Is anyone else out there in a long distance relationship? I am and have been for about a year and a half. I love him sooooo incredibly much :) I don't get to see him very often because we go to school about five hours apart from each other. And next year he will be in florida while im in california :( a whole country practically between us! Anyone have any advice on how to keep the sparks flying with being so far apart?

Hi veggie.I think we are on the same boat.My girl friend and i has known each other since we were in high school.Three years ago,we have to be apart for our different universe,that time,i was really tough and so do her.I fighted a rather long time to accept the reality,fortunately we are still in contect and keep a good relationship.We still love each other,and i know when we graduate,i would get marry with her and i believe we will get the real happiness. I believe if the love real exits,the distance would not be problem. best wishes to you .

Well, yes me and my love are at different parts of country in India, this is because of our work. I always long to see her..but both of our works are so busy. But we manage to spend the weekends, no matter how far or how much time we spend. You know the we hardly meet just one hour, but we consider that as golden moment. And more over that one hour is our lifes best part. So you too fix a day atleast in a month and fly to him..for sure you wont feel tired!

it is very difficult to be in such situation because temptations are in every corner, just trying to find a way to destroy a relationship.constant communication is the very important thing to keep the fire burning.

I'm in a long distance relationship right now. He's in VA, and I go to school in NYC. I love him, too. The best thing is that we talk all the time. We text quite a bit, he calls me when he's on his way too or from work, we chat online at night. It takes some work, but we love each other, so it's not a huge problem. We talk about our future, when we'll get to be together. That helps, too. My sister goes to school in NYC, as well, and her boyfriend is in Michigan. They Skype each other when they can, and see each other when they have breaks at school. It's a bit difficult for them, I think, but that's mainly due to the fact that my sister is veeeeery busy at school.

I've been in a long distance relationship way back 17 years ago and up to now though we are already married :D...his job is taking him away from me for the span of 6 months, he is traveling around the globe while I am here at home with our kids, well, back to the time when we were still lovers when there were only limited ways to access each other easily and quickly, our only means of communication then were through phone calls, occasional emails, and yes the letters that we sent each other, he preferred hand written letters/notes than emails, he loved the idea that he can smell the ink of the pen and the stationeries I used in writing him letters. But keeping the sparkles alive now a days are possible since there are many ways already to reach him, you can now send him messages via cell phone and etc. Today's generation has a lot to offer to keep in touch with our loved ones from far side of the globe. And you are too fortunate now than us during our time, but we made it before, therefore you too can make it now and that would be possible also if you have love in your heart for each other, Love conquers all! Distance is nothing if you have true love in your heart.

actually, its not the same as mine but i know how it feels to live far from the one you love. I think, first, both of you should have faith with each other that's the main thing why relationship keep going. Second, make sure that you always have time with each other through chat,phone calls and etc.. and last, always tell him how much you love him no matter how far he is. :)

Just keep the communication my dear...Communication is part of the relationship aside of understanding like open communication right?!. Nowadays, there's a lot way to communicate to our love one's if they are apart from us, there's Cellphone you can always call or text him. You can also email or chat with him. what's important is you can communicate and also understand each other. And I forgot, TRUST the person you LOVE =). Stay smiling my dear =)
