writes:Hiya, In a long distance relationship with my girlfriend, at first swe was always texting so many times a day even though she has two jobs and we always managed to see each other every couple weeks. But past couple weeks she has been distant, although to be fair this was explained that she was more knackered than normal plus she is stressing over Christmas. So it went from loads of texts a day to barely one or two a day, this isn't bothering me but I am wondering what I can do to try and help her and cheer her up?

 Dear Alex1982, when I said:"Do something unexpected and loving. Use your imagination. Be creative. Show you are prepared to go that bit extra", I was thinking of something more than a cuddly toy or flowers.
Like Clareamy said, take a day off work and show up at her door. Think outside the box. If you want this woman to feel special you have to do something original. It's too easy sending stuff in the post. You can do that from your phone these days.
Don't look to others for ideas. Do something you have thought up which will please her and which will also tell her that she is the most important girl in the world to you.

It obvious isn't it? Surprise her. Show up at the door with a massive bouquet of flowers. Yes you may miss a days work but she will remember it forever and he will be her hero. Life is about those moments :)

 FOOD!! Food always helped! I'm also in a LDR. My boyfriend rarely cooks and after a long day at work he'll just order take out from a restaurant. We'll be on the phone deciding what he wants for dinner, then I'll call the restaurant (with him on the phone), and I'll place the order for him letting them know my boyfriend will be by to pick it up. I remember one day it was snowing really bad and he was driving to pick up food but realized he had forgotten his wallet. I called the restaurant and pre-paid for his food with my card.
Maybe you can order and pre-pay dinner for her to pick or have it delivered to her house? It does help a lot to come home to a hot meal without needing to cook and clean. Or better yet, you make the meal and deliver it to her personally!
