" They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder, and though that may be true, it can become a challenge. The Top 5 Ways to Make It Work long distance: 1. Communication: Communication is key, everyday. Just talk! Tell him about your day and listen to his; whether you&amp;#039;re stressed out or happy or excited or whatever, it&amp;#039;ll be good to get those emotions out. 2. Realize the difficulties to come. Be understanding of the fact that your boyfriend may not like the idea of you befriending other guys or going out to party. Give him time, it won&amp;#039;t be easy, but I promise it&amp;#039;ll get easier. 3. Do things together. My boyfriend is three hours away from me - but we still spend at least three hours together, somehow. Whether it be talking on ooVoo or if I&amp;#039;m home or he&amp;#039;s here to visit me. Sometimes, we even pick a movie on a certain channel and we watch them together! Even though we&amp;#039;re not physically together, we&amp;#039;re still able to do things together.  4. Follow your instincts. Believe that if it&amp;#039;s meant to be, love will find its way. Things will get better with time. 5. Last but not least: TRUST. A relationship should be based around trust. Do not allow the jealousy and drama destroy your relationship. Just because he didn&amp;#039;t call you, doesn&amp;#039;t mean he&amp;#039;s off doing something wrong. I&amp;#039;m not an expert, but these are just a few of the little things I&amp;#039;ve learned on my own. Sure, I miss Marc everyday. But I know that when I go home, he&amp;#039;ll be right there waiting for me - it&amp;#039;s what keeps me going. It reminds me of why exactly I&amp;#039;m attempting to make it work. Love you Marc! See you on the 21st Remember to dream! Diane "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
