You met over holiday and had the most amazing connection. Just because your life calls you back to the real world does not mean that your heart is going to. For many couples the issue of relocation is a deal breaker, but it doesn’t have to be.

Enter Skype! I have experienced first hand the magical connecting powers of Skype; a program that connects lovers, friends, family members and those in pursuit of the perfect business deal. I personally have been using it as a love connector with my man who lives, Gasp, in England while I pine for him in Florida. The magic starts as soon as you down load this program, completely free of charge. The free of charge bit makes these two student lovers very happy indeed, as our money needs to be saved for plane tickets, not wasted on phone calls.

However, there is more. Not only can you chat away for unlimited hours, you actually get to see each other, in live time! Web cams are your friend. It is just as though you are hanging out together and provides that same air of comfort as when you are together. If a silence arises it is comfortable, unlike those terrible awkward moments on the phone where you are pressured by the silence to make quick good-byes. The only down fall is feeling that you have to look presentable to sit at your computer. As far as I know, web cams do not offer the air-brushing option just yet.

I am going to see him in two and a half months and I hold high hopes that with our daily visits on Skype we will be able to act as much like any other pair in love, even if we are separated by an ocean.
