Have you met someone online and think he’s the one but you live miles, states or countries apart? If you are one half of a couple involved in a long distance relationship, you face a unique set of challenges. It can be difficult to find ways to keep your relationship from falling apart when you live so far away from each other.
The Cheshire Dating Site and other online dating apps are one way to find and meet singles with similar interests. But what if your new bff lives miles apart – what’s a gal (or guy) to do?
Long Distance Relationship Tips
Top tips for couples on how to stay connected and make your long distance relationship work include:
- Set clear boundaries
- Don’t only rely on technology to stay in touch
- Send occasional small gifts and letters
- Stay in touch using online apps like Date Cheshire Singles
- It’s okay if you don’t talk every single day
- Keep calls short and sweet
- Work on common goals such as getting in shape and doing a destination marathon at a location that is approximately halfway between your hometowns
- Schedule virtual date nights and eat dinner and watch an online movie together
- Never spend more than 3 months away from each other
- Tell people about the relationship – this helps make it real
- During your time apart, take part in your normal activities and hobbies
That first tip, setting clear boundaries is probably the best suggestion on how to make a long distance relationship work. You both need to know from the start – is this going to be an exclusive relationship or are you allowed to date other people?
What’s the Final Outcome of Your LDR?
Here’s another tip to consider – if the relationship isn’t going in the direction you hoped, it might be time to rethink what success means to you. Are you thinking that in 3, 6, 9 months time your bff with benefits will relocate to your town? Or does your long distance beau talk about marriage all the time but that’s not something you’re even interested in?
Again, this is where setting clear boundaries from the start will let you both be crystal clear on what kind of outcome you are both expecting from this relationship. If Mr. Prince Charming is on multiple dating sites, and has multiple long distance “relationships” this might be okay if you’re just looking for a bit of fun, but it’s probably a recipe for disaster if you think he’s your soulmate and life partner.
Mature Cheshire Dating sites let you look for and discover like-minded Cheshire singles. This is a great way to chat with people in your area for friendship, companionship and romance.
Beware of Catfishing When Talking Online
Don’t give out too much personal information before you meet your potential new friend in person. With the popularity of social media and online dating apps Catfishing is more popular than ever. Is the 22 year young lady from Scotland really who she says she is? You could be talking online with a 42 year old man – it happens.
