Next week there will be tons of tweets and posts about how love-less people are not enjoying their love lives, because they don?t have a Valentine. This post is not for, as Kanye would say, the ?Heartless.? As a college student or recent grad, besides preparing for graduation or your next job, you also have to prepare for continuing intimate relationships post college (if you have one). Many elders say: ?you?re supposed to meet your husband or wife in college,? but what happens when you?ve received your degree, are still are in a committed relationship and your significant other lives hundreds of miles away?

By far the biggest strength in any relationship is communication. More specifically, communication is the key in a long-distance relationship. Our generation is probably one of the busiest and most technologically connected generations. My quick tip for those not tainted by love and either currently dating or seeking to date someone long-distance is to try to use the technology you have at your disposal to keep the relationship on solid ground.

There?s Skype, Facebook, Ovoo, Google, a phone (for goodness sakes), and a number of other avenues out there for you to communicate with that special person in your life. Choose one that works best for both of your schedules and lifestyles. There?s no reason you shouldn?t communicate with your loved one even though you?re miles away. Sometimes those few minutes of talking put ease to you day as well.

I believe communicating to yourself (and to your partner) what your wants, needs, and the things you deserve are crucial to building great relationships, no matter what the forum. As humans we constantly grow and the point of communicating is to be able to show and express the growth we experience on a daily basis. This advice goes for people in a long-distance relationship, in a relationship in general, and everything in between.
