Episode notes
Ask Before You Declare A Long Distance Relationship
- Avoid declaring a long-distance connection a relationship until you explicitly have the conversation about exclusivity and commitment.
- Ask directly: "Do we both feel the same way and are we willing to be exclusive?" before investing time, energy, and trips.
Mix Energy And Be In Company Not Just Conversation
- Mix the energy you bring: blend long deep conversations with playful, sexual, and short interactions to avoid staleness.
- Also schedule 'company' time like watching a movie simultaneously to lower conversational stakes and feel present.
Create A Timeline To Solve Distance
- Build a horizon and a realistic vision for solving the distance problem with dates for visits and plans for living in the same place.
- Revisit what this looks like in a year or two so you don't stay stuck in unresolved limbo.
