In a Long-Distance Relationship? Try Out These Fun Activities

Long-distance relationships don’t have to be painful.

Even if both of you are far away there are many ways to keep in touch. You can make use of the internet and available technology. It may be a bit difficult, but there’s always a way.

When thinking about how to keep in touch with your significant other, it helps to do things that you both enjoy. You might be thinking, “Sure, but how do I decide what sort of activities we should try?”

Let’s look at some examples and see if any of these hit the mark.

1. Try exercising together.

It’s good for your health. It’s also good for your relationship. Cardiovascular exercise or yoga is great for both genders and all ages. Research states that general exercise is correlated with extending your lifespan and releasing endorphins that contribute to happiness.

You can challenge yourselves and set goals. Competing with your significant other who can endure certain exercises can also be fun. Be sure to research what exercises are appropriate for both of you, set up a schedule to exercise online, arrange your cameras and microphones, and start working out.

2. Have a coffee date.

Does your place of work allow coffee breaks? If so, and it coincides with her free time, then set a schedule and take your coffee break together. Open up your phone and share what both of you have purchased. If you are spending your time in the same retail cafe chain, order the same thing and share your thoughts on it.

You can even explore cafes that you haven’t been to yet. Open your cell phone and tour the cafe. Train your camera lens on the menu. Have her suggest what you should order and share your experiences.

3. Try a live dress-up and fashion session.

This can work for both men and women. If the department store allows you to have your camera phones open, either one of you can try different outfits and the other can remark about them. It’s not only a fun and interesting way to spend time together but can also serve as providing opinions about how you look from another perspective.

If it’s too much to do in public at the store, you can buy clothes and try them on for your partner later. That way, you can have this activity in the privacy of your room and you can try different combinations of clothes more quickly.

4. Try walking around a public market or food stall lane.

Cookie-cutter-style malls can get boring. From an economic standpoint, they can be effective for business, but small public markets, entrepreneurial food stall markets, or festivals are more organic. There is always something novel in these locations even if they are set up again every week.

Buying a hotdog from a food stall is by itself more exciting than a well-established food chain. You never know if what you’ll be eating by a new market player will be tasty, fun, or out of expectations. The fun is found in the discovery.

If it is a public market, there might not just be food out there, there might be trinkets or accessories to be found. So walk around with your camera phone in hand and see what small-scale industries can offer. Maybe you can buy something for her that she likes and mail it later.

Love always finds a way.

Long-distance relationships don’t have to feel lonely. Be creative. Leverage the internet and schedule events with each other. Try new things that both of you would love to explore.

Live streaming with your significant other whether it’s exercise, sharing coffee and cafe experiences, dressing up for each other, or touring local markets, is fun. There are still many other fun and creative uses of the internet and experiences that you can share while being in a long-distance relationship.

So, get those creative juices working and go on a digital date today.
