How to feel closer?

[eclipsefeet]

Soo.. I have been talking with this guy online for all most two years now and we still have never met. We are very much in love with each other. Sometimes I feel like it's a waste of time and I'm losing hope of ever being able to see him in person cause it's only ever been phone and Skype. I really wanna see him and feel closer to him but we can't really do that right now.

Does anyone have any advice to feel closer to your long distance relationship lover or dealing with someone you never met

Hi eclipsefeet,

Have you guys already talked about visiting? Planned anything? What are your respective situations so we could understand better why "you can't really do that now"?

To feel closer, my SO and I use rabbit a lot to watch films together. Also, plan dates on Skype, not only "random" calls but like, dinner date for example if your time difference (if difference there is) allows you to. You can also when possible, sleep together on Skype if you don't do it yet, it feels amazing to wake up to the face of the one you love no matter how far they are.

You can also exchange things by mail, send a box with things that would remind him of you for example.
I sent a "care box" with a 100 messages jar for him to open everyday, tickets to use when we will meet again, some snacks and little personalized things.

But still, planning a visit, even without knowing when, just trying to figure out what you both would do together, what places he or you wanna take each other to etc.

There are also couple apps that seem to work for some people here, I actually don't use it but you can try!

Have a nice day!! (Sorry for English level)

Thank you for all the suggestions. I have never tried sleeping on Skype before, it sounds like a great thing to try. It might be a little difficult as we are 8 hours apart tho.

We do plan on visiting in the summer but nothing is for sure yet. Also the reason we can't see each other now is because it's very expensive traveling and we both can't take time off work at the moment.
