Whether your profession keeps you from being in a serious relationship or you've been hitting it off with a guy but you have to move cities for some time, you will have to be creative in finding ways to make the relationship flourish.
Many people try to make a relationship work over long distance and while that cynical voice in your head might tell you it isn't worth it, there are some things that you can do to get that guy to fall in love with you in spite of the miles that keep you apart.
Present yourself well
If you are really into him, take the time to make yourself look good. Clean up your social media profile and remove anything that resembles promiscuity. While it can be tempting to put your "merchandise" on display, you will risk looking like you're still trying to make yourself look available to other men in his eyes if you do. Remember, he is probably looking for someone to spend his life with instead of just a one-night stand so it's advisable to put your best foot forward.
Talk
Talk frequently, without smothering. It's the very best way that the two of you can bond after a day at work (or even during). Write him a couple of letters or emails to keep in touch. These days it's so much easier to communicate with the help of the internet. Simply whip out your smart phone and start video chatting with him every now and then. It makes for a more personal connection than talking over the phone since you get to see his reactions to the things you say. Aside from looking cute and flirting with him, you can also talk about deeper topics like your goals and desires. This helps determine whether or not you make a good match. Your sincerity might just even make him fall for you.
Just chill
You may become anxious for the next call, and it might seem that the fate of your relationship hinges on every single one. Relax. That's not the case at all, and your man may even find it attractive that you have the ability to wing it whenever things don't go as planned. His attraction towards you will be more genuine if you don't stress about the whole thing. Be confident, be yourself, and go with the flow.
Keep it fun
You don't have to spend every minute on the phone talking about each other's feelings. Play games online, share stupid pictures from the internet, or exchange childhood pictures with each other. These activities make your bond stronger and may even make the both of you more comfortable with each other when you finally meet. Also, it helps to look at fun date ideas and plan for one when the day comes. Men like a fun-loving lady who knows when to turn on her goofy mode.
Take your time
Long-distance relationships take much longer to flourish compared to traditional ones. Ironically, one of the things that makes a couple grow closer to each other is conflict, and there isn't much of that in a budding long-distance relationship. You don't want to spoil any minute arguing over the phone so you tend to avoid conflict, therefore it will take a while before the both of you can develop a deep emotional connection. But don't worry, you'll eventually get there if you give it time.
Long distance relationships may not be the ideal way to get someone to fall for you, but it's possible if you have the right mindset. Just take a breath, be yourself, and everything should fall into place if you're a good match. Just don't force it.
