CRUSHES

Long distance relationships can be difficult, especially if your sweetie lives states away or in a completely different time zone. Doing the same old Skype dates can be boring and sometimes frustrating, but don’t worry! We have some amazing date ideas that should ease some of that stress and make you feel closer together.

Plan a sweet dinner date together
For your next virtual date, try cooking the same meal together or order-in the same food if you're both pressed for time. Cooking and eating together will make you guys feel like you're in the same room instead of miles away.

Craft together
Send each other homemade gifts, like a knit scarf or an embroidered shirt. It's a fun and relaxing activity that you can do over Skype or separately and send to one another.

Spice up your FaceTime dates with a movie and some sweet snacks!
Plan a few hours together on the weekend and watch the same movie at the same time with the same snacks, like pizza, pretzels, ice cream, whatever you both like the best! You guys will feel like you're in the same room after a few minutes.

Take a virtual vacation together while Skyping
Websites, like airpano, allow you to see the world without leaving your room. While you guys Skype, go to the same place and explore together. It's a fun and easy way to mix up you're typical video chat dates.

Watch the sunset together
This one might be a little tricky because it depends on how far away your sweetie is, but if you can, plan a date where you both watch the sunrise or sunset together. You'll realize that you're never too far away.
