Keep up the thrills while you're apart
It's not just logging daily chats that matters—it's what you talk about and the little ways you reach out to each other that make things work. "It's easy to fall into a rut where you're just recapping your day or saying how much you miss each other. "There's nothing wrong with that, but what's important is to mix it up with fun stunts to keep your relationship from getting stale.
But experts are discovering just how important it is to find ways to maintain that element when apart—which means you'll have to get creative. Put some of these ideas into play...
- Surprise him the next time he Skypes you by answering wearing nothing but one of his tees.
- On a night when you know he's not doing anything, order a pizza to be delivered to his place. Have a dinner date together over speakerphone.
- Think of one sexy look that you're dying to show-off to your man, and send a cellphone shot of it to him. Include a sexy note, like "You game?
- Write a sexy e-mail to him about your fantasies when the two of you will be together. Men are visual begins and a detailed written account of what you want to do to him when you are together will make him feel closer to you.
- Get yourself clicked in different outfits through the week and send them to him over e-mail. Ask him to rate the pictures and tell you what he likes of each look. Try your favourites out of the lot when he's over the next time.
- Call his cell when you know he can't answer, and leave a naughty one-liner about how much you want him.
- Instant-stream a movie or show on Xbox Live, and watch it together. You can IM as you're watching and even do fun things like virtually throw popcorn at each other (it's like Facebook poking on steroids). Don't have an Xbox? Chat on the phone while you watch something on TV at the same time and exchange notes.
- Next time you're at one of your man's favourite spots, take a picture of a beer and text it to him with a note that says "I ordered one for you .
- On a day like Diwali, while you are lighting up your house, call him and do the diya lighting together.
- Start a Flickr account, and update it with a new picture each evening so you can 'see' each other everyday.
- When you're at his place, put on lipstick, and kiss a few sticky notes. Then hide them in different spots (like in his wardrobe or under a book) for him to find after you leave.
