In this article I want to share some really important tips that have really helped me in several relationships where we were apart for whatever reasons.
Some people travel a lot for their career and others have family obligations.
Regardless, there are ways to keep the fires burning and build the anticipation so that it may even help your relationship.
Have you ever been apart from your significant other? Has the distance really felt as if they were a million miles away? Well, here are some fun and creative tips to keeping your romantic connection while making the distance feel much, much smaller.
Thanks to better telephones and cell phones and computers we have more and more methods to stay in touch and keep that intimate connection from feeling stretched beyond capacity.
Text messages, voice mails and instant messages and e mail allow us to keep up to date about information, as well as getting our fix of feelings and emotions.
Knowing when your significant other ( spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, life partner, etc. ) is going to be drifting off to sleep can help you to time the perfect good night text message. Or you can talk to each other until one of you feels tired enough for a great night sleep filled with very pleasant dreams…
One of the things I have always enjoyed is Role Playing. Early on in relationships I give the woman a nick name and encourage her to give me one. Usually, these are original and creative and say all the right things.
This helps reduce the awkward first phone calls “Hi this is Michael. We met at X play the other night”
Instead you can call her up and call her by her nick name and instantly she KNOWS that it is you and not any number of other men named Michael ( I have a very common name so I came up with to make things flow more smoothly for everyone )
Another tip that I find very fun and useful is to leave coded messages that only your significant other is likely to understand. This can lead them to KNOW how you are really feeling and it helps you both to feel special because you are communicating in a secret language that only you two really understand.
Along with this coded message idea you can also play some fun, romantic games that keep that connection strong and makes you think of the other person.
It helps if you are good at doing vocal impersonations and if the other person also loves movies like you do. You call them with the quote from a great film and sounding like the person from the movie.
They can have fun guessing what the movie is from, who the actor is, etc. and they can feel the effort you put into it. You have to know the tastes of the other person and you have to do your best to make the voice sound like the character in the film.
Speaking of films and quotes and doing your best?
* “Your Best? Losers always talk about doing their best. Winners go home and ‘date’ the Prom Queen!”
This quote is from a film starring many excellent actors and is a quote from a very famous actor with a great accent! (His character uses a different word than ‘date’)
Although this game works best as a live phone call or voice message, it can still work just as words if you pick the quote well. The person has to really like movies and it helps if you both share similar tastes in films.
I hope these tips and hints will serve you well, as they do myself and those I share it with.

P.s. You can use variations on this theme by singing a favorite romantic song to your long distance partner so that they can really hear the emotion in your voice as you lullaby them to a deep and pleasant dreams…
* P.p.s. HINT: The actor is Sean Connery and the film title is…? So you can call, text, instant message and e mail back and forth with more hints until they get the right answer. I do not mean to be “cagey” since this quote may be “hard” yet each hint can be a “nick” in the rock is the answer.
