highwaychile Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 My gal and I have 5 weeks left until we see each other again, but things have been getting really rough these last few weeks. What are things we can do to feel less lonely and actually have fun in the relationship? We know that we are going to start Skyping more, but is there anything else? Thanks!

CherryT Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Do you text during the day? My boyfriend and I send each other random pictures of landmarks, places, food, or whatever we're doing. It softens the distance and it's almost like they're apart of your everyday... even the small things. Link to post Share on other sites
PepperPotts Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 * If you have smart phones or Facebook, start a turn-by-turn game with each other (Words with Friends, SongPop, Draw Something, etc). * Use this time to get to know each other better-- take a day a week where you both get to ask each other two questions and go for it. * Find a TV show you both like and watch it at the same time. Text back and forth during it. * Have a distance date (it's fine to have friends join you on this if needed). Pick a movie you both want to see and go see it at the same time. Call each other right after to talk about it as if you saw it together. Link to post Share on other sites
ana0pera Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 whenever we're about to have a visit, we talk about what we're going to do when we're together. it's fun to think about when it's very close to happening! my roommate and her boyfriend (also in LDR) would do dinner dates--they would each make dinner and then eat it together while skyping. the time difference between my guy and myself is way too much for this to be really feasible, but we both love cooking and eating so sometimes when we're skyping i'll be cooking and he'll give me suggestions, which is cute and fun. We've watch TV together and it's fun, but I think we both enjoy doing that when it's something not too "deep." We will do it with sports or concerts, not shows we follow religiously (although in his case, he follows sports religiously ). We much prefer following the same shows and talk about what is happening, not necessarily watching it together. you can do this with books too. we also send each other articles or funny pictures we think the other would like via e-mail. A lot of couples play online games. That's not really our thing though, but I know A LOT of couples really enjoy it. Early on in our relationship, I was notorious for sending email questionnaires. About 10 questions, some serious some fun, that he'd answer first and then I would answer. It was really fun and an easy way to get to know your partner better. You can also do this on skype. There are a lot of lists online that you both can download and ask each other questions from it. Good luck!! Link to post Share on other sites
