My text and questions will be normal font, Sammi's in italics. We're both going to be answering questions in this chapter, like the one we did on her page. (Also we refer to each other as 'you' because we wrote these answers talking on video chat)

What are we going to do this year to help us close the distance?
Video chat as much as possible, and text as much as possible, and you're coming to Tennessee right?

I'm absolutely trying my best to convince my parents to let me go to Tennessee. Plus hopefully you're coming to Florida next summer so I can drive up to see you then.

How can we save money for visits?
I'll stop buying as much Weigels and send you money

Don't send me money. I'll get a job and just hope and dream that people will support me on patreon lmao

What is one goal for us as a couple?
Get to meet in real life, like off video chat.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for too. I just want to be able to see you in real life and hug you. (Btw she can't see my answers until she reads this when it goes up, so I'm trying to be as cute as possible)

How can we better communicate this year?
Stop hiding things! I need to stop hiding things too, both of us do. You agree?

Ahaha yeah........ I'll try

What is one thing we learned last year about our relationship that can help us better our relationship this year?
That we should be in one. That mutual silent pining in a poor decision.

Lmao true

Did our communication habits work for us last year? If not, how can we fix them to be more successful this year?
They did not because we didn't talk about the obvious. I think we need to actually talk about things and not be awkward about the obvious.

Honestly I think she's just calling us both out on these questions so I'm just agreeing with her lmao

What special occasions are coming up? How do we want to celebrate?
Our 4 months, Christmas, I think we're just acknowledging that 4 months is a thing not go anything special for it. Then for Christmas we're doing gifts, the secret project is happening. And then we're exchanging oneshots for New Year's Eve.

Yeah I think she got everything there too. There's not much for me to answer here, is there?

Do you trust me?
Absolutely. I don't know why I wouldn't. I trust you without a doubt.

Holy shit she said that so fast. I'm very glad. I obviously trust her completely too. She's amazing and I love her so much.

Do you think I trust you?
I would hope so. I hope I never gave you any reason to not trust me.

Same here. I'd never do anything to try and break that trust.

Where do you see us at the end of this year?
Probably about the same place as we are now cause it's only another month.

Honestly probably both in our beds bc were always tired lmao

When do you want to close the distance?
As soon as humanly possible, and as soon as it's logical too.

Listen the second I have my parents permission and the money to I'm gonna be right out the fucking door on my way to Tennessee to see you I can't wait

When do you think is a reasonable time frame to close the distance?
Within the next year or two, preferably the next year.

Same answer. I'm doing that too much but we just agree on so many big things like these lol

How has distance helped us grow individually?
I don't know how it's helped you, but I'm definitely more thankful for the time we do get to hang out.

Yeah, I absolutely value all of our time together so much. But also it sucks and I can't wait to kiss you and hug you and just be there next to you like fucking hell man being able to hold your hand would be heaven

Where do you want to be in five years? Ten years?
London, also London. Cause in five years I will be just about to finish my last year of college, and in ten years I'll be done with college, I want to go to London.

With you. That's all I care about.

What is one piece of advice you would tell someone about long-distance relationships?
It's not like the books say it is. It takes a lot more work than you'd think.

Be ready to miss the person you love 24/7. And to sleep cuddling a pillow bc you can't cuddle your S/O.

Do you ever regret doing long distance?
No. It's time I get to spend with you, I'd never regret it.

That's adorable. Same here. It just means that when I do get to do simple things like holding your hand or hugging you it's going to be ten thousand times better because I've been waiting and hoping for it for so long.

What is something you want to learn to do this year?
Speak French.

Speak more French, sign language, Latin, and just in general learn something new every single day even if it's not something I'd typically be interested in researching. I just love expanding my knowledge in general.

What is something you want to learn together?
Either French or sign language. We seem to both be interested in those.

I like both learning new things, and talking to you, so I want to learn all the new things together

Do you ever get jealous?
Of your doggos, cause I want that attention. And if we're not just talking relationships definitely. I'm jealous that your family gets to see you everyday and hug you.

She stole my answer lol. I'm also jealous that there's people who get to see her irl and I'm stuck all the way in Florida.

Explain some situations that spark jealousy.
We already did this whoops

Are you ever afraid that I'll cheat on you?
No.

I'm not either.

Are you ever afraid you'll cheat?
Nope.

Nada

What is your least favorite part of a long-distance relationship?
I can't hug you and kiss you and give you affection. Cause I really want to hug you. Actually I can't tell if I want to hug you or be hugged.

I would give you the biggest possible hug if I could rn. Not being able to see each other irl sucks a lot.

What is your favorite part of a long-distance relationship?
This. Video chatting. As much as I hate falling asleep on video chat cause it means abandoning you, it means I get to fall asleep doing my absolute favorite thing.

Video chatting is nice but I just want to reach through the screen and hug you now. I love you so fucking much

Did you have doubts when we first started long distance?
Yes. I was afraid I wouldn't be enough, you'd decide you didn't like me anymore, etc., etc..

I was just in shock that you liked me back so I was too euphoric to doubt anything.

If we had a child someday who ended up in a long-distance relationship, would you support it? What three pieces of advice would you give to them?
Of course. Communicate, don't be afraid to set your own boundaries, and no is a very easy word.

Definitely agree with all of those, even in a non LDR. Communicating and being able to say what you like and don't like is very important.

Have we both been doing our part to close the distance?
I think so, yeah. I mean you definitely put more effort in than me but there's only so much I can do.

I think we definitely do. You offer to send me money way too much though.

What are you looking forward to most when we close the distance?
Hugging you.

Same. And literally everything else. Just being able to go on a proper date sounds so amazing to me I can't wait to be able to do that.

What about long distance is easier than you expected?
I thought that we'd never be able to talk and never be able to find time to do it but we have.

I was just worried that you wouldn't like the idea of a LDR. Also that you wouldn't like me in general lmao. So that turned out easier than expected.

What about long distance is harder than you expected?
I miss you a lot.

I miss you too. 💜 The time I have to wait to hold you in my arms is way too far away. Even if it were tomorrow.

Do you feel loved?
Mhm. Definitely. I mean, how could I not?

Yeah, obviously. You're amazing.

How can I make you feel special even when we can't be together?
You do it enough as is. You rearrange your schedule and ditch things you like to do just to spend time with me.

You already do too.

(By the way, we're on hour two of this bc we keep getting distracted in the middle of questions lol. Oops.)

What kind of date nights could we incorporate into our relationship when we are apart?
Video chat, watching Thomas Sanders.

I'd love to come up with more ways of having dates over video chat, I just don't currently have any. But watching Thomas Sanders was a lot of fun that one night.

What would you consider your greatest weakness when it comes to our relationship?
We care too much.

I'm not entirely sure that's a bad thing. Though it does lead to a lot of crying on both of our ends unfortunately. I'm not sure I have an answer to this question.

What quality about me do you envy?
Your logic. You don't jump to the first emotional conclusion.

Your determination to be better. To keep getting up and trying your best. It's amazing, you're so so brave and I'm honestly insanely proud of you for being that way. You're gonna become an astounding actress and writer one day(especially since you're already great).

What quality do I have that you wish I didn't have?
You bottle everything up. And you're oblivious.

I could say the same for you about both.

What moment in our relationship did you feel loved the most?
When you started crying.

When I told you we could talk again and even though you're tired you decided to get back on to talk more. Even tho you withhold the information that you need to be up in a few hours-

What was one defining moment in our relationship?
You texting me at 3AM asking if I wanted to date you.

...I mean yeah, that one was a pretty important one.

Do you think your family supports our relationship? If they don't, why not?
No because they don't know about it.

I know my dad and sister don't care, but my mom doesn't know we're together bc she absolutely would care and so would everyone else in my family.

Since starting long distance, do you think we have grown as a couple?
Yes, because now it's an actual relationship.

Yeah, I do think this question is targeted for people who started dating and then became LD tho. But Sammi's answer is good.

Since starting long distance, do you think you've grown as an individual?
Yes. Um, you've made me a better person.

I don't have a good enough answer for this ahhhh-

Who is your biggest role model?
Go check out Sammi's tag we answered this one there

Would you change any aspect of our relationship?
I wish it was in person. I also wish we'd gotten together earlier.

I was gonna say, have it not be a LDR lol.

Would you change any aspect of yourself?
All of them?
No.
Fine. Um, personality wise or physically? Can I do both? Let's do both. Personality- I wish I didn't let people walk all over me and I wish I knew how to stand up for myself, and that I was less emotional. Physically- nothing.

Personality-I wish I'd be more open and less embarrassed to talk feelings. Physically-I just want top and bottom surgery dammit

When the day comes, how do you want to celebrate closing the distance?
A lot of kissing, and hugging, and food.

Those are fantastic answers. All of those. And definitely lots of saying I love you ten million times.

What things do you look forward to most in life?
Talking to you, reading your texts, texting you, seeing you smile, you, you again, still you.

Same, plus getting to meet you and kiss you. I can't wait.

How can I better support your dreams?
You already support them amazingly.

Same with you. You're very encouraging and sweet.

Do you ever feel like being in a long-distance relationship holds you back?
I mean, I can't kiss you but that's about it.

I can't kiss you, hug you, hold your hand, take you on proper dates, I can go on

What do you look forward to most this year?
Ending it with you.

Everything to do with you?

What do you want to be our relationship goals for this year?
Be happy.

I think that's a great goal.

Anyways, there's the end of that. Now I'm going to get off here so Sammi can read this and she can get some sleep bc she really really needs some. Thanks for reading. Take care. Bye!-Oliver
