‘Perfect formula’ for successful long-distance relationship revealed

The secret to a successful long-distance relationship for university students has been unveiled by mathematician Bobby Seagull. He analysed data from 1,000 individuals aged between 18 and 30 who were in a long-distance relationship during their university years.

The formula he developed reflects the effort put into the relationship versus the challenges faced. According to this formula, the higher your Long-Distance Love index, the more likely your relationship will succeed. It was developed following research involving 1,000 adults aged 18-30 who are or were in a long-distance relationship while studying.

The study found that these couples typically only saw their partners three times per month, travelling an average of 171.3 miles each time.

As a result, they would spend nearly £170 every month on travel costs to see their loved ones. However, 85% believe they would have seen, or would see, their long-distance partner more if there were more affordable travel options.

The researched showed that while 30% would drive and 27% would catch a bus, the majority of these journeys were completed by train (72%), which can come at a high cost.

Sarah added: “Our research shows that it’s clear that the cost of a long-distance relationship can cause friction. Constant train travel can really add up, which is why hopping on a coach between cities is often far more affordable.

“With hundreds of frequent coaches serving destinations across the UK, it means students have one less thing to worry about and can make the most of their budget while spending precious time with their long-distance loves.”

The ‘perfect formula’ was created by considering a range of factors such as the number of miles students travelled to see each other, the number of texts exchanged, the frequency of calls, and how often they expressed their love for each other.

On average, a typical person would send their partner a staggering 68 messages daily and would chat with them on the phone four times.

In addition, they would miss approximately four-and-a-half days’ worth of lectures or classes due to visiting their long-distance partner.

Overall, 72% confirmed that their long-distance relationship has been successful and they’re still together.

According to those in long-distance relationships at university, the keys to success are daily communication with your partner, either through calls or a stream of texts, and understanding that being apart isn’t permanent.

Bobby Seagull added: “If they stick to the numbers there is a high chance they can make this work.”
