I have screwed this up in the past, and I was wondering if anyone has figured out a better way. For context, last year myself and a girl I had very high interest in started a relationship right before summer break (about two months) at university. It was great at the time but we were facing a super long distance because she lived in a different state about 7 hours away. Long story short we fell out of contact over the summer and It was never the same after that despite the good relationship beforehand (not official obviously).

So what I’m asking is how do you keep a high value woman’s interest when facing this kind of separation? Is that even something that I should’ve been trying for given the circumstances? Anyone who has faced a similar situation I’d love to hear advice/experiences.
