Long Distance Relationships told by GossipGirl

Here's the low-Down on how to survive a long distance relationship and what better way than to include GossipGirl gifs in it

LETS BEGIN 

1. It is super freaking hard to do
2. Dont do it if you feel like he/she doesn't fully have their heart in it
3. Patience
4. Repeat number 3 over and over again, because you will need A LOT of it
5. Try not to start little fights; they're the worst (this is mostly for the ladies cause we are petty sometimes and want something to complain about)
6. Guys: OPEN UP TO YOUR BF/GF- this means talking about your day, what you did, etc. Your girlfriend isn't trying to grill you; she's just simply interested in what you did that day without her
7. Trust each other, no lies, if you're lying to them who's to say they aren't lying to you, TRUST, PEOPLE, TRUST             
8. Set up days when you can see each other, try to make it monthly or every 2-3 weeks. It helps a lot. Trust me. The more often you see each other, the more you will feel like an actual couple. It also gives you guys some time to yourselves, and it makes up for the late night Skype calls and text messages
9. You are going to hate seeing your friends with their bf/gf and when they complain about how they haven't seen each other in 2 days, you're going to want to slap them
10. Have Netflix movie night dates, pop up Skype and start the movie at the same time as each other, and if you're like me you will fall asleep regardless but its the thought that counts
11. Guys/Ladies send your bf/gf a gift (Ex: use Amazon to send it to their address, perfect way to give them a gift for a random reason, little gifts are great and make you feel happy)
12. You must be willing to make it work, that's the key to this whole thing
13. There will be some days that you want to be happy with someone else, but you have to think about how happy he/she makes you at the end of the day, would anyone be able to replace him/her? If you think someone else does, then you need to figure out what you're going to do to make yourself happy
14. You will get depressed, you will feel like you're missing out on so much in his/her life, but in the end you will be together living under the same roof, sleeping in the same bed, happy. 
15. It won't always be rainbows and butterflies there will be rough patches for the relationship, but that's the reason why you make a good team together, you work through it, and if that fails then they weren't the one for you
16. And if you just are too unhappy in the relationship ... but you still love each other deeply...
17. Say I love you.
