Long Distance Relationships and Making Them Work

So how do you make your long distance relationship work? Anyone who has experienced this type of relationship knows it is hard work for both partners.

My foray in to online dating has presented this very issue. I've been communicating with a few gentlemen through online dating sites such as Match.com, Singlesnet.com, SirenSingles.com and Yahoo Personals. I like the setup and search parameters that Singlesnet has to offer plus it's very user friendly.

Since I am a single available woman and not currently dating anyone this was the perfect time to give online dating a try. It soon became apparent that my search parameters were going to extend beyond my current locality and with online dating I was no longer hampered by a specific geographic region; at least not on my part. But, it did bring up the question of what to do about the distance if and when my date and I did decide on more than emails and phone calls.

My last relationship ended fairly badly due to distance both professionally and personally. He was over four hundred miles away and the stress eventually became intolerable. Of course, hind site is twenty-twenty and we both could have done things differently. I think this gives me a little insight to what I can potentially do differently this time if the opportunity presents itself.

• Discuss and understand the relationship well. Realize that distance does put a strain on the relationship.
• Get to know each other and try to be understanding of the other's needs.
• Communication is key. It must be done regularly in any way possible.
• Do things together. Weekend getaways can be spent together. It's not about how often but the quality time you do spend together.
• Little unexpected surprises mean a lot. Books, music, gift cards, etc. can show you care. One of my favorite things is sending online gift cards; especially when it's unexpected.
• Remind yourself that the time you spend apart makes the time you spend together that much more special.
• Don't argue by emails. The written word is a tricky thing when you're mad and can be taken the wrong way. When you're upset, always communicate face-to-face.
• No jealousy or drama is allowed. This is a relationship killer. Each person still has a life and needs social interaction even if the other isn't physically there.

How to Flirt With Girls - 3 Most Mind Blowing Flirting Tips You Should Not Miss at Any Cost

Flirting is a way of attracting attention and making advances towards a person to whom you yourself are attracted. There are ways and ways of flirting, but we shall begin with just three tips first....

Verbal Flirtation-

This is the easiest and safest way to flirt in the beginning. Talking enticingly, yet with a lot of confidence and assurance is the first thing to master. Your skills of communication and the art of pun are very important. The art of verbal flirtation should be subtle and not brazen or uncomely in any way. To give you an example- if the girl happens to mention that you have "taken her unawares", your reply could be- "no, I've not taken your innerwear"? The idea is to make her laugh. Using humor is an art, so learn to play around with words.

Complimenting a girl-

Be lavish and free when complimenting a girl. There is so much to compliment her about! It could be her smile, her way of pronouncing a word or even a phrase which she uses frequently. Grab every opportunity to compliment your girl. The color of her hair, the texture and even the style should be complimented. But see that the compliment is true and not false or she will see through that and assume that you are poking fun at her, which of course you surely would not be meaning.

Gestures-

Take care not to make obscene gestures. Girls don't appreciate that at all. Run your fingers gently on her forearm. That will send tingling sensations through her. These sensations in fact will indicate to her if she enjoys your touch and familiarity. If she does not 'shoo you off' you'll know you're on the right track. You could even attempt stroking her hair gently. But take care not to ruffle her hair because girls do not like that.

All these are preliminary stages of flirting. Most important of all is the verbal skills so do not forget to master them.
