Over the last two weeks, I had at least three conversations with
people who are dating someone long-distance! Then, I received an email from an on-line organization
that accepts and publishes “Top Ten” lists, this one entitled “The Top Ten Ways to Sustain a
Long Distance Relationship”" You can get a look at it by pasting this link into your browser: http://www.topten.org/public/BB/BB414.html.
If you read my blog posting of Dec. 12th, 2003, you’ll remember that I’m a big
advocate of making the most of dating by phone, especially if you’re dating someone long
distance. In order to facilitate getting to know someone, I like to recommend this
book: Don't You Dare Get Married Until You Read This!, by Corey Donaldson.
It is a book containing 500 questions that couples can ask each other while dating, even though
Donaldson started writing the book after he got engaged to his (now) wife and they were living on
opposite sides of the world for six months. The questions can be asked and answered either by
phone or email.

One woman I gave the book to liked it, although many of the questions were
(in her words) “Duh”. But she, like others, can look through them and decide which
ones to ask your long-distance dating partner so that you're not just saying “oh, I miss you,
I wish we could be together,” all of the time. The information that you gather can then help
you determine if you actually do want to see each other again, or not. Good luck!
