Dating long distance is something that many people are open to. It can present some challenges, including financial ones. When mixed with free trial phone dating lines (phone calls often happen in any long-distance relationship), some of the following strategies can be beneficial.
A great tip: There are budget airlines that can be used to get fantastically discounted plane tickets, especially if you can plan well in advance and have the time to look for when specials come up. If you want to save even more money, pack a few snacks to bring on the plane with you, so you do not have to buy food at the airport. It surprises some people that for select cities and places a weekend trip can cost as little as it does.
If you use a backpack as your personal item and pick up a few toiletries at your final destination, you may not need to pack a carry-on bag or check a bag (many discount airlines charge extra for these).
Keep the phone dates going even after you have made plans to travel.
Sometimes, to get the best price on airline tickets, lodging, and rental cars, planning your trip at least a few weeks out is the best plan. Just because you have the trip date set, however, does not mean that you need to slow down or take a break from your phone dates. It also does not mean that you need to increase the frequency of your phone dates either. Keep things going as they were, the process that you already have seems to be working. Why would you be traveling to an entirely different city if it wasn’t?
Dating over the phone can lead to some fantastic adventures if you let it. The excitement that can come from finally meeting the person you have been talking with is a great feeling. Many people can be nervous about the journey and the meeting, but if the result of your hard work could be a lifelong love, it is worth it.
