Do not believe those who claim that long-distance relationships are doomed. Your relationship with your partner depends on the two of you and how successful and happy it will be depends on how dedicated you are.
1. Reality and expectations
You need to set some ground rules. They will help you manage your expectations. Be clear and agree on how much you expect from your bond. Also, long-distance couples need ground rules so that they could feel protected from unpleasant situations and bad news. Be open with your partner and discuss whether it’s all right to go out with other people and enjoy partying at night clubs.
2. Doing similar things together
Online games can entertain you and, at the same time, make you closer to your partner. You can watch the same movie or a youtube video and then discuss the topic to see what your beloved one thinks about the matter. If both enjoy shopping, the couple can buy stuff online together. Have some extra money to buy an unexpected gift for each other.
