Trying to keep the romance alive while being separated from your love doesn’t have to be a stressful ordeal! There are many virtual options for a great date night.
You’re not alone as many couples around the world are figuring out how to navigate the world of love, while being stuck at home. To make things a little easier, here are some virtual date night ideas to try out:
– Take a virtual tour
Since self-isolation and legally enforced quarantines are global, many facilities have decided to help ease cabin fever by making virtual tours available. Why not take advantage of this while you still can? You can see things from all around the world, with your partner (virtually) by your side, without leaving the comfort and safety of your room!
Here are some to check out:
- L.A.’s Getty Museum
- The Louvre
- The Smithsonian’s Natural History
- The National Women’s History Museum’s NASA exhibit

– Distanced Dinner Date
Just because you’re in separate locations, doesn’t mean a dinner date is off the table. You can each get dressed up, grab some food, light some candles and eat together on a Skype call. Play some music in the background for that extra bit of mood-setting.
– Online games
The internet is filled multiplayer games for you and your partner to try out. Explore a new universe together, by playing online together. Some couples have even taken to gaming weddings.
– Watch a movie in sync
Use the chrome extension Netflix Party, to watch a movie together. The extension allows you to connect your Netflix accounts so that your movie plays at exactly the same time. There’s also a chat bar for running commentary between the two of you during the movie.
– Plan your next in person date
If you haven’t already, you can spend some time together deciding on what you’ll do as soon as the lockdown is over. Plan a big, special date to celebrate being by each others sides again.

Love conquers all, even a world wide pandemic, self-isolation, and quarantines. “The Real” presenter Jeannie Mai and rapper Jeezy (Jay Jenkins) are proving it with their engagement in…
The national lockdown has truly forced us all to readjust to a new way of life for the time being. All plans that were made previously are on hold or cancelled and other plans are having to be rethought. While all of this happens, time still ticks on.
If your anniversary is one of the events coming up during quarantine, you should probably think of a way to celebrate it indoors! There’s no need to worry if you made plans that require leaving home, an at-home anniversary can easily be planned too.
Here are some ideas:
Recreate a special meal together
Perhaps you had a fancy meal on your first date, or you’re still dreaming of the delicious meal served at your wedding reception. You could take to the kitchen and try to recreate these meals together. We all know cooking together can be tremendously romantic… and the eating part is great too. After you cook the meal, indulge in the delicious food by candle light.
Wedding reminiscing
Pull out your wedding album and video and spend some time remembering the special day. It’ll bring back many amazing memories and will show you how far you’ve come. Tell each other stories about your individual experiences of the wedding day, about how you were feeling, who you interacted with, and anything else you can recall. You’re sure to have some funny and interesting tales to tell.
Symbolic vow renewal
Plan to have a vow renewal ceremony for just the two of you. Write new vows, decorate the room, and go all out. It’ll be quite intimate and special, definitely something you’ll never forget.
Learn to dance
Search YouTube for some couples dance tutorials and try to learn a new dance together. Salsa is a great option!
How I met your mother
If you have kids and you want them to be involved too then this one’s for you. Draw up a quiz about your relationship with questions like “how did mom and dad meet?” or “how old were we when we got married?” and have your kids participate in a competitive quiz night. It’s a great way to celebrate your anniversary and it’ll be an evening filled with laughs too.

In earlier centuries, these disc-shaped beads were made from shiny metals. Today, sequins are most often made from plastic. They look just as glamorous as ever, though! We…
Sometimes, you just have to be in the right place at the right time. This couple learned this fact in an interesting way when they met…at the woman’s wedding to her first husband.
Natalie Perry, 37, met waiter Fred Kasa, 36, during her wedding reception in Crete. Kasa was one of the waiters at the restaurant, and there are are even pictures of them dancing the traditional Zorba dance side by side!
Flash forward five years, Perry returned to the same restaurant after splitting from her husband. It was here that she and Kasa connected again.
“That night the Greek dancer was watching me – I could feel his eyes,” she told Metro UK. “I went to the toilet to wash my hands and he came up to me and we started chatting. He asked me out for a coffee the next day. We just had this connection and we clicked right away. I recognised him immediately from before, I knew it was him.”
They soon began a long-distance relationship. In 2017, Kasa moved to the UK so they could be together and they became engaged within 6 months.
The pair tied the knot in February, and plan on honeymooning in Crete when travel is allowed again.
“I cant believe still that my husband danced with me at both my weddings!” Natalie told Metro UK. “It’s funny how life can turn out – you just don’t know what’ll pan out.”
“I knew she was the one I wanted to marry,” said Kasa. “The feeling was crazy. I had never been so in love with anyone. Every day I missed her more. Now she is my wife, I am just so happy and we are so happy together. To think I danced with her at her first wedding and then we had a dance at our own wedding is crazy!”
