1. Trust matters: any relation will be strong when there is trust without which the relation dies an early death. If one is unable to much understand or trust easily it is better to have sources to keep a tab on the mate to avoid unnecessary suspicion, and have a very transparent relationship for that to last. When you drop in sometime unexpectedly keep it light and natural and not obvious.
2. Bonding relation: keep the communication alive by chatting up or calling whenever one feels to talk and keeping the conversation such that there is always a longing that one should call or keep expecting the call, be in touch with your mate. Make moments to meet let the little girl or boy feeling be well expressed and not reserved to think what the other might think be open where relationship is concerned to keep it going.
3. When you meet, make sure you both have a memorable time. Plan exciting things to do together, it could just be walking on the road when it is drizzling in an umbrella not too adequate to walk free but to cuddle and walk along. A hot tea or coffee on the road side is damn good. Even an ice cream could be had,
4. Try not to be on your best behavior, when your partner’s around, the advise is to be yourself. This will ensure that there aren’t any false expectations when the two of you eventually start living together.
5. Know each other’s social circle: It is important to know each other’s friends and social circles well. Otherwise when either of you go visiting; it will become awkward if you aren’t familiar with each other’s friends. This will also give you both a feeling of acceptance, which is important in the relationship.
6. Talk out about the future: Don’t keep putting off the issue of who will eventually move in, the crisis if any should be resolved immediately and planning to be together should be a learning process and how to go ahead in action should be ones plan to further the relation well...sunkan

How very true,it is the "keep in touch" mantra that keeps allremote relationships going. "out of sight,out of mind" becomes more real in such relationships, where frequent bonding or interaction doesnot take place.
