1. You never miss “good morning” and “good night” messages.
When you can’t see each other face to face, email or text messages become the next best thing. Use them to your advantage and exchange personal messages as often as possible.

Becoming a part of his daily routine will give you both a sense of closeness, even when you are physically apart. It will also help you pick up on changes to his behavior early enough that you can nip any unwelcoming feelings in the bud.
