Pay attention to what she said as well ^

Also, when you type email, tell her something. An email is not " I love you, call me later"
An email is you expressing yourself to her. Like above, treat it as if you where speaking right to her.
And send real cards and letters. There is something magical about actually writting a letter to the one you love, equaled almost as much by the magic they will feel when they receive it.

arch13, you have great advice as well, especially about the
quality of e-mails and cards/letters (<--nothing replaces a letter to someone, esp. at a distance... it makes you fall in love with them all over again). I think that's really, really important to remember, so it doesn't just become a habit. I think IM can be used like the phone, as long as the people do not take the conversation for granted or multi-task mentally (looking at other screens on the Web at the same time, etc). That is a big issue for me and ktspktsp at times, since he doesn't see IM as being "speaking right to her," I've figured out. But for me, phone and IM are pretty much the same thing... so make sure you communicate about your expectations re: method of communication!
