If you’re dating during the pandemic and don’t want to meet in person just yet, what are some virtual date ideas you can try to get to know each other?

Perhaps you live far apart or don’t want to be exposed to other people at this time. Or maybe you have met and already like each other, but you want to mix it up by having some virtual dates during the week and only get together on weekends.

Nobody knows when the pandemic will end, but your dating life can still continue.

Here’s a list of six virtual date ideas:

1. Have video dates.

I always recommend having a video date before meeting in person, and now it’s especially important. You don’t want to waste your time meeting someone you’re not compatible with, so jump onto a Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime chat to get to know each other that way. It’s almost like sitting across from each other at a coffee shop, but you don’t have to put on pants!

2. Cook together.

You can decide on a meal you both enjoy and buy the same ingredients. Set up your computer or phone so you can watch each other and chat while you’re making the same delicious meal. When the food is ready, you can sit down with a glass of wine and eat together while having a flirty discussion.

3. Play games.

Friendly competition can boost testosterone levels, so turn on your computer or phone and find a virtual version of your favorite game. Houseparty is a fun app that has a variety of games on it for two players, and CardzMania has a big selection of card games. You can set up whiteboards and play Pictionary while on Zoom or create your own questions for Scattergories. There’s also virtual chess and communal puzzles. If you love Scrabble, you can get the Words With Friends app on your phone and play your move when you have time.

4. Watch movies.

Find a movie you both want to watch and press play at the same time. Although you won’t be able to cuddle together, you can pause the movie whenever you want to get more snacks and discuss interesting plot points. You don’t have to worry about getting dirty looks from others at a movie theater. You can sprawl out on your couch and make all the noise you want. When it’s over, you can have a video date and discuss your thoughts about the movie.

5. Ask questions.

There are tons of websites with lists of questions to ask a date. These first date questions are backed by science! And the New York Times posted this article in 2015 which specifies 36 questions that lead to love. If you want more flirtatious questions, the internet provides options for that, too. Or you can get your creative juices flowing and come up with your own unique questions to ask your date.

6. Work out together.

Look on YouTube and find an exercise routine you’ll both enjoy. Or create your own list of bodyweight exercises and do them together while listening to upbeat music. You can plan a date that lasts for hours, starting with a workout, and then cooking together, and finally eating while watching a romantic movie.
