Millionaires don’t stay in one place for long. They travel a lot in general and most of them “summer” somewhere that’s not their home. It could be the Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard, Whistler, Montecito or any of the fancypants, hard-to-get-to destinations that aren’t boiling hot during the summer months. If you’re dating a millionaire and aren’t summering with him – either because you’re too new of a couple to travel together or your responsibilities at home won’t let you leave for three full months – here’s how to keep dating each other despite the distance.
Set rules
First things first, you two need to figure out what kind of couple you’re going to be while you’re separate. Be honest with yourself. If you’re not going to be able to be faithful while he’s away or if you’re not comfortable with him dating other people over the summer, flat out say it. Manage his expectations and yours now. Also, set guidelines for how often you two are expected to be in touch and when he’ll be coming home. Successful long distance dating, even if it’s temporary, is all about solid communication and clear guidelines.
Visit him
Just because you don’t have the option of summering with him doesn’t mean you can’t visit. Take a weekend or a week and go see your boo. Check out what his life is in this special summer destination and find out what he digs about this place. If it’s possible, visit him more than once. The summer can be long and lonely if you don’t break it up.
Love letters
Yes, I mean actual letters. Write him notes and mail them to him. It was romantic in the Notebook and it’s romantic in real life. Also, send him care packages. If you know he loves something special you make, pack it up and mail it off to him. You could also send things you know he can only get at home. The idea is to give him something tangible that reminds him of you and how much he misses you.
Sexy updates
Here’s where you can get digital. Flirt and get sexy over text, email, SnapChat and the phone. Word of caution: Know that anything you send to him could be hacked and shared over the internet. So, don’t do full nudes or write anything truly revealing. But, cute tasteful pics and little flirty messages are totally kosher to send.
Have your own fun
Girl, have your summer, too. Even if you’re not “summering” somewhere, you can still have fun. Live your own life while he’s away. Hang with friends, use your extra time to work out or pursue new hobbies, explore your city. You had fun before you met your guy, be sure you still know how to have it, even if he’s not around.
Hope you all are having fabulous summers, no matter where your boo is right now!
