Long Distance Relationship

What are some good ways to make it work and last long until you are finally able to be with each other ☺️ ..I’m a person that like to talk on the phone and skype but he mostly just likes to text because he speaks German but knows English, he just doesn’t speak it much in Germany. Its not catfish I’ve skyped him before but its like anytime we skype its really only for like sex ....and i had asked him could we just skype to see each others face and text on there so we could be more connected but he said he will try without getting hard and i don’t know if he was trying to be funny 🙂
