Loving From a Distance

Hi! My name is Peace,

If you are in a long distance relationship, then you have come to the right spot!

Home of the longest list of ideas and activities for long distance relationship couples to do from a distance, Loving From A Distance was created by my boyfriend Frank and I to help others in long distance relationships like us. Here you will find advice and tips on how to make your relationship survive the distance, inspiring pages including true  stories, as well as other resources relevant to those in "geographically challenged" relationships.

If you found this site because you have been questioning whether or not a long distance relationship can work and are looking for an answer, the answer is yes: PPLD can and do work. Frank and I are just a single example; there are many more if you just look around our site. Just browse around our pages and you can bet you'll find the inspiration you're looking for.


Our most popular page is our list of 100 Activities for PPLD Couples To Do!

Frank and I started a long distance relationship  in February 2011. Frank is from Abia state and I am from Kogi state. We were tens of thousands of miles miles apart. From February 2011 till now, Frank is going to school in Bamenda, a whole 3 days away from me! We will close the distance when we are through with school and will not be happier. It was more than worth the wait. :)

Not your typical list of long

distance activities...

People in long distance relationships can have a
hard time staying connected, because couples
are limited in what they can do together. Many
are limited to phone calls, emails, instant
messaging, and texting which can become a bit
humdrum over time, if you ask me. It is important
to keep things interesting. Here is a list of things
you can do with your boyfriend/girlfriend as well
as things you can do for them from a distance.
The ideas get more interesting as you go
through the list!
We're not stopping at 100!
~ Peace & Frank

1. Send your boyfriend/girlfriend flowers!

There are lots of websites that will deliver flowers for you, but if you don't want to spend money sending a real bouquet, you can send a virtual bouquet using this website. I just got done sending Frank some roses myself :) Flowers2mail.com. Another website that lets you send either real or virtual flowers is Virtualflowers.com

Want to send real flowers? ProFlowers has affordable prices.
Teleflora is also highly recommended by long distance couples that have emailed us.

2. Learn new things about each other with 1000 Questions!

Think you have run out of everything you could say to each other? Try this.... When it's one of those days where you guys just can't think of anything to talk about, try asking questions. Here's a good site with 100 questions to ask your love: 100 Questions to Know Your Partner. These questions are great discussion starters.

For even more questions check out 1,000 Questions For Couples. I got this e-book myself and Frank during a rough time in our relationship. We were running out of things to say, and we were arguing a lot, mainly because we had nothing else to talk about. So I got this book and Frank and I spent hours one night asking each other the questions. It was so memorable, and we had more fun than what we had in a long time. The questions are split up into categories such as Attractions, Past & Future, Money, Pets, Sex, and tons more. You'll learn so much about each other, stuff you never knew and/or never thought to ask. On a side note, by going through this e-book together, it will make it easy to bring up difficult questions you may have wanted to ask your boyfriend/girlfriend but were afraid to ask.

3. Send an e-card!

I know you've probably seen this suggestion before. Tired of lame e-cards? You'll get a kick out of Someecards.com (Thinking of You section). These e-cards are hilarious! If you're easily offended by vulgar language, this site isn't for you. Want something a bit more romantic? Check out these LDR e-cards.

4. HoochyMail!

Okay, so maybe Frank doesn't like this one so much... HoochyMail is a website where you enter information and it automatically generates a story with your names in a MadLib type fashion. You choose the story level: sexy, x-rated, or off the wall. I did this for Frank, and cried laughing reading the story the website generated. I think Frank just stared at his computer with his eyebrows bunched up. www.hoochymail.com

5. Say cheese!

Before Frank and I had webcams, I would occasionally take a picture and email it to him so he could see me. He always loved it :) If he was having a bad day they would cheer him up. Here are some other picture related ideas:
