M[25]Soliciting advice on how to have a successful long distance relationship for a newly started one

TL;DR : Asking for advice on how to maintain a successful long distance relationship

So prior to covid, I was seeing someone F[24] for around 2 months. Things were really going well, we saw each other 1-2 times a week, hung out, talked a lot, were having sex, etc. We talked about how we liked each other a lot but then covid happened and we went back to our parents places across the country. We still keep in touch, texting every day, FaceTime calling every week or two.

Early on, we mentioned that we liked each other a lot and then about a week ago, after a conversation about what we are looking for in a relationship and what it would entail, we decided to start one officially over long distance. Now, we won't be able to see each other til at least late summer/early fall, and we won't be simultaneously be living in the same city til at least January.

I was wondering if people had advice on how to have a successful long distance relationship. We are definitely texting and calling more, which we thought would be a good idea, and mentioned how we could have dinner dates and start a book reading club. Aside from that, I'm just working on myself to be the become the best version of myself for when I see her.
