Feeling Distant From your partner?

Being apart from your SO got you down? Don’t give up on hanging out and don’t lose touch with each other. There are still fun and interactive things you can do together from a safe distance. Make the effort and have a virtual date.
 
Virtual date ideas

1. Play a game of Truth or Dare- as naughty or nice as your comfort level. You never know what you might find out about each other and you will definitely share a few laughs.
2. Participate in a Dance Off- watch the latest viral dance- record yourselves practicing and performing-share the videos on Tik Tok and see who gets the most likes
3. You can still enjoy a meal. Order the same take-out to be delivered at the same time and eat together. Add some candles, some music, and a little atmosphere and it’s almost like you are there.
4. Stream together- watch the same show or movie and laugh/cry/complain together. The best thing is you don’t have to share your snacks.
5. Go exploring. Many museums, zoos and aquariums are offering virtual tours. You can visit places without having to spend a dime.
6. Get competitive. You can tell a lot about a person by how well they win and lose a game. Find an online game you both like and battle it out.
7. Learn a language and practice on each other. Take turns saying a phrase and see if the other can figure out what is being said.
8. Go old school- When is the last time you played charades or Pictionary? They are classics for a reason.
9. Put together a PowerPoint on something you are passionate about, or make it funny. Presentation that will make your partner laugh.
10. Do you both enjoy building sets like Legos? Order each other a set and have a building competition- who is fastest? Or use your old sets and be creative – who can build the fastest and sturdiest 2-foot structure?
11. Try a Pinterest craft or food and see who does is best.
12. Do you love theme parks? Many have virtual visits and ride-throughs online. Ride a few together, use a hair dryer or a fan to mimic the wind blowing.

Get creative. Think about all the things you used to do and turn it into a virtual thing. If we only focus on what we can't do, we will miss out on all the things we can.
