That said, I would also just make sure you use those zooms to talk to one another, and be comfortable without something to “do.” Sometimes, you can get distracted by trying to over-plan, and lose touch of what really matters in the first place: being together. 

Have the activities be smaller, like ordering the same genre of food during your call. Makes you feel like you’re together, but doesn’t distract you from convo. 

First of all, he sounds hot. Good for you 👏🏻 

Second of all I guess a silver lining of Covid is that a lot of virtual activities are now a thing. Check out some virtual tours of museums. I did that a few times over quarantine with people around the country and enjoyed it!

Ooh, that’s hard. I did long-distance once for five years — the highs are highs, but the lows are lows.

-wine and cheese tasting — you can buy some widely available wines and cheeses and taste them together

-crossword puzzle (two people can log into NYT, FYI!)

-movie night — you can share your screen so you can still see each other and talk 

-jackbox tv — this is hard to do with two people, but you can double date and play games! They’re super fun! 

A cute idea I just thought of would be FaceTiming as you try to follow a Bob Ross tutorial together. Cute and wholesome!

So I’ve been dating my boyfriend for about 8 months now (give or take the few months of “talking”) and he quite literally lives across the country- not to brag but he works as a ranch manager in Wyoming.  Yellowstone who?

Sad part is we just said goodbye and it’ll  be about another month until we see eachother again. Does anyone have any advice or date ideas for us? I want to try devoting one night of the week to doing a zoom date and would love any and all suggestions!

long distance advice !
