Yea... it is very difficult

More often than not, insecurities sets in and distance makes nothing better.

One thing that the BF and I (who are in a LDR

) recently started doing is to have movie dates together where we agree on a movie and we download and then watch at the same time. He on his laptop and me on mine with the web cam on.
