Relationships are tough, especially when you add long distance into the mix. You and your partner may find yourselves struggling to maintain a sense of excitement and intimacy in your relationship when you’re constantly communicating over technology. If you want to plan a romantic Valentine’s Day date with your long-distance partner, here are a few ideas that will make your partner feel a little bit closer.
1. Order them takeaway, then Skype over dinner.
Start the date off by ordering your partner a surprise takeaway. They will be shocked when it arrives at their door. Once you’ve been notified of its delivery, give them a video call. Set up the computer on the table and you can both enjoy a meal together, almost as if you were in the same room.
2. Send them a bottle of wine, and buy the same one for yourself.
If you can send them a bottle of their favorite wine, you can both enjoy a glass over dinner. Knowing you’re drinking the same wine will make you both feel a little bit closer to each other. Your partner will love the thought you put into this special Skype meal.
3. Write a romantic, naughty set of instructions.
Physical intimacy is an integral part of a relationship. Even though you’re miles apart, there’s no reason why you can’t give a naughty gift that your partner will enjoy. Use these step-by-step jerk off instructions as inspiration. Write out a set of instructions or a short story that will get your partner in the mood. Try and make it personal. If you’re not sure what to write, imagine what you wish you could do as a couple if they were in the room with you.
4. Movie night
Cue up your favorite movie and watch it together over Skype. Doing something as simple as watching a good film together is one of the comforting things you tend to miss out on in a long-distance relationship. Spend some quality time just relaxing with your partner by watching a movie. Many couples already use simultaneous Skype and Netflix to feel connected and to distract from the pangs of separation.
5. Fall asleep together over Skype.
After your date, keep Skype on and drift off to sleep. While you won’t be able to cuddle, having your partner close by as you both fall asleep will feel as close to the real thing as possible. After this carefully planned Skype date, you and your partner are sure to feel connected and satisfied.
Using Skype can be a wonderful way to connect with your long-distance partner. However, sitting and staring at a screen every day trying to churn out conversation can feel futile and depressing. We hope these tips have given you some alternative ways to use Skype this Valentine’s Day. In real life, relationships are about much more than just conversation. Try to replicate the other parts of relationships online whenever you can.
