In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: No matter which method you choose, strive to make contact with your love at least once a day. You can communicate in a ton of waysvia email, texts, video calls, social media, or traditional phone calls. Keep in mind, this doesn't mean you have to stay connected all day, every day. Doing this can manifest into dependency and/or depression because no matter how often you talk you still can't be there physically. Simply decide on an agreeable amount of contact that works with both your schedules. Feeling like you are actually in a relationship comes down to keeping each other abreast to what's going on in your separate lives. Don't just tell your immediate family or close friends about your exciting new job or the funny thing that happened to you at the coffee shop, tell your long-distance partner, too. Be sure to keep the details you share reasonable. For example, it may be unnecessary and creepy to share what you eat at each meal or what you are doing every hour on the hour. No matter how often you talk to your partner, you will still miss out on certain things going on in his or her life. That's okay. This doesn't have to take away from the excitement. In fact, mystery can sometimes make things more exciting. Just be sure to keep one another abreast of the important things. Routine can be just as refreshing as spontaneity when it's exercised on the things that count. Come up with some way to reach out to each other that works for you both and stick to it. This gives you both something to look forward to each day and also allows you to maintain some consistency in your otherwise nontraditional relationship. For instance, maybe you two send silly pictures every morning when you wake. Or, you might commit to talking to one another each night before you go to bed. Sharing how you would love to go to this restaurant or that event with your partner lets him or her know that you long for time together. This also emphasizes that you are interested in exploring the world with this person. Saying something like "I really miss you and can't wait until next weekend when I get to see you" is perfectly okay. However, be sure to avoid pitfalls that could cause your partner to feel guilty. For example, it may not be a good idea to guilt-trip him or her by saying something like "I hate that you're always gone. We never get to do anything together." This comes off as complaining. Your partner likely wouldn't be long-distance if he or she had a choice, so refrain from throwing the situation in his or her face. This will likely ruin the excitement of your long-distance relationship.
Summary: Make contact every day. Keep one another up-to-date on daily activities. Have a daily ritual. Tell your partner how much you miss him or her.

In a spray bottle, combine 1 teaspoon (5 g) of baking soda, teaspoon (2.5 ml) of liquid dish soap, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of vinegar. Shake the mixture and allow it to bubble and settle. Then, fill the bottle the rest of the way with warm water. Always shake the bottle before using. This spray can be used in the kitchen and bathroom, on floors and walls, to clean the sink and refrigerator, and to wipe down appliances and other surfaces. Baking soda is slightly alkaline and mildly abrasive, so it can be used effectively as a cleaner around the house. For stains, tough jobs, and baked-on foods, make a baking soda paste by combining equal parts baking soda and coarse salt. Then, add a few drops of liquid dish soap and just enough water to stir the mixture into a paste. Apply the paste with a clean cloth, soak for 10 minutes, and then scrub the area before rinsing. This paste can be used to scrub a number of surfaces, including: Dishes with baked on foods Storage containers with sauce stains Teacups, coffeepots, and teapots with stains Microwaves and ovens with baked-on foods and grease Dirty grills Grimy showers and sinks You can use baking soda to absorb grease and oil in the kitchen, on dishes and appliances, and even in the garage floor or on the driveway. For oil and grease spills outside, sprinkle baking soda over the spill and leave it to absorb for about 10 minutes. Scrub the area with a brush and rinse it with a hose. Inside, sprinkle baking soda over the spill and wipe it with a clean cloth after 10 minutes. To remove grease from dishes, add a scoop of baking soda to the soapy dishwater and soak the dishes for 10 minutes before scrubbing clean. Baking soda can get your laundry cleaner by cutting grease, whitening, and eliminating odors. Just add 1 cup (220 g) of baking soda to the washing machine drum and wash your clothes using your regular detergent and washing settings. Baking soda is particularly good for deodorizing gym clothes, sports gear, cloth diapers, baby clothes, musty towels, and other stinky fabrics.

Problem: Article: OK, now he knows who you are. Don't worry if your first time talking to him wasn't perfect because you're now going to try to be around him more and start to pique his interests. Put yourself in his path when you know he's going to be somewhere. Be logical: would you at all have a sentimental interest in someone whose existence you are only marginally aware of? Well, that's the way he feels about you at the moment. Repeated exposure to you will increase his feelings for you. If he was attracted to you initially, the attraction will only increase the more he encounters you. Some good ways to spend more time around him are to start frequenting his local venues (bars, restaurants, book stores, etc.) or to try to get invited to some of the same social events as him. While looks definitely aren't everything, they can be a very big part of attracting a person initially. For this reason, it is important that you try to look your best when you are putting yourself in his way. Even if you are dressed casually, wear a little makeup so he'll think you are a natural beauty. Make sure you smell good too so that he'll associate you with smelling good in his mind. And remember that everyone loves a great smile. So remember to flash him a grin when you see him. If you have common friends (friends, not random acquaintances. Otherwise it'll be too suspicious), try being around them more and if he comes, talk to him. Answer what he says, react. Don't push yourself forward too much, but try to make him feel like you're a person worth knowing. If your two circles of friends don't cross, don't lose hope! Be strategical. If you see him alone at lunch, invite him to join you at your table. If you see him in the corridors, try having a conversation with him. Don't follow him everywhere he goes; don't join every club he's in. Be nice and cheerful when with him, but your encounters must not be forced. If he suddenly sees you everywhere, you'll scare him. This is one of the most difficult steps finding the right balance. But you'll manage eventually. Don't turn into a stalker, but be open and friendly. The feeling you must convey is of interest. That way, he'll feel comfortable if he wants to get to know you a little bit more. Some good behaviors to avoid are showing up where you know he'll be too often, calling or texting him repeatedly, liking or commenting on everything he does on his social media accounts, or visiting his place of employment too often. Remember: you can't force time. He'll come your way if you maintain those dispositions of friendly interest.
Summary:
Try to see him on a regular basis. Look your best. Use your connections. Don't frighten him.
