Long distance relationships can be wonderful and afford you with opportunities to meet people you never would have otherwise, but they also pose their own unique sets of challenges. What are some tips for dating online?

?I recently met this amazing guy online. I am absolutely head over heels for him, but he lives all the way across the country, and it?s going to be a while before either of us has the money to travel and meet. I?m very serious about this though (it?s been several months already), but not completely sure how to deal with the distance. Do you have any tips for maintaining a long distance relationship over a long time period??
Hi Juanita. More people than ever are meeting their significant others on the Internet, so you are hardly alone in this question. Distance can be an extremely difficult thing to deal with, but for many people finding the right person is worth it. If you?ve turned to the Internet for dating, I?m guessing you?ve already realized that the odds of meeting someone wonderful in your hometown aren?t as high. So I think that closing the emotional distance with another person can sometimes be worth putting up with physical distance for a while.
Regular, frequent contact is very important for dealing with long distance. You both should have a clearly stated expectation of how often you expect to be able to talk online or on the phone. One reason many long distance relationships don?t make it is that one partner expects to talk once every few days, while the other expects to talk every night. It doesn?t mean either partner is less committed?just that you need to understand each others? schedules and needs.
Clear communication is important in any relationship, but online all the subtext we rely on in person is removed, and that means communicating openly is more important than ever. You and your boyfriend should both make your expectations perfectly clear about not only the short term, but the long term. Do you have a goal for how soon you want to meet? Are you both working toward that possibility? What kind of a future do you plan together? Misunderstandings can happen here too, unless you both are open. Sometimes a relationship falls apart when one partner realizes the other didn?t plan to move in with her someday or thought that she was going to move in with him instead, and so on.
It?s all too easy with long distance partners to slip into an illusion instead of exploring the reality of who you both are and what your plans for the future will be. Don?t let those questions go unasked or unanswered. You both owe each other clarity, perspective, and openness. With those three things a long distance relationship may succeed. With respect and love, it may flourish and even grow into an offline relationship?if that?s what you?re ultimately both looking for. Good luck!
