Relationship Advice

Difficult situation. Normally with 'online' relationships my advice would be to progress to 'in person' relationship ASAP. But I'm sure you already know that.

Video chats are the next best thing. Arrange regular ones, maybe even eat together like an online dinner date, or have some drinks and really relax together. And if you are really frustrated about the lockdown situation - that's ok, you can bond over that too. Tell her all the lovely things you would like to do together once it is over. Maybe even make some detailed plans together.

 

Ask yourself wether you actually can't meet her or if you're just being a wus. I have been in two online relationship. In first I never met the girl and in second I only saw her once during our four months together. The reason being I felt like we couldn't meet more often because we lived too far apart and had school etc. Later on as I've grown older, more mature and more assertive I've realized that had I really put my mind into it, we could have propably managed to meet more often. So I would advice you yo really ask yourself if you actually just can't come up with a way for you two to meet.

Even with the whole pandemic thing going on I think you could figure out something, unless either one of you is at risk or your country has strict restrictions or something like that. I get it, you don't want to make the situation any worse by spreading the virus, but do you really think it's realistic for you to put your social life on a complete break for an indefinite time? According to your profile you are a 20 year old man. You are at the age to live your life, try a lot of stuff and establish your future. How do you think you'll manage your life later on if at the age of twenty you'll get used to jerking off at home alone with no social life? I don't usually recommend being recless and selfish, but imo it's now or never for you. Even one date every now and then could do so much good to you and propably wouldn't make the pandemic any worse.

However if you can't get to meet her, go with what fredisthebes said. However don't feel like it's up to you to prove your love or save your relationship. If your relationship can't last through this, you desperately giving it cpr is unlikely to work.

 

In my culture we have a saying "distant relationship, all four of them happy"
Different country? That's too much mate
For a second I'd though you couldn't see her because of lockdown or because she was from a couple towns away and this time makes it difficult to move between areas.
My advice? Move over it, as soon as you can....

I've been there mate, and it was even in the same country, not like a different country....the chances of it getting real and a proper relationship are so small that's ridiculous.

Sorry for the harshness, but I'm speaking from the heart with your best interest in mind. Probably not what you want to hear anyway...

 

Oh, I see.

Try to find new things to do together. For instance you could try some multiplayer game. Also remember to live your own life. If you never do anything exiting, you'll have little to no new things to talk about, and thus it'll get increasingly difficult to hold up a conversation. Also remember that some amount of boringness will be inevitable sooner or later, because no relationship can be new and exiting all the time. Love isn't just fuzzy feelings of love and eternal happiness. Your relationship will eventually go through some hard times and some boring times. If it can't last through that, there's nothing you can do.
