I've had some advice on internet / long distance relationship, and how to make it work, how about some more? I could sure use it.

Talk, keep talking, and talk some more.
The only thing that makes this work is to talk

We always say on here that we can't see someone's eyes and they reflect what a person is really thinking. When you can't see the person's eyes, you have to rely on words. The more you talk, the more you know. The more you know, the more you understand and can be there for each other. **course, phones are good too

Talking yes! Huge amounts of time talking about EVERYTHING under the sun...politics, where to hang the bathrobes, messy or super clean styles, religion, who will take out the trash and how will you handle finances and bills. Not just emails and chatting, as Ja,ie says. Phone contact is vital and essential, not just a good idea. Especially if you plan on getting together physically. All sorts of expectations need to be unpacked and explored. Escape hatches need to be established, rules of fair fighting that you can both agree to, how the bills will be paid, what are the likes and dislikes about sex, all these things must be discussed in depth.
In face to face dating, these things tend to get covered more routinely than on-line (altho not always), but they'll cause a melt-down in less than 2 weeks if you haven't covered them plus committed yourselvees to talking more when you are face to face in "family conferences".
More ideas from those who have actually don it?

On top of all your conversing a little faith love and understanding will help a lot also. When hes being a little weird and you're not sure what to do just remember ya love him and its all good. I know steve is always being a little weird. good luck
