idkif i'm going to be very helpful ... my boy friend and i are long distace (going on 6 months now) and only see each other every 3 or 4 months (which may be lucky considering your distance).

he's my best friend and i talk to him pretty much everyday ... every couple days we have 'talks' :) about what we'd do if we WERE together *wink*

we talk about everything from the kinky to the intimate ... and every once in a while he gets a dirty text message (SMS in europe?) during school hehe

the best thing is to not be repeatative with the routine - simple things like a late night phone call or something that you dont normally do ... idk if that helps.

I'm with mcsgirl. My b/f and i are in a long distance relationship but lucky for us its and hour and a half drive from my house to his. I applaud you are your b/fs distance endurance.

To keep our fires burning we talk on the phone alot and do the whole dirty texting thing but it is mostly me who does it. We dont have phone sex though because it makes him uncomfortabe but he enjoys hearing me over the phone and afterwards we always feel closer.

Maybe since you and your b/f are shy this would be a great way to start experimenting with dirty talks and such. idk.

And like mcsgirl said, dont be routine. Calling him during lunch or even telling him what you had for breakfast that day will make him feel like he is part of your everyday life.

i hope this kind of helps!!!!!

Good luck!!!!!!!

Well, my fiance is in Marine bootcamp so my advice is mostly on keeping the relationship alive. Just do your best to stay connected and keep communications open. There is no such thing as a dumb thing to say if it's coming out of the mouth of someone you love. So if you want to talk about the little things about your day that made you happy go ahead.

Remember, it takes two to make a relationship so just support each other while you are apart.

Best wishes.
