>>33352365 (OP)By making plans and verbalising those plans and most importantly, executing those plans. Those plans would be the plans and steps to close the distance, finding the options on how to move in with her somewhere, either her moving to you or you moving to her.
Long distance relationships only work if you are prepared to discuss moving in & marriage very early on. If you leave it to the far future and sleep on planning it, then the relationship will always dissolve and break apart without fail.
LDRs can only work if you are 100% certain you want it to work and you put in the work. Then you can rest easy and have yourself a happy married life somewhere. But only if you make those plans and build that bridge to close the gap.
Successful LDRs are ones where the main mission is to kill the long distance ASAP. Anything less never works.
