Easy to forget: National Girlfriend Day is 1 August, so put it in the calendar now. This list is for couples who are apart, so every idea runs over video chat, a streaming service or an app. The ideas follow a News9 roundup of over 20 virtual dates, trimmed where they overlapped. Agree on the film, recipe or game first, and press play at the same time for a movie or a workout video. Gifts and travel aren't covered here.
Why these items are on the list
- Virtual coffee date. Brew your own and call in. Think café, minus the commute.
- Cook-off or online cooking class. Cook the same recipe on video, or set a mystery ingredient and compare results.
- Virtual wine tasting. Both order the same bottle, then swap tasting notes and stories on the call.
- Virtual movie night. Pick a film on one streaming service, hit play together, and trade reactions during or after.
- Virtual concert or event. Pick a concert, webinar or event online and sit through it together.
- Virtual karaoke. Pick songs on a karaoke app or YouTube and belt them out.
- Two-person book club. Read the same book, then talk it over on video. Browse an online bookstore for the next pick.
- Online game or trivia night. Games like trivia, Pictionary or multiplayer video games. Trivia can be about each other or random topics.
- Online escape room. Work through the puzzles and challenges as a team.
- Online jigsaw puzzle. Chat while you fit it together, piece by piece.
- Virtual museum or park tour. Take a virtual tour of a museum, park or historical site side by side.
- Stargaze together. Use an app to name constellations and trade thoughts on what you see.
- Online shopping spree. Browse the same stores, send each other picks and fill a virtual cart together.
- DIY craft session. Choose a project and show each other your progress and the finished piece.
- Online art class. Take a class in painting, drawing or digital art, then compare results. Gently.
- Virtual workout. Join a live class, or both press play on the same workout video.
- DIY spa day. Do facials, manicures or massages at home while the video call runs.
- Memory lane chat. Scroll through old photos and videos and reminisce about your favorite moments.
Keep the list open on your phone during the call and tick off what you've tried. Handy for the moment you both say 'I don't mind'.
When to use it
