Staff AnswerHow.com.vn Staff EditorStaff AnswerIt can be hard to spend quality time with your boyfriend during a long-distance relationship, but it definitely isn’t impossible, either. You might plan a video date or virtual game night, or surprise him with a call. You can also plan ahead for the next time you’ll see each other in person. - QuestionMy boyfriend lives in Nebraska, and I live in Texas. I’m only 14 and he's 13.

About This Article
Long-distance relationships require a little creativity, but there are plenty of cute ways to make your boyfriend feel special. Hand-write him a letter, telling him how much you love him and how you can’t wait to see him. Then, mail it to him so he can keep it and re-read it when he misses you. You can also make a slideshow of your favorite pictures of you together and add a song you both love to it. Or, send him a care package with little gifts, such as his favorite snacks, a framed photo of you, or merchandise of his favorite band. Another way to make your boyfriend feel special is to watch a movie together or play an online game together while video chatting. For more tips from our Relationship co-author, including how to make your long-distance boyfriend laugh, read on!
