Who you chose to date is based off of many things. You want to pick the person who you want to spend time with. However, distance makes spending time together very hard.
Distance is defined by the amount of miles in between two objects. In this case, the objects are people. If you are a college student that can add more miles to the total. Or maybe you go to same the college, but holidays and summer when you go back home the distance is longer than the usual five mile walk to each others dorm or apartment.
You have to start factoring not only one another's schedules, but the time it takes to travel the distance. Things have to be planned in advance to keep frustration and angst to a minimum. Come on ladies, how often are we late? We spend those minutes like they are unlimited because once they see us, they are not going to complain about waiting that long. It is a different story when you're late due to lack of planning. If you are running just a smudge bit late then adding/ factoring in the traffic you are about to endure.
I have learned distance is not anything but a thing. It is just a detail you have to overcome. You may have to spare seeing them everyday or every weekend. This seems like a tragedy nowadays. You always see those couple's labeled as "goals" and envy them. People always want something because it looks better. There is no need to throw out a perfectly good relationship because "the distance is becoming too much". Just remember we live in the 21st century! Skype and Facetime can be our best friends when it comes to long distances.
The two key points in every relationship is Communication and Trust. However, with long distance relationships those are often the two hardest elements. Communication is absolute number one. If there is a lack of communication it causes issues within the relationship. How else are you supposed to work something out without communication? You simply just have to get to know the person and put more effort and attention to conversations. Distance in relationships means you may see the person less. It is easy to communicate with someone you see everyday, but it is very hard to communicate with busy schedules. Trust is another key element. Trust is a tough element to grasp. It is so easily lost and broken. If you can not trust the person the mind races the longer you are apart.
Relationships are unique and one of a kind. No one can sit down and write a guide to explain how to make things work. Just remember, distance is not anything but a detail.
