A few years ago, I moved out of state, leaving behind my on-again, off-again boyfriend, D. I had to decide what was best for my life, which meant moving to a place with better weather and a support system of family and friends. But even though it was the best choice for me, it really sucked to leave D behind.

Dating long distances was really difficult for us. We didn’t have the easiest relationship to begin with, and adding several states’ worth of distance didn’t help our situation. At that time, I wasn’t willing to let D go. We had been together almost a year, and I felt like he and I were meant to be.

So I scoured the internet for anything I could find to help keep the romance alive. Then I compiled a list of forty things to try. Some worked, and some didn’t. Most of what I read was the same basic crappy advice thing you would find in any women’s magazine. But in the end, our relationship survived the distance, and a lot of the things I found helped us keep our relationship alive until we were reunited.

Here is the absolute best long-distance survival advice from someone who has actually lived it.
