It can be tough when you like a guy that lives far away. You don’t get to bump into him in the halls at school or grab coffee together after work, and you miss him! You can’t help who you like, and if you’re falling for someone who lives out of state, all hope is not lost. New long-distance relationships start every day, and many turn into successful, long-term partnerships. The first step in having a flourishing long-distance romance is telling the guy how you feel and asking him out on a date. You can’t tell him in person, but you can text him how you feel. Read on for tips on how to ask a guy out over text.

Certified Professional MatchmakerTry to figure out something that would work for both of your schedules. For example, someone who's divorced with children might have a little less free time, while two people without children may have more wiggle room in their schedule.
Tips
- Everyone, no matter how confident or attractive, gets rejected. If the guy says no, stay positive and remember that there are plenty of other guys out there who would love to date you. Don't let this stop you from putting yourself out there again in the future.Thanks
