Long distance relationships can be challenging. Especially if you two weren't really an official "couple" before she left for this job.

If the communication is trailing off some... try not to worry too much about it. Could be anything, not necessarily anything bad. Just keep acting like normal, until you see or hear otherwise. Don't ask her - what's wrong.... or anything. Just let it go. Keep your end of the communication up.

Are there any plans to see each other in person any time soon? Either you go there or she come here?

Yeah she’s going to come back down in March and we had made plans to go out. I understand what you mean it’s probably her work. I will continue to communicate with her.

Her lack of communication could mean a number of things. Since you two were already communicating and she slowed down quite a bit after revealing that she felt the same as you, it could mean a number of things. However, rather than assume, I would directly ask her, "Hey, is everything ok?" and then she what she says. It could be that she is losing interest in you since she's not regularly seeing you in person, she could be seeing someone else or she could simply be busy and prioritizing other things and people in her life over you. Take the higher road and ask.
Even though the old cliche, "absence makes the heart grow fonder" is true on so many levels, absence can also make the heart grow farther if two people are fully committed to working on their long distance relationship.
Definitely communicate with her and keep an open mind because what she has to say may or may not be what you want to hear. Either way communication is key. That way if it doesnt work out you can walk away knowing that you tried your best. :)

That’s what I was sadly thinking but I think I will ask her because in the end it’s better to know.

Big hug for you blackpool…… I was in a long distance relationship once that eventually ended in a marriage

They do take a lot of effort.... We skyped regularly as well as talked

March is quite a ways away if you didn't start in a relationship.... Could you go to spend a couple of days before then?? or would you want to??

I would like to sooner but with our schedules it makes it a little difficult. We live on opposite sides of the US and both work and have school.

Maybe it would be easier to not put so much emphasis on this long distance relationship. Let it be more of a friendship for now. Focus on your current life. Since you won't see her for a long, long time. Continue going out with other friends, do things socially. Date if you meet another girl and want to. Life often gets hectic and sometimes people have other things to do than multiple phone calls or texting. It isn't bad to reconsider the distance and back off a bit, if that is what she is doing. If you can figure out a way to see her sooner, that would be good. But if not, let this relationship be on the back burner with great affection. Let the friendship continue to grow if she feels the same. When you see her again, things will either click or they will not.

Hi!
I am so sorry that you are feeling this distance. My only advice would be to be as straight forward as possible. It is hard to read someone and how they are feeling only over text and phone calls. If you just give her a call, ready to tell her exactly how you are feeling, and how you want to proceed with things so that she is not off-sided. You never know, she could be feeling the same exact way and you never knew! Also, just from personal experience of being in a long distance relationship, its common to just get caught up in what is in front of you when super busy. Don't take it all personally, she just may super busy.
Stay strong and I hope you get things figure out!!

It is very hard to be in a long distance relationship. I feel like it is even harder when you aren't really sure what you two even share together. I would suggest trying to form a deeper connection with them when you do get the opportunity to talk to them.
