What do you do when you or your best friend moves to another city or country? Here are some ways for you to keep your long-distance friendships(远距离的友谊).

Make video calls often.

Don’t just send messages to your friends. It is important to talk with your friends face to face. Even if they live in different cities or countries, you can make video calls. If you are busy and can’t talk with them, let them know that. It is necessary to share important information about your life with your friends often. Show that you’re fascinated to know their life by asking them questions online about their everyday activities.

Remember important dates.

Do remember important dates like birthdays. It’s a good feeling to know that someone remembers the days that are special to you. Even if you happen to be busy, find a bit of time to send a message or call your friends on these important dates. Your friends will certainly be happy about it.

_________

You can surprise your friends by buying them small gifts. It is not necessary that you give them something very expensive. Everyone loves a surprise gift and getting a surprise gift from a friend will certainly bring a joy to their face.

Don’t depend only on technology.

Whenever you are free, you must certainly meet up with your friends. If your friends happen to be in the same city then, you must certainly make plans to meet them.
