7 Tips to make your long distance dating successful

healthy sex lifeA lot of long distance relationships fail because people don’t know how to deal with the changes that come from not being able to see each other on a regular basis. If you want to be successful with long distance dating then you need to make time for on-on-one interaction and ensure you keep a healthy sex life.

1) Don’t act too clingy
If you spend time away from someone you might feel the need to constantly be in touch and to make them remember you. People do this by constantly sending texts and emails to their partner and this can be overwhelming. The other person feels smothered and after awhile they’ll want some space which could end in a break up. It’s a good idea to notice how much they message you and model your messaging behavior on that. This way you know how much communication they’re comfortable with.

2) Give cybersex a try
A healthy sex life is an important part of a successful relationship. even though you can’t have sex in person you can still keep things fun by trying cybersex. Send flirty texts and naughty pictures to keep each other turned on and let the anticipation build. Set aside a time to play online and go all the way. It is possible to have a sex life when it’s a long distance relationship, you just need to find a way that makes it work for you.

3) Keep messages balanced between everyday things and sex
You don’t want all of the messages to be sex related because it’ll soon become boring. Keep a balance between sending naughty messages and messages about everyday things like how your day went, plans for the weekend and things like that. Ask them about the things that they’re doing and show that you’re interested in them as a person. Think about the kind of things you’d talk about if they were there with you and use that to decide what to write in your messages.

4) Know what your partner is okay with
At the beginning of the relationship talk with your partner and decide on boundaries for each other. Make sure you both agree on what’s okay to do and whether it’s an exclusive relationship or if it’s an open relationship. By knowing what the boundaries are there’s less chance of someone getting upset because their partner did something wrong.

5) Use multiple ways to communicate
There are lots of ways to keep in touch so use them. Send a little text so they know you’re thinking of them, write an email and update them on what’s going on in your life, talk on the phone and maybe try phone sex and Skype so you can talk one-on-one. Each of these things help build the relationship and keep it strong while ensuring there’s enough variety to keep things interesting.

6) Make time for them
No one likes feeling that they’ve been forgotten by their partner or that they’re not important enough to keep in touch with. If you’re lazily about keeping in touch then it’s just a matter of time before the two of you drift apart or someone feels like it’s no longer worth the effort to be in a relationship. Set aside time for them and if you’re online with them make sure you’re not distracted. Stay focused on them and show them that you’re still interested in them.

7) Be committed
Be committed to the relationship and don’t treat it any differently than you would a normal one. Respect their needs and wants, take time to give them some one-on-one attention by texting, email and camming and don’t go out with or sleep with anyone else if you know your partner wouldn’t be okay with it. This is a relationship and you need to be committed to it if you want it to be successful.
