Do you have any specific tips for me to make him feel loved in a long distance relationship?

Long distance relationships can be challenging but it also increases creativity in a relationship. Here are some heartwarming strategies to make your boyfriend feel loved and cherished, even from miles away:

Regular Communication is Key: It sounds obvious, but the foundation of making your boyfriend feel loved is through consistent and meaningful communication. Whether it's a good morning text, a nightly phone call to share how your day went, or random voice messages left throughout the day, these little check-ins make a world of difference. They show you're thinking of him and you're there, even if you're not physically close.
Surprise Messages or Emails: Imagine his delight at receiving an unexpected love letter by email, or a series of sweet texts that tell him how much he means to you.
Care Packages: Every now and then, put together a care package of his favorite things. It could be snacks, a book he's been wanting to read, a cute piece of clothing, or even a handwritten letter.
Virtual Dates: Schedule regular dates where you do more than just talk. You could watch a movie together while video calling, cook the same meal at the same time, or play an online game together.
Plan Surprises: If possible, arrange a surprise visit. Or, if that’s not feasible, organize a surprise online event for him, like a virtual birthday party with his friends and family.
Support His Interests: If he’s into gaming, try playing together online. If he loves to read, suggest a book and discuss it.
Send Voice Memos and Videos: Sometimes, hearing your voice or seeing your face can make all the difference. Send him voice memos or video messages to share parts of your day or just to say "I love you." It's more personal than a text and can make him feel closer to you.
Be There for the Hard Times: Long-distance relationships aren't just about the lovey-dovey stuff.
Plan Future Visits: Having something to look forward to can make the distance seem less daunting. Plan your next visit, talk about what you'll do, and keep a countdown. It gives both of you a tangible reminder that the distance is only temporary.
Personalized Gifts: Send him something personalized, like a keychain, a mug with an inside joke, or a playlist of songs that are meaningful to both of you. Personalized gifts show that you put thought into making him happy.

Remember, the goal is to make him feel loved and appreciated, and these actions, big or small, go a long way in bridging the physical gap between you two.

- sending him food (uberEats, pizza, instacart etc) when he's home after a long day and no food in the fridge
- calling everyday at the same time, even for only 5/10 mins (BeReal is also a similar concept), he can see that your life is "normal" most of the time
- responding to text reasonably quickly. Sure sometimes we get busy, but jokes are 100x funnier in real time, rather than a strange "lmao" a few hours later.
- drunk calls telling him how much you love him is kinda cute and an ego boost
- if he's a gamer, joining him on a multiplayer can be a fun way to add regular "hangouts" to the weekly routine.
- of course, the occasional spicy pic can be fun.

All the tips everyone listed are great but we don’t know your boyfriend like you do. I think you and your boyfriend should take the love language quiz. By knowing his love language, you will know what actions make him feel loved.

Examples of love language can be quality time, touching, acts of service, buying gifts, etc. For example my love language is acts of service, but I have dated someone in the past where they showed their love by buying me stuff, but that didn’t make me feel loved.

You gotta learn what your boyfriend love language is and show him you love him through that way. Hopefully that helps!

As others have said, communicate. Being apart is very different now with all the tech we have. You'll need to work out how much communication he likes though, and when.

I would think show him you are capable to manage your life while being clear he should be there with you. May be include plans for the near or distant future.

Love comes from within, if you can’t do it naturally, you don’t really love him that much

[AaronKrieger]

The same way you would if it were not long distance. Do reaffirming things like putting in effort to see him, have interest in his life, or sending gifts. Outside of that, it is entirely reliant on him to feel comfortable and not your job.

Especially for long distance where you both need a good mindset or else you will go insane I imagine.

You don't either they do or they get frustrated with no touching and sex. Just to seek it out without you

Few people are meant for long distance without regular meetings.

If his love language is touch it ends fast.

We would face time often and we would buy each other things, besides that not sure what else you can do lol.

[JacobJordan]

Talk to him everyday. Morning and evening. Send him messages through out the day. Communicate... a lot

[Nikki1989]

Impossible when it is long distance.

I'm sorry but people who are in long distance relationships are ugly and can't find someone locally. Ldr do not work because they non existent

[Anonymous]

I doubt people can fall and remain in love virtually in an LDR. All you have are just words that you can repeatedly say to each other. Those words have to be backed up by actual kisses, embraces, warmth, comfort and affection.

[Peridot25]

That can go for all relationships. Whether long distance or local.

[KrakenAttackin]

What is the point of a LDR? One of you should move or find other people.

[laly520]

not if his love language is physical touch

[RainBat]
