To me maturity matters more than age. I don't care about age while dating.

Many women do not believe that there can be a strong relationship between an young man and her with regard to her age. The worries come when she is older than her man. Women forget that there are so many celebrities older than them who have managed to build a strong relationship with young men. Money has never built a stronger relationship. Nothing, in a strong relationship, Beats honesty, I trust and faithfulness.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP WORK

Let no one cheat you, dating while geographically
separated is hard but not impossible.
Long distance relationships have been considered
impossible for the longest time and for good reason.
Most people do not know how to handle being
separated from their partner physically on a daily
basis. The truth is, this type of relationship dynamic
comes with many challenges which require a specific
set of solutions in order to work.
Here are a few key tips that can make your long
distance relationship work and last.

1. Lay out your rules and expectations
Before you part ways, ensure that you have a deep
and serious conversation on what you both expect
from each other. Write down some of the boundaries
that you should have as far as the relationship is
concerned. You should also ensure that you clearly
define the exclusivity of the relationship to prevent
arguments and eventually, break ups.

2. Know each other’s routines
One tricky aspect of the long distance dynamic is the
misaligned routines. When you are on different time
zones especially, it can be difficult to find common
time frames to bond. Let your partner know your
work and daily schedule so that you can prevent
inconveniences and misunderstandings which will
trickle down to trust. You’ll be able to set time for
date nights, video calls and other activities you enjoy
doing together.

3. Trust your partner
Any relationship whether close or long distance is
built on trust. Breaking this trust can be very
detrimental to any relationship. On the same note,
insecurities are also a major cause of break ups.
Avoid this by openly communicating with your
partner and reassuring them whenever they feel
insecure. You should also be honest on your part to
prevent unnecessary confusion. Don’t be quick to
judge situations. A constantly insecure partner puts a
strain on the relationship.
Deal with trust issues before you part ways as this
will allow you to believe that the other person will
remain loyal while you are away from each other.

4. Effective communication
Many people assume that the best way to keep a
long-distance relationship going is by constantly
being glued to their phones and talking all day,
every day. Some relationship experts advise that it is
not necessary to talk every day because you are
bound to get bored, with no new stories to talk
about. Focus on having quality conversations rather
than many meaningless ones. That way, the
relationship stays exciting and prevents you both
from feeling smothered.

5. Invest in technology
Thanks to the tech world, there are many ways that
a long-distance relationship can be maintained.
These days, there are amazing gadgets such as
watches, pillows, bracelets, rings, lamps and even sex
toys that synchronize touch. These gadgets have
been designed specifically for long-distance lovers to
minimize the effects of loneliness. Look into
purchasing one or two LDR gadgets to add some
spice to your relationship.

6. Be committed to visits
Schedule regular visits with your partner whenever
you’re able to. This will help you keep the love alive
as you catch up. Also, allow your visits to be flexible
rather than filling your to-do list when your partner
is in town. Be more focused on quality time with
them rather than the planned out activities. Go with
the flow and make the visit worthwhile.

7. Patience
This is a very key element for a successful long-
distance relationship. When your partner is miles
away from you, it can be very difficult and lonely.
This puts you in a vulnerable position and you or
your partner can be tempted to give up altogether.
The truth is, a long-distance relationship cannot
work without a patient mindset. Be ready to be alone
most of the time until you are able to be together
fulltime.
