writes:How can I be there for my girlfriend?I go to school about an hour away from my girlfriend and we can't see each other that often. She feels lonely and that she has no one to talk to. I assured her that I am always there for her when she wants me but she said it doesn't seem that way. We talk over text messages but we don't talk on the phone that much. I know I need to call her more.How can I "be there" for her?

Oh, also it might help to give her a few things to remind her of you... such as a sweatshirt/hoodie that you wear and has your smell on it, or a piece of jewelry like a necklace (does not have to be expensive) that she can wear all the time.

I'm in a long distance relationship (3 hour drive).We chat on AIM and text throughout the day, and usually a few short calls when both of us aren't busy, and then a longer call (10 to 50 mins) before bed. We also have webcam which we use in the evenings.Webcam is nice since it allows you to see each other, which is what phone/text/chat communication will leave you lacking for otherwise.I recommend the Google Video Chat... it has no ads, and seems to have far better quality and frame rate than Yahoo video chat.Basically, I recommend trying to be in contact with her more each day. Call her a few times a day at first, then slow down. She should start to call you sometimes too. If she doesn't take any initiative to communicate with you, maybe she doesn't feel as strongly for you as you do for her and you should talk to her about it.

airrick01 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionwe go to different school, i dont have my car till next semester and she isnt willing to come all the time(she doesnt chase). when we are together we are intimate, we have tons of fun and i know shes happy.
the problem is when we are not together she feels lonely.
