There comes a point in some of our lives when we're forced to find out what it really means to be in a long-distance relationship.

It's an almost bittersweet feeling when we went from seeing our "person" at least a few times a day to awaiting their arrival after months of not seeing them.

To the infinite lunch and dinner dates, study dates, and doing-nothing dates, once we have to finally go our separate ways for an unknown amount of time, long distance relationships can often become jaded but it's the very little moments that count the most so here are a few signs that an outsider can tell whether you're in an LDR or not.

1. When you know you're homesick for an actual person.

I fully believe in the fact that a person can be homesick for a person, whether or not it's a person, place or thing. Missing said person similar to missing a specific memory or a place is just one of the many indications that your LDR is even somewhat meaningful.

2. There's an invisible stamp on your forehead stating how much of a relationship you're in.

I know that when I go out with my hot girlfriends, it's no surprise that they all get hit on close to a million and one times throughout the course of the night.

3. Planning months in advance to see them for one weekend and do absolutely nothing.

And by "planning" I mean planning on becoming straight hermits for two whole days.

4. Time is a gift in and of itself.

The very limited time you and your person have together every few weeks is both cherished and made the most of.

5. The "you-know-what" becomes better.

To be perfectly blunt, the sex becomes amplified and solely because you're apart from one another for days, weeks and sometimes months at a time.

6. The distance will never be a thing to get used to.

No matter how long you've been in a relationship that requires distance, I don't think it'll ever become something to necessarily get used to and that's just one of the cold truths about being in this.

7. It's much easier to become jealous of surrounding friends with their significant others than you like to admit.

And by 'jealous' I don't mean conniving or villainy but nostalgic of your own person and why they should be right there with you.

8. The little things matter so much more.

Watching the Giants game with bae doesn't seem so terrible anyway.

9. The hours on end phone call and FaceTime 'dates' are momentous.

These things may not seem like a big deal at all but not only are they worthwhile but all those times will most definitely add up to form a bigger end result.

10. Being able to survive such large distances between one another means one thing:

At the end of it all, it'll be for good.
