Long-Distance Date Night Ideas: 18 Ways to Feel Close
You can’t share a couch from 3,000 miles away, but you can still share a night. Long-distance dates take a little more planning and a lot less than you’d think. Here are ideas that actually feel like dates, not video calls.
Do-it-together, apart
- Press play at the same second and watch a film “together.”
- Cook the same recipe over video — same mess, same meal.
- Order each other dinner from afar as a surprise.
- Play an online game that makes you laugh, not rage.
Slow and close
- Read the same book a chapter ahead and talk about it.
- Take a virtual museum or city tour side by side.
- Fall asleep on call. Underrated.
Keep the spark
- Run through our 100 questions a few at a time.
- Plan the next visit in detail — the anticipation is part of it.
