Some background: I have 2 or 3 women I've been seeing. One of them F-closed. The other only BJ-closed. I've been running all the basics on them: DHV, leading, compliance tests, closing when possible, maintaining a healthy distance etc.

I'm traveling internationally for 3 weeks, leaving Sunday. I'm trying to work through some strategies for keeping them warm while I'm gone.

  1. The F-closed HB7. I'm not worried about her. She's totally hooked. She'll be fine with an email or facebook message a week.
  2. BJ-closed HB9. Been out 4 or 5 times with her. BJ-closed her but got ASD'd on the F-close twice. She's compliant with me when we're out but sometimes a bit flaky to get ahold of via phone/text. I have some concerns about maintaining her given that she is high social value and she knows it, ie. she is sometimes late for our dates by 10 minutes or does not offer to pay for rounds of drinks when we're out. I find ways to playfully call her out on these things. Anyway, she's facebooked me. I'm wondering if, for my trip, I should just (a) let her drop for the entirety of my trip, let her message me if she wants, and just call when I get back or (b) send her a DHV email or facebook message once or twice during my trip. By DHV email, I mean "hey - here is an article i referenced when we were out last" or "hey, my trip is awesome. look at all the cool stuff i'm doing. hope NYC is fun too". Also, what does /r/seddit think about Skype? I don't want to appear too needy/available while I'm in another fucking country having a fucking awesome time.

tl;dr - want to keep HBs at home warm while i'm traveling abroad.
