@SimplyBored. I am currently in a long distance relationship myself so I know what your going through. I am from the UK and my gf is from the USA. LDR's are more harder than normal relationships because the physical contact is not there however its all about love. If 2 people love each other then it will work.
Me and my gf use role playing to compensate for the lack of physical contact and it does work. And it gives us a feel of what it will be like when we do meet one day.
