As a certified long distance relationship survivor, I learned first hand that distance is brutal!

The constant longing, the repetitive “count downs”, and the empty feeling in your heart (and your bed) can really do a number on any couple.

Luckily, technology makes it easier than ever to stay in touch with your better half. No matter where you are; they are always just a text away. But with great technological advances come giant pitfalls, and the distance between, “I miss you”, and, “why haven’t you responded to my last 6 texts, you BLEEP?” is only a small stretch of the thumb away.

Is this sounding a bit familiar?

Then put away your sad face emoticons, and read on to learn how to turn your long distance texting tragedy into a successful love affair.

Read The Signals

Texting Advice That Makes the “Distance” Disappear.

Sure, you might be all tucked up in bed, ready for a steamy text-a-thon after a hard day at work, but that doesn’t mean he is. He won’t come out and tell you, but the subtle signals are there:
“Seems like my to-do list just keeps growing”
“Gonna check out a new restaurant with colleagues :-)”
“Throwing my gear on to play hockey”
You need to understand that messages like these are his polite way of saying “I’m busy”. So, show some restraint – there’s nothing like frequent emotional text blackmail from a girlfriend to ruin a guy’s night out (or a relationship).

Go Old-School Romantic

Chances are, if you’ve been together for a while, you’re probably so over cute pre-relationship texting sessions filled with sweet nothings such as:
“My pillow still smells like you”

“Wish I was cozy in your arms”
And your “hot texting sessions” du jour probably resemble something more like:
“Don’t forget to buy Aunt Betty’s whiskey in Duty Free”
“Traffic’s terrible. Take the train. See you at home”
Sorry, but forget the booze, you’ve got more important things to worry about right now! Be resourceful and use your time apart to explore the world of romantic texting. It’s sink or swim baby! There are only so many ways to text:
“I miss you :-(”
In fact, there is only one way. That was it. It’s been done. Don’t do it again.
Instead, be creative – text him in the morning to tell him exactly why, how, and how much you miss him. Be specific. Share intimate thoughts that you might be too shy to say in person such as:
“I had to force myself to walk out the door this morning. Missing you already”
“You have the power to make me feel happy and relaxed – even from afar”
Show vulnerability! Opening up and being real can arouse powerful feelings and is almost certain to prompt a positive reaction – such as a smile or maybe even a call.

Don’t Overdo It

It’s one thing to receive a text in the morning that makes you feel super special– it’s another to receive a text message every five minutes with a play by play of someone’s entire day. Nothing kills romance like too many roses – so if you find yourself texting him every single time you think about him, or replying the nano-second he texts you back, take a chill pill and do something else.
Put your phone away, do your nails, get some exercise. Bake a cake, sign up for a yoga class or make some new friends on Twitter! Just leave the poor man alone! He will love you (and miss you) more for it.

Remember the Little Things

One of the hardest parts of long distance relationships is the feeling of not being included in each other’s lives. Keep that feeling at bay by being there, at least by text, for everything.

Texting Your Partner and Getting What You Want

Texting Advice That Makes the “Distance” Disappear.

If you know that he has an important meeting at work, text him “good luck super star knock em’ dead” in the morning. Or, ask him about his lunch get together with his college roommates – just like you would if he were sitting with you at home. Show him that you don’t even need to be there to be the most thoughtful girlfriend ever.
The effort is worth it! Each sincere, thoughtful text message you send will make him feel loved and appreciated.
Relying on texts to get you through the rough bouts of long distance lovin’ can seem like a drag, but it doesn’t have to be. Treat it like a new and exciting stage in your relationship rather than just a pause, and you just might come out of it stronger – and more adventurous – then before. Happy texting!
