Long-distance relationships can put a strain on romance, but there are ways to enjoy your time together from afar. Due to the presence of technology, you can still hear each other's voices and watch each other's expressions even if you are on separate sides of the world.
Online Board Games
If you feel like getting a little competitive with your partner, how about a board game night? There are plenty of online websites where you can play with friends, so you don't have to be in the same room to annihilate your significant other at scrabble! Board games are fun to shift up your interactions and give you something fun to do together.
Send Hampers
If you want to treat your partner but miss seeing their face glow up when opening, then send each other cute hampers filled with gifts and open them together on video chat. Fill the box with sweet treats, inside jokes, and items that show your love for an evening full of laughter and memories.
Watch a Movie
Get yourself cozy in bed with a bowl of popcorn and catch up on the latest flick with your other half. Some sites allow you to watch and video chat at the same time, so you can hear each other laugh, snort, and cry at the intense moments of the movie. Once the credits have rolled, the date can carry on while you ingest and dissect what you both just watched. Due to how much time you'll be spending with your partner on a screen, you might need blue light glasses to prevent eye strain!
Dine In
Just because you are far away doesn't mean you can't enjoy a meal together. You could even order takeout for each other! Get a similar meal, prop your phone or laptop up on your dining table, light a few candles, and enjoy the food and the company.
Do a Quiz
Test each other's knowledge by competing with each other at a quiz, and make it interesting by giving a prize to the winner or a dare to the loser. If you want to personalize the quiz, you could even create the questions for each other: when was our first kiss? Home-made questions are sure to lead to endless conversations.
Play Truth or Dare
Another fun game to play together is truth or date. OK, it's mostly played by young kids, but why not relive a bit of your childhood together? You might just end up learning more than you thought and come out of it even closer than before.
Share Weekly Experiences
Being apart is rough, and you might feel left out of your significant others' life; and a way to rectify this is to schedule weekly catch-ups. Set a date and time each week to video call each other and take turns filling the other in on all the week's events. You should include the mundane stuff like what you had for breakfast and the favorite outfit you wore—it all counts toward making you feel close!
