Keys To A Successful Long Distance Lesbian Relationship

These days, it's easier than ever to begin and maintain a long distance lesbian relationship

. Cell phones, text messaging, email, instant messaging, and video chat are among the many resources available to help those of us whose love knows no boundaries. Whether you met your partner through an online lesbian dating service or you met her during that business trip last year, long distance dating is now easier than ever. And until you and your partner are ready to pack up and move, there are many ways to maintain your relationship.

The most important aspect of any long distance lesbian relationship, as well as long distance dating in general, is communication. It's imperative that you and your girlfriend communicate as frequently as possible to maintain trust and companionship. If you and your partner live in the same or close time zones, perhaps phone calls are the best method of communication. You have the benefit of hearing each others' voices and most phone companies offer reasonable long distance plans. However, if your girlfriend lives on the other side of the world, you might need to more often communicate through email, text messages, and snail mail. This could also be true if your work schedules are out of sync.

Another mode of communication to keep in mind is video chat. It's the next best thing to being right there with her in person. With the recent growth of online lesbian dating sites, webcams and video chat have become increasingly common, easy to find, and easy to use. Many laptops have built-in webcams these days, and cheap USB webcams are easy to find. Now not only can you talk to your girlfriend, but you can see her as well--all within the privacy of your own home, which also means you can get as steamy as you wish. In addition to a webcam, you'll also need a program that facilitates video chatting. Certain instant messaging services allow or even specialize in video chatting. Both you and your partner will need to install the program on your computers.

Although regular, open, and honest communication is the most important aspect of long distance dating, it usually won't be enough to successfully maintain your long distance lesbian relationship. Physical intimacy, whether sexual in nature or as innocent as a hug, is also essential to any relationship. As great as it is to talk to your partner, or even video chat with her, on a regular basis, the two of you will still want to make every effort to visit each other. If you live close enough to drive, take road trips as often as you can. If you need to fly, airlines and travel agencies often have special deals on air fare. Check their websites frequently for special deals in your respective areas. Some of these websites even offer travel fare alerts customized just for you.

It isn't always easy to successfully maintain a long distance lesbian relationship, but with proper communication, commitment, and honesty, it is possible and definitely worth it. Online lesbian dating has made finding your dream girl easier than ever, and you both deserve all the happiness and joy of a successful relationship.
