Are you a long way from someone? And you can't tell wether your heart is in the relationship? Here's how you decide whether to keep them or not.

 

Steps

  1. 1
    Make sure you trust one another. This is one of the biggest parts of being in a long distance relationship. If there is no trust, find out why. Discuss the situation with your partner, and work together to solve your problems.

  2. Be willing to make sacrifices. A relationship that is not physical or where you do not get to see your partner every day can be very fragile. You must be willing to make sacrifices that others may not need to make in relationships where the couple see each other all the time.
  3. 3
    Make sure you love your partner. Do you love or feel a strong attraction to this person? This is necessary for a strong long distance relationship.
  4. 4
    Ensure that you are both willing to wait for each other. Many long distance relationships fail because people get impatient waiting for the affection they long for from their partner, so be sure that you are both willing to wait.
  5. 5
    Establish multiple ways of contacting each other in case your computers or phones fail.
  6. 6
    Know when to take some time away. With a rocky relationship, you might need time off to find yourself. If there is true love, you will be miserable without each other. A few days usually does the trick.
    • Be aware that this will not work in every case, and may make your partner angry. You know your girl- or boyfriend best, so you make the call.
  7. 7
    Get together as soon as possible. Hanging out in person will take away much of your natural human longing.

  8. Tips

    • Love knows no distance. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
    • If you think you love someone far away, you probably do.
    • It's much easier to love a person who is close, rather than 3 thousand miles away.
