It can be difficult to read the signs in a long distance relationship. It's even harder for how to tell if a guy likes you long distance. Let's not even get started on if the long-distance boyfriend loves you!
True love in a long distance relationship, however, never fails to make itself clear. If you feel secure in your relationship, you'd know it.
So how can you know if the guy you're with truly loves you? Well, we can fall in love while in long-distance relationships. The trick is knowing how.
Here's how to tell if a guy likes you long distance:
Read about several signs a man is in love in a long distance relationship below!
1. He treats you well and with respect, even from far away.
A guy who loves you is considerate of your feelings, needs, and desires. He makes them as important as his desires and needs.
Just because he's in a different zone doesn't mean he can't give you the attention you deserve.
Responding to texts and calls, leaving voicemails, and sending you treats in the mail is proof that he prioritizes his long distance significant other.
2. He's generous with his time.
He doesn't let too much time go by without talking to you on the phone.
If you're in a healthy and happy long-distance relationship, he is spending time with you whenever your schedules allow. And you are together during major holidays such as Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve.
3. He makes you a priority.
You are at the forefront of his mind and he maintains contact in between the times you see each other. He considers you when making decisions and is considerate about doing things you want to do.
When speaking, he uses "we" instead of "I" and includes you in his future plans.
He still knows everything going on in your life, even if he's not there in person.
4. He cares for you.
A guy who loves you is genuinely happy for you when good things happen to you. He is compassionate when you're going through challenges.
Who do you call after a rough day? When you're having a hard time, do you feel like you can talk over facetime?
5. He wants his friends to know about you.
All of his new friends know your name and everything about you.
He updates you on his life, and when you finally get the chance to meet you they say things like, "we've heard so much about you."
6. He treats your relationship with integrity.
He does what he says and will let you know if he's not able to. When issues come up, he is willing to work through them even if he's not in person.
He doesn't use distance as an excuse to drop the ball.
7. He wants the absolute best for you.
A guy who loves you encourages you to do things you love, even if it means doing these things without him. He wants you to spend time with family and friends.
He encourages you to find and live your passions, knowing that if you are happy and engaged with life, you'll be happy and engaged in your relationship with him.
He wants to talk to you on the phone all of the time, but he lets you live your best life. And he lets himself live his best life too.
8. You Trust Him
You don't feel like there are random girls or guys in his life that he's secretly locking lips with.
He's so attentive and communicative about what he's doing and how much he misses you that it doesn't even cross your mind.
9. They say goodnight to you.
Even if it's a quick five-minute phone call, your significant other will make an effort to wish you a goodnight.
10. He sexts you nonstop.
You can tell he's into it, if he's, well, into it.
If he's sending you sexy texts and wanting to get a little freaky over time, it means he values his sexual connection with you and only you.
11. He's active on your social media.
Red flag if he's started ghosting you online.
Maybe he's not the type to post an 'I miss you' photo on Instagram, but he'll at least respond to your comments.
12. You're still able to resolve conflicts.
It can be difficult to make up when there's no making out involved.
However, a sign he's still into you is if he doesn't like to let the tension linger.
How do you know if a guy misses you long distance?
Don't overthink this one. You know if a guy misses you long distance if he says it — and if his actions hold up to his words.
The red flags in a long distance relationship are not being present and leaving your messages on read.
Obviously, the hardest thing about being in a long distance relationships is the lack of phsyical contact.
Still, there are ways to make up for no-touching, got it?
