value.
It doesn’t have to be something grand and expensive. Even something as simple as giving your girl your hoodie to remember you is sufficient. It’s the little things that count. You could also go an extra mile if you are in a position to, to make them feel appreciated.
5. Make future plans.
It’s always great when you have something to look forward to in the future such as a trip. You could plan a trip to an exotic destination where you will reunite and enjoy quality time together. This will keep you yearning to see each other again and keep things exciting.
