Have a virtual dinner date.

  1. You can have a nice meal with your girlfriend despite the distance. With food delivery services, the possibilities are truly endless! Even if you live a hundred miles apart, you can still enjoy the same meal together over video chat.[3] Simply pick a restaurant you both have near you that delivers and place your orders. When the food arrives, set up the camera on the other side of the table, then call her and pretend you’re sitting across the table from her.[4]
    • Mix things up a bit and order her food for her. Just like if you were at a restaurant in person, you can order her food and have it sent to her house. The fun part is she’ll have no idea what you ordered until it gets there!
    • Spice things up a bit and dress extra fancy for your virtual dinner date. You can even go as far as having a themed costume dinner.

Video chat and go for a walk.

  1. You can get your endorphins pumping, catch up, and enjoy the scenery together. Hand holding may not be possible, but you can still take your girlfriend on a lovely walk around the block. Show her your favorite spots around the neighborhood or bring her to your favorite shop. Make her feel like she isn’t that far away.[5]
    • This is also a great way to keep a conversation going. Narrate what’s around you, and give her the full tour of your town.
    • Take turns taking each other on walks and showing each other new sights.
    • You could even map out a distance to walk for each other on Google maps, making it seem like you’re walking together.

Plan a scavenger hunt.

  1. You don't have to just sit and talk to have fun virtually. Arrange a scavenger hunt that will keep you and your girlfriend entertained. Think of clues and lead her on a romantic adventure around her town with you on video call the entire time. The prize at the end could be a special surprise you’ve planned or a paid-for dinner at her favorite restaurant—get creative and have fun![7]
    • The riddles and puzzles of your hunt can be as simple as “Where do you go before work every morning?” Sprinkle her everyday routine into the game, giving her clues she can find without you physically there to place them. Think of landmarks and locations she goes to often.
    • Drag her family and friends into it for even more fun! If you’re close with her loved ones, ask them for help. They might be able to plant physical clues you can’t.

Play a game of 20 Questions.

  1. Getting a little creative with a nostalgic game can have you both laughing. A good game of 20 Questions is a fun way to pass the time and possibly learn a bit more about each other. You can play the classic game of picking a random person, place, or thing and trying to guess what it is in 20 questions, or you can play a version where you ask your girlfriend 20 random questions about herself.[8] Here are some questions you can ask if you play the get to know you version:
    • “What was the last movie that made you cry?”
    • “What’s one food you couldn’t live without?”
    • “Would you rather be a cat or a dog?”

Stargaze at the same time.

Enter a virtual escape room.

  1. You can get your heart-pumping with a virtual version of an escape room. These virtual versions of the escape rooms are a great way for you to have fun and feel closer to your girlfriend. Work together and bond while being miles apart by completing digital puzzles, answering riddles, and going on virtual scavenger hunts in your online browser. All you have to do is sign-up, join the video call, and follow the hosts instructions.[14]
    • To find a virtual escape room, do a quick Google search using “virtual escape room.” There are hundreds of paid and free options to choose from.

Cook a meal with each other.

  1. Getting messy in the kitchen is something you can do despite the distance. Pick a recipe together, gather the ingredients, and get cooking—even if you’re miles apart![15] Simply set up your laptop or phone in your kitchen so that you can see her cooking and she can see you. Go through the recipe step-by-step, laughing with each other when you make mistakes.[16]
    • The great thing about making a virtually distanced meal together is that afterwards you can sit down together with your meals and have a lovely dinner date.
