We’ve all met people who are in different parts of the world. Even though we share many interests with them, the long-distance can put a toll on the friendship. Sometimes, even if you want to stay in touch, it seems like you have nothing to talk about, and you simply stop talking to your friend altogether. Here is how you can prevent that and maintain long-distance friendships.
Schedule Face Time
You should pick a day that works for both of you and commit to calling that day. This will help you stay in touch and not postpone the friendship. By having a day when you talk regularly, you will maintain a healthy relationship and stay on top of the things your friend is doing. Once a week is also a big enough period so you always have something to talk about, but not too big that you forget where you left off.
Play A Video Game Together
There are great multi-player games that will allow you to spend time together in another universe. This will likely bring you closer together and give you a fun way to spend your free time without having to be in the same place. If you are not big on games, you can read the same book or watch the same TV show. This way, you will always have something to talk about, and it will keep things interesting.
Visit Each Other
You can visit each other once per year, or go on vacation together. This will give you something to look forward to and is also an excellent opportunity to travel.
Work Or Study Together
You can use video calls to motivate each other to be productive. This way, you can focus on your own things while still spending time together. Besides, you will motivate each other to work harder!
Send Each Other Gifts
You can help your friend see how much they mean to you by sending them gifts. This can be something small, like a photo of your childhood memories together, or a book you both love. This will not only put a smile on their face, but it will also make the bond between you stronger.
