Ready to spice things up? Let's get started!

Setting the Tone

Do you want to be a Debbie Downer and whine about how much it sucks to be apart from your boo, or do you want to be the life of the party and find ways to have fun together, no matter the distance? If you chose the latter (and I hope you did), here are some playful ways to set the tone for a fun and positive long-distance relationship:

• Have virtual dance parties: Are you ready to get your groove on? Put on your favorite tunes, grab your phone or laptop, and get ready to dance the night away with your partner. Who cares if you're in different time zones? You can still party together like it's 1999 (Which was a great time frame, by the way).

• Send silly memes or inside jokes: Do you want to make your partner smile and remind them that you're thinking of them? Share a hilarious meme or a goofy photo of yourself and watch their face light up joyfully.

Fun Long Distance Date Ideas

Are you tired of the exact old virtual dates that feel more like a chore than a romantic evening? It's time to shake things up and try something new. Here are some fun long-distance date ideas:

• Have a virtual dinner date: Are you ready to put your cooking skills to the test? Cook the same recipe together and have a virtual dinner date over video chat. It's like a fancy restaurant, but without the expensive bill.

• Play long-distance games: Are you ready to show off your gaming skills and crush your partner in a virtual battle? You can play many online multiplayer games together, from classic board games like Monopoly and Scrabble to virtual escape rooms and murder mysteries.

Meaningful Ways to Show You Care

Do you want to show your partner that you're thinking of and caring about them but need to figure out how? Here are some thoughtful gestures that will make your partner feel loved and appreciated:

• Send surprise care packages: Do you want to surprise your partner with a thoughtful gift that shows you care? Send them a care package filled with their favorite things. It could be anything from a box of their favorite snacks to a cozy blanket or a heartfelt letter.

• Create a virtual scrapbook together: Are you ready to reminisce about all the good times you've had together? (Even the naughty ones) Use a site like Canva or Shutterfly to create a virtual scrapbook of your relationship. Fill it with photos, mementos, and memories, and work on it together over video chat.

Supporting Your Partner from Afar

Do you want to be there for your partner when they need you the most, even if you're miles apart? Here are some tips for supporting your partner from afar during tough times:

• Send care packages: Is your partner going through a tough time and could use some cheering up? Send them a care package with things that will comfort them or remind them of happier times. (Let your dirty imagination run a little bit on this one, wink wink)

• Arrange virtual support from friends and family: Is your partner isolated and alone? Arrange a virtual game night or movie night with friends and family to help them feel connected and supported.
