Skype, FaceTime, phone calls, sexting.

I believe you have to mutually agree on setting a realistic time limit on the long distance. By doing this, youre keeping the dream alive.

It is just not worth airfare and taking time off constantly to make visits.

^This is correct. There has to be an end game in sight for it to last, i.e someone has to indicate that they will move within a manageable time period. It's tricky with long distance because in order for someone to move it has to be serious (I.e, engagement or close to it), but if you're long distance you probably haven't been around each other for long enough to easily make that commitment.

*either the OP is a troll or is going through a lot of different issues, she has a thread about being in love with her married boss and a thread asking about soulmates. In the case the OP isn't a troll, hope this helps!!

You can't have a relationship with someone who isn't around indefinitely. A long distance relationship is simply a transitional period and not a end result. Visit each other often in the interim.
