Now the most romantic ones can afford real dates at a distance. Strong hugs are not a substitute, but still. There are some tips for long distance relationships to take into consideration.
Let’s have breakfast
There is an idea: a joint breakfast is great! Spend the morning together the way you are used to, but the scene will be Skype. Do not do this every day, especially if on weekdays you are used to sleeping until the last. But a leisurely tea party on the weekend is what you need.
Technique: you can set the table at home or go to a cafe where there is free Wi-Fi. If it is a network, choose the same thing and demand a discount! For a complete fusion of souls and toast with jam, order the same dishes, and the webcam will take over the effect of presence.
Subtleties: the time difference can make adjustments. If he’s taking a morning shower and it’s midnight for you, have lunch, brunch, dinner, whatever.
Taking pictures
There is an idea: not so long ago, a touching story of a couple spread around the Internet, which clearly proved that 7,000 kilometers are not an obstacle to real feelings. The lovers began to take joint photos! Why don’t you try it too?
Technique: Agree that everyone will be photographed in a certain way, and combine the resulting shots.
Subtleties: if both of you are far from the Photoshop guru, limit yourself to simple shots: you are sitting next to the sunset, running towards each other or standing back to back.
We walk
I have an idea: the function of panoramic street views on Google maps and their analogues is a great thing. With it, you will see how your house, cottage or dog house looks like from space, and you will imagine the place where your second half is now.
Technique: if you know the address of the hotel where your loved one is staying, you can “walk” around the neighborhood using Google Maps. And if he tells you where he most often happens, you can even imagine yourself next to him. Also pay attention to 3 harsh facts long-distance relationships.
Subtleties: unfortunately, street views are not always available. But the situation is changing, there are more and more pictures.
Reading
There is an idea: as practice shows, a rare adult will refuse to be read to him at night.
Technique: all you need is Skype and an interesting book.
Subtleties: if one of you is a graduate of the philological faculty, and the second is rather not, give up Proust or Joyce. The main requirements for online fairy tales are simplicity of presentation and an exciting plot.
We are doing sports
I have an idea: if both of you are used to running in the morning or cycling 20 kilometers, programs from the category of sports trackers will help you in separation. Most of them involve synchronization between multiple accounts and the “tell friends” function. Now you can mark the distance your loved one has covered, and he will make sure that you do not shirk your daily workouts.
Technique: perhaps the most popular tracker is the Endomondo program, which combines the functions of a pedometer, a sports planner and a social network.
Subtleties: you can also use a simplified version: go to training at about the same time and compete every day, which of you is faster, higher, stronger.
Let’s play
There is an idea: lovers of the last century could only afford chess by correspondence. Today, any social network or messaging program will help you. You can play “Cities”, shoot at each other’s ships, or even create your own clan and defeat enemies in an online RPG.
Technique: it’s good if you already have a common favorite game, except for “You don’t write to me, I’m offended.” Otherwise, you can try everything from tic-tac-toe to building strongholds.
Subtleties: joint games are exciting, taking up a lot of free time. If you have a responsible job or just another rush job, you should not get carried away with them.
Watching a movie
There is an idea: if you go to the cinema not only for kisses and popcorn and remember who received the Golden Lion in 1960, you can go to the next premiere almost together and after the session discuss all the director’s finds and losses.
Technique: agree on which movie you will go to. Try to start the sessions around the same time. The most pedantic can even take tickets for one row and seats next to each other.
Subtleties: you can do it even easier: contact using Skype and turn on some good movie at the same time on both computers. So you can comment on it right in the course of action, laugh together or be afraid of events on the screen. It is better not to choose melodramas – they lose a lot without live hugs.
