Determine when you are most awake, attentive, and able to be present on long-distance dates if you are in a long-distance relationship that spans time zones. Take this into consideration when scheduling times to connect. When my husband and I first started dating, we were living in Los Angeles. We would talk all night every night because there was no such thing as sleep back then! Now that we're together, we make sure to call each other at least once during the day even if it's just to say hello or wish each other a good night's sleep. The more you can do this the better because it shows your partner that you care enough to stay active in his/her life even when you aren't physically together. Time zones can be tough but if you communicate and plan things out ahead of time, you should be able to manage them.
