Long Distance Relationships/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer question about how to stay close to your significant other, despite the distance. I am currently in a long distance relationship, so I've experienced many problems first hand. Whether a person is having a hard time saying good-bye after a visit, dealing with time differences, bothersome siblings, or an overwhelming schedule; I have tips and ideas that will help people work through their problems and keep a level head. I understand that being in a LDR comes with a whole host of unique problems and situations that don't occur in relationships where both parties have easy access to each other. I also understand how easy it is to start playing mind games with yourself, and worrying over the past, present and future. I can answer questions about how to resolve conflict/trust issues, how to stay connected, and keep the spark burning.
Experience in the area
I am in a long distance relationship, so I know first hand how difficult and frustrating this arrangement can be. My advice will be two-fold, on the one hand I will be able to provide my insight, and on the other hand, my significant other will be able to provide his point of as well. This means I will better be able to see ANY situation from both a male and female perspective.
Education/Credentials
I recently graduated from college with a BA in History

2009-10-27 I need some advice:
Personally, I do not like texting when it comes to relationships. It's easy to misunderstand what someone says and it's really not that exciting. I can understand why you're not happy with all the texting

You could look up a few laptop options and go with him to Costco or something to look at some. If he's really resistant, then try to convince him to upgrade his cell phone. Many phones today get free internet
2009-10-24 dating a trucker.:
It's all right, don't worry about it. Just take some time to think about your relationship, and make sure you and this man are both independent and secure enough to make an LDR work in the long term.
2009-10-24 dating a trucker.:
How old is this guy? You say that you're in college... what year? You need to SLOW DOWN. You've ONLY just met this guy, and you haven't even been together for very long... not even three months, yet
2009-10-23 confused:
The only problem I see is this: you are making a big deal out of nothing. Your guy has every right to go out with friends, he still makes time for you. It was petty of you to ignore him for three days
