But what to do when you share a long-distance relationship with your soul mate?

Our best ideas for activities that can be done by a couple in a long distance relationship
Surprise Gift Shipments and Unboxing
On paper, this isn’t really a long-distance couple’s activity together , but with a little trickery it can be. Do you like surprises? You’re going to love this game. The idea is simple, you just have to send a secret gift to your spouse’s home . The latter will do the same thing by having a small gift delivered to you.
Once the packages have been received, all you have to do is make a video call with your better half and unpack your packages together live. If you showed imagination at the time of purchase (the internet is your best ally for this) this unboxing could be a good moment of complicity with potentially a long and frank laugh!
Also a small detail, the purpose of remote couples package unboxings is not really to offer an expensive gift but rather several funny and cheap little things. The stronger the surprise and the more improbable the object , the funnier the moment!
The cooking challenge, who will be the worst cook?
Are you bad at cooking? Don’t panic , the greater the difference in level between the two soul mates, the funnier the result will be. The idea of the cooking challenge is quite simply to each cook the same dish remotely and then compare the final result with a photo or video. Even if cooking is not your hobby of choice, nor even a pastime that you like, maybe this will make you want to try more often!
Agree on a cooking recipe found on the internet that is completely unknown to both of you, and give each of you a time limit of one or two hours to cook. Once the allotted time has passed, you can call each other in live video, and compare the results of each. Trust us, the worse you are at cooking, the funnier the final video call will be!
Online couple games: supportive teammates or unscrupulous enemies?
Nowadays , there is no shortage of online games! To keep contact with your partner away from you, you can simply decide to play these games. In the evening, what could be more beautiful than spending time testing your skills in this area. You don’t need to be a gamer at heart to enjoy competing against your partner in small, easy-to-learn games… in cooperation or against each other!
For example… Can’t you build a house and live together yet? No worries, you can end up on an online video game and start new virtual projects together . Whether on smartphone, tablet or video console, you can play many diverse and varied games. Adventure, fantasy, war strategy, sport, sex games, combat, quiz… Thousands of games are available on the market. Whether it’s getting to know each other better, helping each other with love, or waging war with each other with passion , you’re sure to find a way to have fun online with your significant other.
Be careful though, if one or the other is a bad loser , these moments of complicity can sometimes turn into a nightmare… So choose the video game that suits your temperaments!
ask questions about each other
Even though it’s one of the most common long-distance couple activities, we had to mention it. To get to know your partner better, ask them questions about themselves.
You can, for example, draw up a list of about twenty questions that you will send to him via message… or you can ask verbally on the telephone. Both of you will ask each other the same number of questions and as soon as you have the answers, you comment on them. Don’t you want to know more about his life experiences? About his preferences and tastes? His reactions in various situations? Well, here is an activity that allows you to have the answer to all these questions even if you are in a long-distance relationship.
Shopping together, even from afar!
Do you two like to shop and you think you could only do it if you were together? Think again ! You can also do this while staying at a distance.
Thanks to the Internet, do your shopping online. How? ‘Or’ What ? By going to an e-commerce site and exploring various products together. Give your opinions on the products you like and those you don’t like. The magic of algorithms means that we often end up coming across articles that are more improbable than each other… with a good laugh!
You can thus challenge yourself to know who will find the most bizarre, the most surprising or, on the contrary, the most useful article first. This activity will also be a great help for gift ideas.
Catch a show or watch a movie together
To break the routine in your relationship and erase the distance, you can watch a movie simultaneously . Indeed, it is very fun and allows you to share your opinions a little bit. Many couples leading a long-distance relationship have understood this and therefore do not hesitate to watch the same film at the same time. Some text each other their comments, but nothing beats calling each other on the phone at the same time: you’ll find yourself laughing out loud at the same time as your significant other, and wincing or reacting to the same moments in the film. !
So, find a movie that both of you are interested in and watch it simultaneously. For this, you can for example synchronize Youtube or Netflix in a few clicks. You can also watch the same TV program at the same time. The advantage of this remote couple activity is that it probably does not require anything that you do not already have. You can even do the same for listening to music or the radio!
Spend a sensual night together, even from afar!
Do you know that there are adult toys specially dedicated to long-distance couples? Far from the idea that one might have, these sex toys with very beautiful finishes bring their share of technology… and pleasure! Controllable remotely even from the other side of the world thanks to an application, you can make your partner roar with pleasure from a simple smartphone… without missing a beat by calling each other in video.
The top of the top? A set of 2 interconnected toys synchronized to each other to really feel the movements of your half in real time, even from 8000 kilometers away! While waiting for the invention of teleportation, we are formal: it ‘s the best way to really make love from a distance. And since we’re fans (and that’s helped us keep 4 years apart…), we’re talking to you about our 10 favorite connected sex toys of the year 2020 , right there.
Singing together: are your neighbors ready for Karaoke?
For partners who like to sing, this activity in a distance relationship guarantees a pleasant moment of laughter and false notes. Nowadays, there are several applications and sites to play music or sing, regardless of the distance. But to tell the truth, a simple telephone is quite enough! Record yourself in karaoke mode singing or make a simple call and share it with your significant other to spend a pleasant evening with her.
Schedule your next reunion
If you plan to see each other very soon, start by planning this reunion. This will give you hope, and allow you to invest a little more in your relationship. Together, make your reservations online, and do research on the Internet to find out more about the region, its assets, the ideal season to go, the prices of plane flights… Also think about the different activities you can do there. Your long-distance relationship is not always long-distance, and the better your reunion is planned, the more you will enjoy it !
Puzzles, the brain activity we love or hate
Nothing beats a good riddle to have your mind tormented until you solve it! Send a riddle to your partner and give them time to solve it before the end of the day. The evening will be the time to take stock: has your partner found the solution? Or is there a pledge at the key…? You can do this original activity in turn, and see which of you two will be the best at this game!
Arrange a romantic date remotely
Even a long-distance relationship needs its moments of romance. From time to time, why not organize a romantic date via Skype or Whatsapp in video. If you’re wondering how this can be done, know that it’s like in any real couple after all, since you will be face to face … by interposed screen only.
Date your significant other and put on a sexy outfit. Even if this activity does not seem natural at first glance, it is carried out by more than one couple from a distance. In a good atmosphere, have dinner together or watch a romantic movie. All that’s missing is physical contact!
Keep a diary together
Create an online or physical diary in which you will write down everything you have done during the day each evening. Don’t forget to supply it with photos, anecdotes, drawings, and small souvenirs (train tickets, cinema tickets, etc.). The key is to do it regularly , even when your day isn’t that interesting. A few months or even a few years later, you will be happy and surprised to find these little journal entries. The more time has passed, the more precious they will be to you, you will see!
Have a cake/pizza already paid for delivered to your partner
If time permits and if you know how to go about it, make one or more homemade cupcakes that you will send to your sweetheart by post. Of course, in many cases, your bakery couldn’t handle going that many miles. If there’s an ocean between you, consider having a treat delivered from a pastry shop near him/her, or a pizza instead! And yes, this second option is perhaps less romantic, but it has a big advantage: we often have a pizzeria that delivers near your home… The little extra tip: slip a little love note into the package: it / she will only be more delighted
Take photos and share them, or challenge yourself
Take pictures of yourself, of your city, or highlight small everyday details that you found amusing : that electrical outlet that looked so much like the face of an angry gentleman, that building that you are sure to have already seen in a film, this woman in the street who from behind looked so much like your other half that you shivered…
You can also set yourself small photo challenges, for example “Something that made you happy today” or “a red mailbox”. This will give you something to be attentive to everything around you in your days! Of course, your partner will surely always be happy to receive a selfie from you. After all, you don’t see each other often…
Tell yourself made-up stories before you sleep
Whether you like to invent stories or rather listen to them, this activity is made for your couple from a distance! Even if it may seem childish and will not be to everyone’s taste, inventing stories before going to sleep is a real moment of tenderness and sharing. In short, love.
So why not try ? If you wish, you can why not guide your partner, by giving him keywords that will have to be inserted in his story for example. It’s up to him then to adapt and be inventive enough to embroider from there!
Fall asleep together in video
Often, in the activities of couples in a distance relationship, we try to find the same things that we could do in everyday life. Have you ever tried to fall asleep together on video, or even on the phone? It will allow you to get closer, even if it may seem weird at first, and you will quickly become addicted to it! There is indeed nothing better than seeing your partner fall asleep by your side. This can be done on the screen of a laptop placed on your bedside table for example. An activity that will help you especially if you feel alone without your partner.
Remote activities, a way to break the couple’s routine
Even if nothing will ever replace physical moments, many solutions exist and can allow you to spend good moments of complicity with your other half, even from a distance. Even if the internet offers you many original and cool ideas, don’t forget that your imagination will always be stronger! So use it, it ‘s one of the keys to a successful long-distance relationship .
