Valentine's Day is here, and if you've checked our tips on creating the perfect Valentine's date, you may have something in mind for your loved one today.
However, there are others who can't spend Valentine's Day with their beau, and you may be one of them as well. Maintaining long-distance relationships can be difficult to maintain, but it isn't and shouldn't be impossible if you have the will to do so. Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to show how much you love your partner and more.
Here are some tips for you to consider to help you make that Valentine's date happen despite being in a long-distance relationship:
Watch A Movie Together
Watching a movie together with your sweetheart despite the distance between you is no longer impossible, thanks to the technological advancements we have today.
Apps like Discord, Zoom, Skype, and even Facebook's Messenger app allow you to stream your screen for your loved one to see, allowing them to watch a movie together with you.
Just remember to choose a movie both of you will find interesting or a romantic one from our list.
Play Or Stream Video Games
The video game industry is now at a point where online games are more popular than single-player ones, though there is a strong market for both.
Playing online games together makes for a fun date, especially if it's cooperative, like It Takes Two. However, streaming a game is just as fun as playing them, though how much fun your partner will have depends on the game you'll choose.
Games like Heavy Rain and Road 96 are great games to stream to your loved one as it allows you to let your partner participate by telling you their choice in dialogue and gameplay.
Get Personal
Try to imagine you and your partner on a face-to-face date and ask some questions about each other and get to know one another more. Questions like "What would constitute a 'perfect' day for you?" or "Where would you have your dream house built?" are examples of questions you'll want to ask your partner.
If you're fresh out of questions, you may want to invite your loved one to take a fun personality quiz and tell the result to each other and talk about them. Whether it's about improving your intimate time together or getting-to-know-you-better questions that go deep depends on you.
Send Each Other Food From A Local Restaurant
Food delivery apps are developed for a reason: it allows people to get their food delivered to them without going through the restaurant's delivery option. The creation of these apps allows you and your loved one to send food to each other despite the distance between you.
Thanks to these apps, you can always have a Valentine's meal date at home despite being in a long-distance relationship.
Hopefully, you'll remember to consider your and your loved one's time zones and the delivery apps available in your loved one's country if they're living outside the US.
Plan The Next Time You'll See Each Other
It goes without saying that distance makes the heart grow fonder - a saying not lost in couples engaged in a long-distance relationship. It's natural for both of you to miss each other and long for the day to see each other again to come soon.
As such, planning the next time you two will see each other again can be an exciting way to spend your Valentine's Day together. You and your loved one can look at places to spend time in and just enjoy each other's company or even catch a movie or two in the cinema like the couples in the past.
What's important is that you two are enjoying this planning together - if all goes well, you two will also enjoy being together again despite the limited time you two have.
