706.19 miles :) I'm using a calling card, since I don't have a cell phone / good long distance carrier (I think we just have local long distance)

try unlimited mobile to mobile :) my number was local to hers so I'd text message her and she'd call me :) racked up quite a few minutes there. This was Riverside - Santa Cruz. I'd suggest getting a cell phone- for about $40/mo you can get unlimited nights and weekends and long distance, at least with Verizon.

edit:

oh, and Netmeeting works well too :) get her a webcam as a present or something

Why not test the relationship, and make her call you for awhile? ;)

I swear, it's not us that always needs to do all the chasing, unless you feel so insecure. Women are like cats, they really could care less, and need less nurturing than us dogs, who seem to think we need all control, at all times. Only once married, do the become very dependent. :Q

I beg to differ. If you have a girlfriend who craves attention, she will call you and chase you all the freaking time creating drama if you don't. You have no idea.

I think its great you care so much, that you want to talk to her so often, good for you! Don't listen to the negative nellies in this thread, as long as you are both happy with the situation, and with the way you guys talk, I would think you both are, so its all good. :)

Jeez, just because you guys haven't had good relationships with women, you have to be bitter when someone else does? Heres a clue boys, maybe its not the women. Maybe the problem is staring back at you in the mirror. If all you have are problems with every woman you have ever been with, then the problem is you, I hate to break it to you.

Wise words from a wise women! (Even if she is a youngin ;))

Technically communication is the exchange of data (be it thoughts, ideas, speech). The telephone is just one way of doing this. Ask anyone I know how hard it is to reach me via phone, then ask them how fast I respond to E-mails, or MSN. :)

She calls me always, but she only gets 20 minutes (LD) or her parents will freak out, so I call her back.

What are you talking about LD = suck!?

1) Low maintenance - don't have to wine and dine as often
2) Freedom to do what you need to without her taggin along
3) The time spent talking to her would of been spent talking to her if she was there anyways :D
4) All you want S-E-X when you see each other (if you are of age, of course ;))
5) No weekend trips to to mall (unless she's there of course)

How can you lose? Take those guys advice and get unlimited nights and weekends.

You shouldn't be using traditional pre-paid calling cards, you're paying way to much!

1) First of all you and your g/f should both switch to AT&T Residential Long Distance and get $75 for FREE, that's a total of $150. Then switch your long distance plan to AT&T's UNLIMITED for $19.95 per month.
2) Or each of you should get a cell phone which has FREE UNLIMITED mobile-to-mobile minutes, there are a few suggestions here, I would switch to VoiceStream Wireless for $69.99 per month you get 800 weekday anytime minutes shared, UNLIMITED weekend minutes AND UNLIMITED cell to cell minutes.
3) If you want instant and immediate gratification for dirt cheap then sign up for BigZoo.com which is only 75 cents per month and 1.9 cents per minute, no connection charges, recharge your PIN online, never have to enter your PIN number again with their PINSkip feature, detailed online billing and more!

Ross, you rock!

I don't want a cell phone, and she's only gone for a week so I don't want to switch LD Providers, so I'm going to go with BigZoo.

That's just how my mind functions ... no matter what I'm thinking about, my first thought is always "Can I get it cheaper than retail?"

I would switch to AT&T (you can always switch back - you two are going to turn away $150 in FREE money?)

$150 FREE / 1.9 cents per min = 7,894 FREE minutes = 131 FREE hours of phone time
