Newbie!

that's great that you found someone that makes you feel like that! It's a good feeling. Skype will become your best friend. My marine and I were long distance for a year and a half before we were finally able to move in together 3 weeks ago. I was away finishing up school in ohio and he was in NC. You both will need some serious communication skills. Communication will get you through the rough times and it will make you feel better knowing that both of you are keeping up with one another's schedules. Oh schedule in skype dates. That always seemed to help us. Make it so that you are only focusing on him and he is only focusing on you. I can't tell you how many times I was on skype with him and he would be playing video games at the same time. Oh it's frustrating haha! Just keep the communication line open and if you ever start to feel frustrated or if he starts to get frustrated because of your schedules then have a pact that you both will bring it up to the other. Trust me it really helps. Our communication skills are good and sometimes they are too good haha! I hope that helps. Message me if you need anything :)
