Long Distance Relationship? Ask These 100 Questions To Be Closer

How to be close even with distance

We are now living in a cyber world where everything is done online. It's estimated that there are over 2,500 online dating services in America alone, with thousands more being opened each year. Some claim that there are around 8,000 worldwide and, of course, we have all the great social media sites now like Facebook and Twitter that connect us with people from all around the world. This is why many of us are finding ourselves in a long distance relationship. Research shows about 35 percent of relationships now start online. The dating world has transformed because of social media and digital technology, including how people communicate with one another and how we seek out relationships. Research and polls in 2005 showed that few Americans had online dating experience, but today 15 percent of U.S. adults report they have used online dating sites or mobile dating apps. So how, is the question? How can we become close to someone, when we are so far apart?

When in a long distance relationship you need to work toward having a very strong, solid base.

Be open, honest, and be yourself. Take the time to communicate and have a conversation with him on all your favorite topics. Work at making him feel special, and he should do the same. All the things that you work on whilst in a normal relationship will need extra work and effort in a long distance relationship. In any relationship we want to know if we are compatible and have things in common, therefore in a long distance relationship, it is important to really get to know each other as best you can through the questions you ask. The more creative you get with your questions the better so that you can get a real sense of who he is and whether you are compatible or not. If you put in the time and effort love can develop in a long distance relationship. Call and text him throughout the day and share what's going on, ask questions, and maybe even schedule regular Skype dates so you can have face to face conversations which will help you to feel even closer. To maintain a strong relationship, you need to talk on the phone, but preferably something like Skype, as often as you can!

The benefit of being in a long distance relationship

The biggest benefit of being in a long distance relationship is that it forces you to communicate. You may never again get this opportunity to really focus time and energy into communicating this much again or to have conversation and discussion on topics that you may never normally get a chance to talk about. Use this time to get to know one another by asking as many questions as you want to ask, and whatever you would like to know about him. Don't be afraid to even have a discussion on all the topics that you are passionate about, which will really help him get a sense of who you are but keep it light and low key. No heavy discussions at this stage. .You can make your questions light and funny to show your fun side. .You can ask questions about their life to show that you are interested in him. .You could ask flirty or even a bit naughty questions to show your sexy side. .You could even ask some weird or random questions on topics you wouldn't usually ask in person if you wanted to. .You could ask romantic questions to show you are a hopeless romantic. The biggest thing to remember is to just be real, be yourself, and enjoy. The better you are at asking questions, the more you’ll learn about him.

Distance means so little when someone means so much. Tom McNeal

If you feel like there is a connection, If you feel like there could be something there, then it's worth exploring and pushing through the long distance period because real love doesn't come around everyday.

“I was 27 when I came across Evan’s profile on @hinge. His first message to me was, “Where do you fall on the cat vs. dog debate," to which I replied, “Some day I'm going to get one of each and name them Barnes & Noble." I‎t was a conversation that so perfectly forecasted the fun relationship we’d go on to have for the next 3 years (and counting.) Evan and I are definitely the same brand of weirdo, but that’s the thing we appreciate most about our relationship. Having someone you can be your true, authentic self with is priceless. On our first date, we discovered our mutual love for the band Holy Ghost, all Leonardo DiCaprio movies, and adventures in the great outdoors. I‎t was an effortless first meet-up and it’s been non-stop fun ever since. We have "accent nights,” where we both chose an accent and commit to speaking in it all night - Evan's specialties are Boston and British. We also brush our teeth together while having dance parties in front of the mirror. We even schedule “no phone” dates at least once a week. From silly to sappy and sad to stressed - we're by each other's side through it all. The most challenging part of our relationship? Definitely Evan’s cold hands 😂. My advice to anyone still looking for their person is to be open-minded. Don’t be afraid to put your true self out there - chances are there will be someone who perfectly gets your weirdness.” #sponsored

"As someone who called off her destination wedding 1 month before the date, trust me when I tell you to always trust your instincts. Listen to that inner voice when it tells you something doesn't feel right despite external pressures and expectations. In 2012, I was about to graduate college when I first spotted Dan at a bar. I noticed him having a great time with his silly dance moves. I decided to use his Bluejay's hat as an excuse to talk to him. Long story short, the night ended with me puking and him holding my hair back. Any other guy would have just excused themselves, but not Dan. We stayed up the rest of the night talking and dated for a few weeks after that until I graduated college and moved to San Francisco. I knew we shared a special connection but I was 22 and ready to conquer the world. We maintained a friendship and went our separate ways, but my feelings for him never quite faded. One time I flew to Boston on a whim to tell him how I felt, only to be introduced to his new girlfriend. I was crushed and returned back to SF thinking that was the end of our story. Life went on. He moved in with his girlfriend and I got engaged. Naturally, our friendship fizzled out with respect to our relationships. Then, a few months before my wedding, I knew something wasn't right in my relationship. I flew home to spend time with my family and figure it out. It was an emotional time as I analyzed my life and tried to understand what I was feeling. While I was home, Dan, who had no idea what was going on, randomly texted me out of the blue. It had been 2 years since our last conversation. I found out he had ended his former relationship. Our conversation lead to the most natural re-connection and something inside of me knew that Dan was my destiny. I had never stopped loving him. I called things off with my fiancĂŠ and cancelled the wedding. I flew back to California and moved in with Dan. It sounds crazy, but it just felt right. We eloped on leap day with $15 rings purchased at the courthouse (mine was hot pink)" * You can be in a relationship for 2 years and feel nothing. You can be in a relationship for 2 months and feel everything. Time is not a measure of love

"When I made the plan to travel around the globe for a year it was supposed to just be me, myself, and I. I had every intention of traveling alone and getting lost in the world. Then Zach came along 24 hours into my journey. My first stop was in Massachusetts to visit my best friend and that's where I met Zach. We were at a mutual friend's house party. Later that evening, we shared our first kiss and the next morning Zach told me he wanted to come with me. So after only 24 hours of being together, we made the decision to travel the world together. He quit his job and booked a plane ticket to Paris to join me on this adventure. It might sound crazy but isn't that what life is all about? Taking risks, falling in love, and enjoying the ride?

"The way Tom and I met is anything but ordinary. In September 2014, I left my job as a zookeeper in the US for a position as a field research assistant in Madagascar. I never in a million years thought I would meet the man who is now my best friend, husband, and love of my life. Around that time, Tom also left his job in the UK for the same field research opportunity. We met in a remote village in Madagascar while working together studying lemurs. We spent the next 6 months living in a yellow tent at the field site without running water or electricity. It's safe to say we really got to know each other in our most vulnerable states (read: smelly, sweaty, dirty, and tired.) Our platonic friendship slowly and naturally progressed into a very deep love. When it was time for us to leave, we knew we would be doing so together. I decided to go back to the UK with Tom. Almost immediately upon arrival, I was offered another opportunity to return back to Madagascar for a 3 month research position. Those 3 months away from each other were some of the hardest days of my life. However the hidden blessing was that it allowed Tom and I to realized just how much we loved each other. When my job was finished, I returned to Tom. Naturally, the first thing we did was take our little yellow tent to camp at Snowdon, Wales. Tom proposed to me at the top of the mountain. We were married in the states in September 2015, but are currently together in Europe. We're still nomadic, still exploring, and still pursuing our passion for conservation. But now we're doing it together."

"Every relationship has a story but ours was pure fate. We both relocated our lives to Texas. I moved a few years before him, originally from Florida. He moved from California. At the end of 2004, I was working as a server at a restaurant when I turned around to go put an order in and noticed a cute guy standing at the jukebox. The restaurant regularly played country music so I noticed immediately when a song came on that I actually liked. I walked over and asked if I could get him anything as an excuse to talk to him. He noticed the tattoo on my arm and asked me what it said. I responded, "Oh, it's lyrics from an Indie band I love called Lydia, you wouldn't know them." His jaw nearly hit the floor. He held out his arm to show me his tattoo of the album cover from that same Lydia song. We both looked at each other in disbelief. People say opposites attract, but that wasn't the case here. I found the male version of myself who shares so many of my same interests. We were married this past weekend and of course, our first dance was to a song from our favorite band, Lydia."

"Jordan and my older brother have been best friends since they were in 1st grade. One of my first memories is playing Hot Wheels with Jordan and kissing him on the cheek, to which he got mad and said "If you kiss me one more time, I'm going home!" I continued to have a crush on Jordan as we grew up. I went away for college and it wasn't until after I graduated that Jordan and I reconnected. We both went solo to a mutual friend's wedding and we spent the night laughing and dancing together. I expected Jordan to contact me after the wedding, but he never did. I was confused and felt rejected but eventually accepted that he just wasn't interested in me. According to Jordan, it took him a while- 8 months might I add- to build up the nerve to talk to my brother about wanting to date me. He was so worried that it would hurt their friendship, but my brother was actually very accepting of the idea. Then, shortly after that, a group of our mutual friends went camping for 4th of July weekend. Jordan and I were walking through the woods when he stopped me and nervously confessed that he had feelings for me. I then told him that I had liked him for a very long time. We were both equally shocked. We then shared our first kiss and it immediately started to rain- it was straight out of a movie! We were engaged 10 months later and married 5 months after that. We took engagement photos with fireworks to symbolize the 4th of July weekend that changed everything."

"It was fate. It may sound like your typical "we met at a bar" type story, but for me, it was so much more. Neither Miles or I had planned on going out that night. I spotted him right when I walked in and declared to my friend, "I want HIM." A few minutes later, my friend marched right up to Miles and told him I was interested and asked if he'd like to meet me. The rest is history as they say. We were married exactly four years later to the day. I don't know what I did to deserve love like this. My life was filled with so much heartache before I met Miles. My father passed away when I was a Junior in High School. As a result, it was hard for me to build solid, trusting relationships after that. I was always afraid of letting people in because I was too scared of possibly losing someone again. Miles broke down all those walls for me but with such grace, love, and patience. He's the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. I am truly honored to be his wife and love him more than words can express."

Asking questions is by far the best way to get to know someone, particularly a new boyfriend! What’s even better is tying a bit of humor into the questions to have a little fun and a few laughs whilst getting to know one another.

If you need even more ideas, here is a Youtube video with even more questions to ask.

It’s a bit scary being in a long-distance relationship. Distance can be daunting, especially if you’re in a new relationship. It's hard only having text messages, phone calls, and short visits but you learn a lot about each other. You can talk about everything. Hopefully, you feel closer as a couple through asking all these questions. In a long distance relationship, communication is everything. Lots of emotions come and go, one of those is the feeling of missing him. You can feel insecure and worried at times but the more you communicate and keep in contact, the better you will feel. A long distance relationship is tough, but when you care about each other, you find ways to make it work.

“I can bear the distance but cannot imagine a life without you. For you, I will go through the distance and the heartaches. You are my one and only.” – Montana Lee

In a long distance relationship, it's important to ask lots of questions to get close and get to know each other

When in a long distance relationship, strength and good communication is developed between couples, when all you do is have conversations and discussions about different topics over text or talk on the phone. You learn how to make a commitment, even when you are not seeing much of each other, which could bring a stronger bond. You discover the power of your relationship to overcome all obstacles. If you can fall in love and make a commitment to each other whilst in a long distance relationship, then you may have just found the real thing. Long distance relationships take patience, communication, endurance, commitment, and above all, trust. When you can't see him every day or even every week, it's important to trust in your love and the strength of your relationship.

So how do you build trust when in a long distance relationship? How do you stop yourself from worrying or over thinking when your not together?

Here are a few useful tips: . Discuss topics like what you want to get out of the relationship and where you see it going. . Understand the difficulties you will face and talk about them. . If the relationship is going to work, you both need to fully dedicate yourselves to it. . Encourage him to trust you by always proving yourself worthy of his trust. . Make him feel like he can talk to you about anything. . Be open and be yourself. . Have good and open communication.

Being in a long distance relationship can be really hard, especially if you're falling in love

Falling in love with him just through conversations is a beautiful thing.

It can be done if you are willing to put in the work

"Although Levi is a year older than me, we went to the same school together from kindergarten through high school. We always knew of each other, but for some reason we were never really friends. Four years after high school, we bumped into each other downtown on a night out. He greeted and hugged me as if we were the best of friends. I was really happy about how excited he was to see me, but I tried to play it cool. The next weekend I was set up on a blind date, and as I walked into the bar to meet my date, who do I run into again? Levi. Both of our jaws dropped and we knew it was fate. It was the most awkward and amazing night of my life; awkward for my blind date but amazing because Levi and I started dating shortly after that and moved in together."
