Long Distance Relationship While on Quarantine

Kahit temporary, a long distance relationship can be very hard. But it doesn’t mean you’ve to quarantine your love, or lockdown your puso.

Mobile data ON! Technology can keep the love burning. Naglista kami ng ways you can make #LDRM (LDR Muna) work. Read on. 

1. Schedule your dates

Mga bes, bet na bet pa din natin ang pisikal na pagkikita, iba pa din talaga ang malalagkit na titigan, ang HHWW (Holding Hands While Walking), ang kiskisan ng inyong mga braso, dibdib, pisngi, at kung ano-ano pang pwede magkiskisan. Pero tiis-tiis muna ang Physical Love in the time of COVID-19. You guys just have to make this work. Char! 

Maliit na bagay, pero just setting a scheduled video call date everyday or kung kailan winner pareho ang sched nyo, makes a load of difference. Communication and consistency are key. 

Stick to a schedule, okay? Bawal mang-Indian, kung ayaw mong ma-ghost bigla. Char! Unless there’s an emergency. The jowa will definitely understand. 

2. Give each other space

“Space? But that’s all we have between us, miles and miles of space!!!” Kalma lang, bes.

Let me explain. What I mean is huwag masyadong insekyora sa relationship niyo na kada minuto ay may text o tawag ka sa kanya.

Kapag masyaso kang clingy sa kanya, it sends a message that you’re anxious and insecure. Scientists and philosophers from all over the world say, may tendency daw kasi na maging ganito sa mga LDRM. Paranoid much? Remember: love is patient, love is kind, love is secure, love is (fill in the blank). 

So ayan ha, we warned you so you wouldn’t make this mistake. Relax, watch a movie… Netflix and chill. 

3. Do things together

Speaking of movies, come up with activities you can do together, ano man ang trip niyo. 

While long and intimate conversations are great, dating requires variety eh, at hindi exempted ang long-distance dating dito. Keep things exciting para din hindi masyado boring. 

Brainstorm kayo ni jowa, okay? Try out each other’s interests or hobbies. If bet niya ng Mobile Legends, gora lang. Or kung gawin niyo lahat ng TikTok challenge, gora lang. A wise man once said, a couple who TikToks together, stays together. Char! Don’t worry, madami kayong oras.

4. Surprise your jowa

Nothing spells kilig more when your partner surprises you! Totoo, diba? Ang daming ways to surprise your jowa, despite the long distance and the enhanced community quarantine. 

Send something via kuya Grab. Kung walang budget, daanin na lang sa E for effort. Surprise mo siya via text, emoticon or videocall. Basta, think of something creative, yung hindi pa niya nakikitang ginagawa mo. Kikiligin pa din siya for sure. 

5. Heat things up

Physical distance doesn’t have to make you sexually distant, bes. Try sexy sexting. You can start things off by describing your most romantic fantasies. Galingan mo mag-describe. Tapos gradually make landi with fire. I-detalye mo yun suot mo, talk dirty, and moan and moan. I mean more and more. Etcetera!

Another way is to do video call sex. (DISCLAIMER! For long-term LDRM couples only)  Pang-entice lang muna kay jowa, wear something sexy (siyempre huwag mag-pajama o granny panty, gahd!) and experiment with the camera angle hangang sa maglaway si jowa. Wink, wink.

Add cherry on top! Use sex toys to stimulate yourself, moan and achieve orgasm kahit malayo kayo sa isa’t isa. Most importantly, huwag kalimutan isara ang pinto!

6. Plan for the future

Ang love, kina-career, so don’t forget to talk about your future together. Not necessarily wedding, ha, huwag atat, ok? Tipong, next year, mag-plano kayo ng roadtrip sa Ilocos.

Siyempre, like this ECQ/GCQ, a long distance setup is not forever, Kapit lang, tiis-ganda muna mga bes! Lilipas din ‘to. For now, enjoy muna!

Long distance relationships are not for everyone, pero kung mahal niyo talaga ang isa’t-isa, there’s always a way or the highway. Char! Basta if you make an effort, your love can blossom and endure. Tamang ganda lang ‘yan!
