5 Benefits Of Being In A Long Distance Relationship

The Sex is Amazing!  One of the advantages to being in a long distance relationship is that you don't get to see the babe any and every time you want.  You have to wait and waiting builds anticipation and desire.

  Oh the joys of wanting someone for days even months and then finally having them in your arms.  Talk about heat between the sheets. You can't help but to savor every wet passionate kiss.

And the Superior Conversations you will have with the Babe are next level compared to relationships involving couples who are not separated by long distances.

  Think about it.  You're going to be looking for any way you can find to interact with the babe and talking is something you will do a lot of.  But it won't just stop there, you'll be Skyping, Face-Timing and writing letters before you know it  ^_^

Also there's less pressure involved when the Babe is miles away.  You don't need to worry about last minute scrambling to think of something "fun" to do.  You will have plenty of time to think of ways to have fun together.

  Another benefit to having less pressure is you're free to spend time working on things that are important to you.  You don't have to stop reading you're book or watching movies with friends because you already know you won't be seeing babe until next month!  You can plan ahead.

This also helps you appreciate the value of each other's time even more than if you were actually living together.

  When you're in a long distance relationship, you don't have time to get caught up in frivolous things that couples without distance often complain about.  

  The reason for this is because Babe isn't there to complain about your imperfect traits.  Well, not for another 16 days at least depending on how your rotation is set up.

  You learn to cherish every single moment you share, every kiss, every hug, it all just means a lot more.  Think about it.  Your time together is limited, so why spend it arguing over nothing?

And for the 5th pro?  Road Trip!!!  Ah yes, how can we not mention the road-trip or flight that will take you swiftly to the Babe's location.  

  On the way there, your mind races, as you realize your weeks, days or months of dreaming and fantasizing will become reality in only moments.  Just a few more miles to go...

  Sure the distance may seem long at first, but the rewards are great.  Also you're getting the chance to leave all your homely cares behind.  

It's like a "You" vacation that allows you to get lost in Babe's world, if only for a weekend. 

   And don't worry, you won't forget about responsibilities back home, but just for these few days or two weeks, it's all about You and the Babe.

Talk about flying high..lol   Just imagine going back to work Monday morning light as a feather;)
