great nabubabu, exactly the five things are required for a relation.what i personally feel is that relation must always b exciting.both the partners should come up with a new idea to make each others happy n make them feel that yeah he/she is there for each other.they do care for each other. a realtion without any excitement and anxiety is not a relation, it is a key to frustration, depression and boredom.sharing of gifts shows how much u care,words of appreciation shows u r there for her/him when u r alone,acts of service shows the readyness to do n die when needed and physical touch shows the devotion towards long term relationship.about time?? well don need to say i anything i guess.specially for geographicaly challenged couple sharing of gifts n some written words from time to time is very important. lonely, even i would suggest u like nabubabu coz u have written in ur second comment that he is not completely into another girl.if it is so may be he got disappointed.u should try to understand his needs.sharing is loving.u never get low by giving in love, the more u give , more u recieve.love is a balance, who puts more love has more weight. by the way single_wannabe i don understand what u mean by every relatioh should up in happiness.ending of a relation is never joyful.if u can end up happily that means there was no love, u were burden to each other.ending of a realtion teach some lessons.n don take breaking up so easily.every relation is made up of compromises."the more u wait , harder it'll be".that is what love is: its attachment.if u can easily leave someone, that means loving was for selfishness.once ur selfishness is not fulfilled, u r ready to move away easily but of course there r somethings in life which u can not compromise and that can be concluded mutually n move out but in this case of lonely i would say no pressure give him love.he will feel it n if he does not stop , he will find the gap and difference. astu:
