If you’re in a long-distance relationship, you know sometimes the holidays are the worst times of the year. Especially when you and your LDR partner can’t be together for Valentine’s Day. Luckily, this year, Valentine’s weekend plays out in the best way possible— V-Day falls on the Friday of a long weekend, with Monday being President’s Day. If this long weekend doesn’t help you and your partner reunite, don’t be discouraged! Here’s our list of adorable dates to celebrate your long distance Valentine’s Day.
Cook a New Recipe Together
It’s no secret that food brings people together. You might be missing out on your in-person dinner dates while you’re long-distance, but that doesn’t mean you can’t share a meal together. Find a new recipe to try out together, or teach your partner a recipe while you cook together on FaceTime. In the end, you will both have a delicious meal that you can eat together on the call for a romantic dinner date! Now this option is time zone permitting; some meals work better at certain hours than others, so make sure you plan accordingly.

Maybe you’re missing the quality time of playing games with your partner. Even if you’re not a fan of traditional video games, there are so many options of virtual games to play together. For more basic video gamers, Minecraft is an amazing way to be creative and build a world with your partner. For those of you who miss playing board games together, Chess.com will allow you and your love to play chess online! There’s also virtual escape rooms and other fun two-player games online for you to try. The sky’s the limit!

Missing watching movies and commentating to your loved one? Download the Teleparty extension on your computers and watch movies together from a distance. Teleparty connects to Netflix, Disney+, and other streaming platforms which gives a plethora of options. The best part is that you can type messages to each other on the platform to chat during the movie!
Send Care Packages
If you like to exchange gifts with your partner for Valentine’s Day, you don’t have to forgo that just because you’re not in the same place. Before V-Day, send each other care packages, with cute stuffed animals, snacks, and anything else you can think of! Then, on Valentine’s Day, you can open the gifts in front of each other on FaceTime.
Even though you can’t physically be with your partner on Valentine’s Day, you can still have a love-filled holiday. Spending time together in any way helps your relationship grow, so make sure to celebrate your mutual adoration!
