He said that way he can picture where I would be. If you have a camcorder ask a friend to record you talking to the camera. Record some important things that have been going on in your life so that he feels close to you, and can also see your face. As long as you love the person, and the person loves you, you have it set. Make sure you remind each other how much you love one another.
Love is the most important thing.
It's what keeps a long distance relationship going. I have found that counting down the hours until when we next see eachother helps greatly. So, my romantic hint would be to figure out how long between the next time the two off you have something speacial planned, like a date or special evening, and count them down. It's really marvellous surprise for a romantic lady. My boyfriend lives about 5 hours from me, but we make sure to communicate in some little way nearly everyday.
