1) Technology Is Your Best Friend
In long-distance relationships, we rely more heavily on technology to stay connected, in some ways tech allows us to communicate verbally even more than couples who see each other [often], but sit in the same room not interacting at all.

2) Do Stuff Together Even Though You’re Apart
Just because you aren’t physically in the same place doesn’t mean you can’t have fun together. Plan a movie night via Skype together, play online quizzes or games, and discuss the results to spark new and interesting conversations.

3) Stick to a Schedule
Timing matters, especially when your time together is precious. To keep long-distance relationships going you need to actually see one another, know when you’re going to see each other. Trust me you don’t want to go long periods without seeing each other.

4) Set Clear Rules and Boundaries
Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want your partner to see/do on SM. Do your best to make your partner feel unthreatened. You don’t need constant approval for every social interaction, but you should set clear rules that work for the both of you

5) Communicate regularly and creatively.
Greet each other every day— this is a must. Update your partner on your life and its happenings, no matter how little it is. Send each other pictures, audio clips and short videos from time to time, this makes your partner feel loved

6) Avoid “dangerous” situations
If you already know that going to the club or going drinking with your group of friends late at night will displease your partner, then you should either 1. Not do it or 2. Tell your partner beforehand so as to reassure him/her.

7) Do similar things
Recommend books, TV shows, movies, music, news etc with each other. When you read, watch and listen to the same things, you get to have more topics in common to talk about. This is a good to create some shared experiences even though you are living apart.

8) Have a goal in mind
What do we want to achieve at the end of the day?” “How long are we going to be apart?” “What about the future?” These are the questions you two need to ask yourselves.
The truth is, no couple can be in a long distance relationship for forever.

9) Stay honest with each other
Talk about your feelings, fear, insecurity, jealousy, whatsoever. If you try to hide anything from your partner, that secret will sooner or later swallow you up from inside out. Don’t try to deal with things all by yourself. Be open and honest

10) Know each other’s schedules
It’s helpful to know when the other person is busy/free, so that you can drop a text or make a call at the right time. You wouldn’t want to disturb your partner when he/she is in the middle of class or halfway through a business meeting.

11) Keep track of each other’s social media activities
Like each other’s photos and post on Twitter, Instagram etc. Tweet each other. Tag each other. Share things on each other’s walls. Show that you care. Be cool about stalking each other.
