Long Distance Date Ideas

Long distance definitely has its ups and downs, but there are ways to make it fun and exciting again.  With two completely different and busy schedules, it is sometimes challenging to make time for each other, but with these long-distance date ideas, keep the sparks alive. 

Movie Date 

A movie date is such a classic date idea, and it can still be done even with the distance. Just watching a movie on FaceTime together is one of the best and easiest ways to fill the distance. You get to talk about it and still watch a new movie you both want to see. There are so many sites online that make this happen. A few I have personally used are Teleparty, Scener, and Watch2Gether. Disney+ even offers this called Groupwatch. This is such a simple and Convenient date night.

Dinner Date 

This can be such a fun and surprising date night idea. Ordering each other food, and then you get the surprise of seeing what was ordered for you. Grubhub even offers Grubhub+ student, which is completely free for college students. You don’t even need to order food; you could always find a new recipe online and make it together on FaceTime. Then eating together on the phone is such a great way to spend your night. 

Game night 

There are so many different platforms you can play games together on, and who better to do it with than your partner? There are so many ways to play together online. Even Roblox is an option, which could be even better because there are games available that make you work together. It is such a fun activity to do together while also getting to see the competitive side of each other. 

Go on Walks Together 

This is hands down my favorite thing to do. Just a simple walk together while on FaceTime is so fun. You get to just yap while showing each other the cool things you see while on the walk. You could both get food somewhere and sit and eat. This gives you two dates in one. It also gives you a chance to explore a new place you have always wanted to, while not being fully alone. 

Read a Book Together 

If you both are readers, it is so fun to have your own little book club. You both can be transported to a made-up world and enjoy it together. You could even expand your knowledge on a topic your partner is interested in, but you don’t know much about. Reading the same book and talking about it is such a fun way to grow together. 

These fun dates can make you feel the distance a little less. Even though it is still not the same, it is the best way to fill the gaps when you aren’t together. Long distance can be so lonely sometimes, but hopefully these dates make the distance seem not so bad.
