Always engage your partner, talk daily. It would help if you have the same hobbies so you can do stuff together like vidya.

Cut the shit and games. Decide are we ever really going to end up together or are we just using each other for emotional closeness.

Me too but she lived an hour from my place.

Also, she told me she was considering working in another country for a while: I told her I could wait for her for 3 months but not for 3 years.

I don't really get most people's perspective in regards to online relationships. Everyone says long distance is "so hard" but it's really not.

I met my husband online, and due to various circumstances we weren't able to meet in real life for almost three years. We certainly wanted to meet up but until that time came we were perfectly happy with our daily online interactions. Now we've been living together for three years and married for two of them, and happier than ever.

What's so hard about it?

Watch movies. Keep talking. Try and visit every few months if you can. I'm about to move in with my Boyfriend of 6 months. It's tough, but we're making it work.
