When most girls (or guys) hear the phrase “long distance relationship,” the words that come to mind are: miserable, horrific, sad, heartbreaking, not worth it—did I mention miserable? Permanent long distance relationships can be difficult and painful, but I can tell you from experience, a little separation isn’t always a bad thing.
As long as you and your guy can get together every few weeks, long distance can absolutely rock. After the jump—20 reasons why it does.
- You always have something to look forward to
- You can schedule in lots of “me” time
- You can avoid “girlfriends feel neglected” syndrome by spending more time with the ladies
- Hot phone sex
- You don’t have to be constantly worrying about shaving/waxing/looking perfect down south
- There’s much less to fight about
- You have time to plan fun dates, and get super pumped for them
- You have plenty of time to shop for, and put together, cute outfits to wear on your spaced-out dates
- You know you’re going to get laid when your dude (or you) comes home
- Absence makes the heart (or the private parts) grow fonder
- You’ll never feel suffocated by your SO
- If taking birth control pills, you can manipulate Aunt Flow to come to town when your guy can’t (please only use this tactic when desperate/in moderation)
- You can focus on work
- You can write each other romantic love letters (if you’re the mushy gushy type)
- You can flirt without him cramping your style
- You’ll have no other choice but to make the time you do spend together fun and drama-free
- You can write (or at least relate to) sweet long-distance love songs like “Hey Delilah”
- You can have passionate, make-out-filled goodbye sessions
- You can save money by not going out to dinner and movies all the time
- You’ll have fewer, but better, orgasms
