QuestionHow can I spend time with my boyfriend?Janice TiepermanCommunity AnswerIt can be hard to spend quality time with your boyfriend during a long-distance relationship, but it definitely isn’t impossible, either. You might plan a video date or virtual game night, or surprise him with a call. You can also plan ahead for the next time you’ll see each other in person.

QuestionMy boyfriend lives in Nebraska, and I live in Texas. I’m only 14 and he's 13. Can we make it work?Janice TiepermanCommunity AnswerIt’s definitely possible! Long-distance relationships can work if you’re willing to put in the extra time and effort to spend time with your boyfriend. Try scheduling regular times to call and video chat, and send him plenty of texts, emails, and letters to let him know that you miss him.

About This Article
Long-distance relationships require a little creativity, but there are plenty of cute ways to make your boyfriend feel special. Hand-write him a letter, telling him how much you love him and how you can’t wait to see him. Then, mail it to him so he can keep it and re-read it when he misses you. You can also make a slideshow of your favorite pictures of you together and add a song you both love to it. Or, send him a care package with little gifts, such as his favorite snacks, a framed photo of you, or merchandise of his favorite band. Another way to make your boyfriend feel special is to watch a movie together or play an online game together while video chatting. For more tips from our Relationship co-author, including how to make your long-distance boyfriend laugh, read on!
