Ways to feel closer to your partner whilst you're way?

[rosiemichelle]

I'm looking for suggestions of things I can do to feel closer to my boyfriend and vice versa. Neither of us are keen on the idea of Skype sleep overs. I have considered giving him a little gift to remind him of me, however everything I seem to come up with is too girly.

Someone told my husband and I to sleep in a t-shirt for a week, then you trade t-shirts and your significant other has your t-shirt that smells like you.

Go to bed at the same time! - Even with a time difference of 6 hours we managed to do that a couple times!
Have a meal together! - we sometimes eat on skype, he eats lunch, I eat dinner :P

We shared little pictures of what we were doing throughout the day. The sandwich I was having for lunch at work, he'd take a pic of where he was working that day, helped us feel part of each other's life with the little things.

I think we usually go to bed roughly about the same time. We usually meet up twice a month so we have meals together often anyway, cute idea if we saw each other less often though.

I do ocassionally do things like that but I think it might annoy him if I did it everyday. Thanks though

My friends and family find it weird, but we fall asleep on the phone together. Even if we're to tired to talk we feel closer, like we're laying right next to each other. We also watch movies and play video games together.

My SO and I give each other pieces of clothing or favorite items all the time. I leave something almost everytime I leave her place. This time I left her my favorite pair of Converses so she can wear them all the time! (good thing we have the same size feet! hehe) I have her favorite Nightmare Before Christmas blanket and I sleep with it every night. Those little things help a lot.

Got some useful tips here.. Thanks guys.. Time difference between my SO and I is 6hours, So must time i talk her to sleep. And on some occasions she wakes up in the middle of the night to talk me to sleep.

My SO would be the same way, he's not a big fan of talking over the telephone or texting. So I think if I did that everyday it would start to annoy him.

I write him a letter every month, and sometimes I'll send him two or three on one month.
I print out photos and send those to him as well.
It does get hard sometimes trying to figure how to feel closer to him sometimes
I believe that the smallest and simple gestures really do matter.
I appreciate it when he tells me when he's home and if he's going out, even though I'm sleeping

My wife and I used to swap t-shirts when we're apart for longer periods of time, but now we're using a Chrome extension (Disco - www[dot]discome[dot]com). We can leave each other notes on top of any webpage! They're like getting little reminders that we're thinking of each other.

I can see the point of it; like interactive lovemaking to a new level and also similar to those vibrators or vibrating eggs with remote control. Though the consept seems a bit centred on the straight fucking. I would so miss to make real the skin contact, and also he really likes to lick me and I guess he would miss out
