I am doing long distance with my bf who is in Miami. I suggest you talk everyday on the phone and try to see each other ever month. If you dont see her atleast once a month then she will just become a voice over the phone. It is reallllllly hard doing long distance but I think it can work for some ppl. You have to have trust and be patient in knowing that one day you will be together in the same state lol.

It will be very hard to do if you are both thinking of it in terms of a long wait to be together. You're already "together", and you need to find ways to make the current FORM of the relationship enjoyable and satisfying, rather than sitting there tapping your toes hoping for "someday". So whip out the IM, the webcam, the e-mail, and the phone, and start working on ways to enjoy each other's company one day at a time. That's actually the same thing that happens when a couple is living together anyway... they have to find a satisfactory form for daily life -- a routine, things they enjoy sharing together, ways to express affection, etc. Plenty of couples who live together are suffering because they have some OTHER "someday" tormenting them -- i.e. "when we can have children", or "when we can finally buy a house", or "when the mother-in-law moves out" :) Yes, it's harder when you're separated, but the same principle applies: one day at a time.
