Give your partner a promise ring to let them know that you are devoted to them.

For him: make him a scrapbook of the both of you throughout your relationship and end it with "100 Reasons Why I Love You." It seems like a lot but it's the easiest thing you will ever do if you love him.

Girls, have your guy spray his cologne on a sweatshirt and keep it while he is away, wear the sweatshirt you feel him all around you.

Once my girlfriend and I were talking and I was feeling depressed and confused about something and she sent me a package with a letter or card for every day for the rest of the month. It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for me. The letters don't have to be long, just a simple 'I love you, I'm thinking of you' is sufficient.

Make a personal calendar for your partner with a photo of yourself on it for each month. This is something that they can keep on their desk as a constant reminder of you.

Make a crafty photo album and send it to your mate. cut out cardboard, punch 3 holes w/hole puncher on the end, insert different color paper (w/holes) in between two cardboards, paste pictures of yourself the hold all pieces together w/ribbon.

Make a complex collage for him/her, full of words like "sexy," "i love you," and anything else you feel is important.

I've saved everything from every date my boyfriend and I have had, every ticket stub, pictures, petals from flowers we've given each other and even like receipts and tags from special gifts we've given each other and all the notes and cards I've gotten from him. for our one year anniversary I'm making a scrap book out of them with pictures of us together. We've been together for almost 8 months and 5 of them we have been apart. But the best tip I can give to anyone doing the long distance thing is talk to each other A LOT. tell the other how you feel about every aspect of your relationship and if there is a problem fix it, talk it out. Communication is the key to any relationship and if the person you're seeing is important enough to you to do the long distance thing then you should be willing to go the extra mile with your communication.

When he comes to visit place love notes or little surprises in his bag so when he gets home he'll find them as he unpacks and knows how much you love and miss him when he's not with you.

I was fortunate enough to meet a wonderful man online. Our correspondence took a new turn last week however, when I recieved in my email the first part to a story describing our first encounter. He was sensitive enough to give me the option of writing the next part, or leaving it up to him. I jumped at the chance to share my thoughts, ideas, and dreams with him. We are now on part 6, and if this is any indication of what our first encounter will be like, I know that I am one of the luckiest girls alive. (Laurie)
