As in any relationship, trust is a huge factor. This is particularly true in relationships where you cannot see each other as often as you would like. Often you won't know exactly where your boyfriend is, but you need to trust him or the relationship will suffer. (If you feel you can't trust him, then perhaps you need to think about the relationship!)
Make sure that when you do get to see each other that you spend quality time together. If your boyfriend has just travelled five or six hours to see you, then he doesn't want to go grocery shopping or watch you doing the ironing ! Instead, get the chores done before you see him and in that way you can go out for a meal, do nice things together and spend special time as a couple, rather than getting bogged down in the day to day things. (This should also happen when you go to see him).
Similarly, it's important not to save up all your problems for when you see him. It can be lonely dealing with problems on your own, but you need to make sure that you don't make each other feel guilty about not being there on a day to day level. Letters can be important, because they can be kept as mementoes and everyone loves a good love letter. Finally, always end any interaction on a loving note and don't allow negative feelings to fester.

Long distance relationships with men can be a tricky but fulfilling affair. The key is open and honest communication. You need to keep in touch as often as you can; daily if possible. If you feel that this is not always possible due to high phone bills remember that you can use the voice chat feature of various messengers along with the webcam option. This is particularly great as you can see your beloved while talking to or chatting with him. Besides this you should send e-mail, cards and faxes. Don't forget the potential wonders of sending good old fashioned love letters.
Little surprise gifts also help remind your partner of you when they least expect to. Making plans to meet gives your partner something to look forward to. You can even choose a city which falls between the two of you.
Remember that it is only human for your mate to want a relationship with someone around. In this case it would be best to allow each other to date people for the time apart and later see if you both feel the same.
