If you have an old important topic and you really want to bring it in you may wait until you meet face to face, but don’t bring it through texting or having some kind of video call.

3. Share Your Feelings

Because you are in a distant relationship it doesn’t mean you don’t express your feeling, when you do that you give more soul to the relation and it keeps things spicy so you don’t get bored or so. It also doesn’t mean to fake things, if you don’t feel anything don’t come up with a word or emotional feelings it will give your partner wrong message and you won’t be able to figure if you truly love him/her, you need to figure if you really want the relation to succeed or you just get used to that person.

Many couples don’t give importance to that part although it really has much impact on the relation, texting doesn’t give you any emotions or expressions it just words that you may understand according to your own feeling most of the time and not what the texted person said.

In video calls, you get to share expressions, see each other faces and have a deep meaningful emotional conversation you just need to figure the best app that works for you.
