The feeling of being so close yet so far away from a partner can be soul-crushing. Luckily, most people have access to technology that helps. While a date night over video is not exactly the same as a date night in person, it can still be sweet, particularly if it's prepared with a fun idea. Here are a few romantic things to do on virtual date night to keep the romance alive for a long-distance relationship!

Cook a Meal Together

Cook up some romance by creating a delicious meal together! Look through the pantry to find common ingredients and select a recipe to make “together.” It can be as simple as spaghetti with marinara sauce or a chocolate cake. Set a time to video chat with one another and get cooking. Afterwards, sit down and enjoy the meal over candlelight while catching up with one another.

Enjoy a Movie Night

Movie night is one of romantic things to do for a long-distance relationship. Choose a movie to watch and find it online through popular streaming channels. Have a call and start the movie at the same time or use apps like Netflix Party or Kast to watch and chat together while catching up on what's happening in each other’s life–and don’t forget to grab some snacks! Nothing is quite as exciting as being bundled up inside with some sweet treats to enjoy during movie night, like Danisa Butter Cookies. Made with an authentic Danish Recipe, Danisa Butter Cookies is a delicious treat and a perfect companion for every moment. Danisa Butter Cookies has an irresistable buttery aroma, baked into a perfect golden color and with taste that melts in the mouth.

Try Something New Together

Keep the boredom from creeping into the virtual date by switching things up regularly. Challenge each other to a dance-off over TikTok, join an online painting class together, or opt for a skill swap by learning a new skill from one another. This not only creates a new way of learning, it can also be a new topic to talk about!

Take a Virtual Trip
Pack some snacks in a picnic basket and settle down in the living room for a virtual tour of favourite holiday spots via Google Maps. Find a wide array of online tours of iconic locations to spend time and attention, from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam to the Louvre in Paris. While traveling together in person will always be an irreplaceable experience, virtual reality also offers tons of ways to visit faraway places together.

It might be intimidating to initiate a virtual date for the first time, but getting creative with these romantic things to do on a virtual date night could spark things up in the relationship and surely make a night to remember!
