Four Ways to Stay Friends Even When You’re Far Apart

Have fun with your bestie no matter what

Your thoughts (141)

Sometimes your best friend doesn’t live near you. So you guys might not hang out often. But your friendship doesn’t have to end. There are many more ways to keep in touch.

How? We’ll fill you in.

  1. Pictures: You can send pictures and selfies to each other. It coold be a funny picture just to have a good laugh. Or a picture of something one of you likes. Also, you can make a selfie album filled with fun stuff. It’ll be the best thing ever.
  2. Group Chats: Create a special group chat only for both of you. Make it your very own safe space. Tell each other anything and everything. Ask about each other’s day, share your concerns and advice each when needed. Laugh out loud with jokes and memes. Besides, it’s a good way to stay safe. Before going out, tell your bestie where you’re going and who you’re with. Near or far, you shoold always have each other’s backs.
  3. Mobile Games: Games are a great way to bond. Some of them let two or more people connect from afar. This means you and your bestie can play whenever you want. Don’t take it seriously. It’s not about winning. It’s about bonding and having fun.
  4. Music and Videos: Share your favourite songs and video clips with your bestie. You can sing and laugh together—even though you’re not really together. Go ahead and make many wonderfol memories. That’s real friendship.

Hey Pretty_val_32! First of all, you are not besties with the guy because you both are not close. A bestie is your closest friend. He is just a friend to you but he chose to call you 'bestie'. You have to be sure that his GF does not have a problem with it. Also, you have to be sure of the reasons why you want to be close friends with him. We hope this helps

Hey Springster! Determination and trust. This are very important in a long distance relationship. Both parties have to be determined to make it work and they both need to trust one another. We hope this helps.

Thanks for this. My best friends and I are far apart now due to moving and schooling. I appreciate this a lot

Hey Cute! You can send him a text before calling him to know if it is a good time for you to call him or you both can agree on a good time for you to call him. We hope this helps

Hey tega! Talk to your friend about this. She is probably bad at keeping in touch or doesn't have money or isn't intentionally doing this. Telling her politely will make her know how you feel. We hope this helps

I dnt know bt if it's me i will tell ha wat ha mother told me nd i will just be frnds bt nt dat close any more

Hey Rovieno! Thanks for the comment. You cannot blame your friend for what her mom did. It is totally not her fault. You should definitely tell your friend so that she is aware of what her mom did but do not let it affect your relationship with her because she has nothing to do with it at all. Next time, it is best to know the kind of parents your friends have so that you know what to avoid when going to see them. We hope this helps

Pls big sister there was guy which hpn to be my friend my classmate but whenever i saw is picture i use to falling love with i love him so much somtime i fil like calling him in the night one day i ask him at his gf he told me he did nt have i have never have filling for guy like this pls big sister what can i do?

Hey Bright! Thanks for the comment. You need to take it easy and be sure that what you feel is really love and not a crush. Also, the fact that he doesn't have a girlfriend does not automatically mean that he loves you. Take your time to get to know him better especially to know his likes, dislikes, and behavior too. We hope this helps

Hey bonnie! Thanks for the comment. If she is on social media, you can drop messages for her to see whenever she is online or you can tell her to call or text you whenever she has access to a phone so that you both can talk. You can also plan to meet at a point ahead of your next meeting. We hope this helps
