Me (26F) and my boyfriend (28M) have been long distance for a while, and lately we’ve been trying to be more intentional about doing virtual dates.
We already play games together, and sometimes we do use Riamo for conversation ideas, but a lot of the time our calls still end up feeling pretty low-effort. We’ll talk, scroll, or do our own thing, which is fine, but it doesn’t always feel like we’re actually spending time together.
One thing that worked better than I expected was doing something simple at the same time, like both working on something creative while staying on the call. It felt more like sharing a moment than just filling silence, and the conversation flowed more naturally.
I’m trying to find more ideas like that, where it feels a little more intentional without being forced or awkward. Would love to hear what’s worked for other people doing long distance.
