Long Distance Relationships can get very hard especially around the holidays… you know the ones I’m talking about, where everyone is focused on “love and togetherness.” Sometimes those feelings of missing out and wanting to be with your significant other, especially during these times, can get super overwhelming. Lucky for you, I’m here to help!
Here are some ways to feel closer to your “special someone” if you can’t meet up for Valentine’s Day!
- Send small, personal gifts: Candies, pictures of you two together, and a handmade card can go a long way. Also, spraying your card with their favorite scent of yours would mean a lot to them when they receive the card.
- Skype dinner date: Arrange to eat dinner together while video chatting. Make it seem more authentic by coordinating the same dinner and dressing up as if you’re actually going out.
- Skype movie date: Get comfy in bed, pick a movie, and count down multiple times trying to perfectly sync your movies.
- Push Valentine’s Day back: Maybe talk about saving Valentine’s Day until you can meet. Even though it’s traditionally celebrated on the 14th of February, nothing says you can’t celebrate any other day!
Distance can definitely put a damper on relationships, but if you go with any of my suggestions, I promise that whole “long distance” thing may get a little bit better.
