if mishandled texting can put a lot of strain on the relationship but it
doesn't have to keep watching for my do's and don'ts of texting in a
long-distance relationship hi I'm Amy North a relationship expert
from the west coast of Canada is my mission to help women build their
relationships they want deserve with advice tips and tricks that provide
insight into men's minds in the modern dating world so how is texting different
in long-distance relationships the truth is that it plays a much bigger role in
communication because you're not able to get that one-on-one time as often as
you'd like I'm sure that I don't have to tell you that you need to see one
another whenever possible and ideally have a plan to be in the same place down
the line if you want this thing to last long-term that being said make the most
of your time apart by following these do's and don'ts for texting
long-distance don't overdo it the benefit of texting is that you can reach
each other 24/7 but this can also be a drawback if you're not careful a texting
texting can turn into a burden you don't want him thinking he has to always be
available to talk to you at a moment's notice with this in mind don't worry if
he doesn't respond for a few hours and update you on his every little thing
this is harder early on in a relationship but try to cut him some
slack I'm sure there are times when you're not able to respond right away
and you'd like him to respect that as well you want texting to be exciting and
fun not a chore if you err on the side of texting and less and it will also
make him miss you more while we're on the subject
don't say I miss you too much this is an easy trap to fall into because you're
both feeling this way and it can be romantic but if you overdo this phrase
and become it can become stale or even make him resentful after the fifth time
you say I miss you in a day then he may be thinking what am I supposed to do
about it instead mix up your language I can't
wait to see you again is a great way to spend that plus it puts things in a more
positive light it also invites a conversation about
you're going to do when you're back together go beyond texting try Skype
phone calls and FaceTime whenever possible this can be a daunting step but
it really does allow for you to communicate in different ways than
texting and it's always nice to mix things up if you're able to video chat
on your phone show him what he's been missing at home or take him on a tour of
the new city over Skype even if it's just to see where he's staying during
his trip share these moments airing these moments will bring you closer
together and give you things to talk about when you're texting later keep it
sexy for those in long-distance relationships it's important to maintain
all areas of your relationship that's why I often encourage my clients to sext
send nudes and have phone sex if they're comfortable this is only for those of
you who are in a committed relationship with someone you trust but if you can
get over the awkwardness it can really help you open up in ways that you
wouldn't if you were in the same place it's a good opportunity to get naughty
and go deep into fantasy role-playing knowing that it's all just make-believe
you also to remind them what they're missing if your guy is shy or clueless
try breaking the ice by asking what he's wearing it can be a funny role reversal
winking faces flirting and into endo are your best friends here it doesn't have
to be true trashy or too graphic if that's not your style but if you can get
them excited from a thousand miles away he'll be booking a flight home asap ask
unexpected questions you don't have to be completely random but what you want
to do is avoid having the same interaction over and over think about
some things that you don't know about him that you're curious about and make a
point to ask this will make him think and open up in ways that will lead to
more conversation and sharing if he starts to expect the unexpected from you
then he's going to be excited every time his phone vibrates compliment him in new
ways absence makes the heart grow fonder use this to your advantage by
complimenting him on things you never have before
think about what you miss about him think about how things are different now
