I am brand spanking new to the LDR. My girlfriend and I just decided to make our relationship a week ago. We lived in the same city for 2 months but then had to both go our separate ways and now have over 3000 miles between us! I told her I wanted her to myself and wanted a relationship and she agreed. We are both in late 20's and I think we both are seeing this as serious and potentially could lead to a life together. This is my first real relationship too, I have never felt so strongly and real for someone in my entire life. So the long distance thing is incredibly hard and I miss her every single second of the day. We are planning to move near each other in a year but she might move to me towards the end of the summer, it depends on her job though. Anyway I am just asking for any advice you all can give to help me get through this. I know I need to make myself super busy so I have less time to think about missing her but it's not easy. We talk every day for an hour or two on skype which helps. I have found that I am more emotionally out there than she is and I am trying to quell that since I don't want to scare her away. Culturally I am just very much like that and when she isn't it bothers me but I realize it's just who she is and it doesn't mean she doesn't care for me. Sorry this is a lot but I have been wanting to get this off my chest and I'm so happy I found a community of people that understand what I am going through
