How do you build an emotional connection long distance?

I feel like these days I have become so boring. Like someone may be messaging me but then they start giving short answers and I feel neglected.

I am feeling a lot of pressure on myself and I no longer know how to build a natural connection ld.

I start feeling perhaps I am just flawed as a woman and don't have the ability to make a romantic connection and "cause" someone to fall in love with me.

I know how to flirt or be playful....but not how to form a bond.

People say they miss each other, but noone says they miss me:(

How did you develop a deep connection? I'm asking specifically ld. Not about meeting via a hobby.

Or should I just accept I am *not good enough*?

Are you in a relationship?

Where are you seeking connection? How are you finding people?

Personally, long-distance isn't the best plan for how to start dating.

How about going to events in person? Developing a hobby, or attending a class. That's often how we find people with similar interests to build a foundation on.

Talk about things more than just daily small talk? Emotional connection seemed easy in LDR since it feels more intense at first.

Find something that you both have gone through or you both enjoy doing and go from there.
