Keeping a Long Distance Relationship Exciting!

If you are in a long distance relationship, how do you stop it getting boring or monotonous? How do you keep the relationship alive and exciting, keeping your partner coming back for more, time and time again, despite the extended time you may be apart?

The trick is, communication! In a perfect world, you should ideally communicate with your partner every day, at the very minimum, every other day.

Obviously, we don't always have that privilege, with our busy lives, but there are so many different ways that the two of you can keep in contact. Not only can you phone your partner, but you can send text messages when you are pushed for time, just to let them know you are thinking about them.

Or you could send them a fax, e-mail or letter. With that many different ways, there really isn't any excuse! If you have the Internet at home, you could always spice things up a little bit with a web cam! Be as imaginative (and as naughty) as you like!

It is important, in long distance relationships to, first to establish, and then maintain the emotional connection you have, therefore needing constant communication to let each other know you care.

You could send each other cards and flowers or small gifts. It doesn't have to be expensive, lavish presents, just a little something to prove you care.

You could do things to pursue your common interests. If you enjoy going to the cinema together, arrange a night where you go to the movies, obviously separately in your separate locations, and watch the same film.

Or you could sit down and agree to read the same book, or buy the same album. This gives you something that you both enjoy and can talk about afterwards, meaning that you won't just be saying - I miss you everyday on the phone.

The art of keeping a long distance relationship alive is by using your imagination. Obviously, you know what your partner enjoys doing or reading. You could send each other books or albums of genres that you particularly enjoy. It pays to be creative.

The other thing you can do to keep your relationship alive, is to make the time you do spend together extra special. Don't just go out drinking or clubbing or doing the things you would normally do separately.

Take each other for romantic dinners or picnics if the weather permits. Enjoy each others company, and obviously, catch up on the sexual side of things that you may be missing out on!

It really is down to your own imagination to how you keep the relationship going. Play with your likes and be as suggestive and as playful as you like! You make the rules!
