The one thing that we found the hardest was not the original long distance relationship, but once you spend a significant amount of time together in real life, going back to long distance is very hard, it just doesn't seem real, as you have experienced the real thing. This is something you should be aware of if you are going to end up meeting for real (which let's face it, if you are in a relationship that will be something you move towards).

My general advise regarding long distance is me and blue didn't go a single day in a year without talking to each other, regardless of circumstances, even if it was a quick hi, how are you? With all the modern technology there really is no excuse for not keeping in contact with your partner, and this is in my opinion one of the most important things in a long distance relationship.
