15 Virtual Dating Ideas That Actually Spark a Lot of Intimacy and Fun

For single individuals, COVID-19 has not been great. Now, if you want a second date with someone without ever whiffing their pheromones, you have to decide. Even worse, most of us probably date virtually from precisely the same chair we use for work meetings. But while we're the first one to admit that a plot point from a dystopian sci-fi novel sounds like the word "virtual dating," there are ways to make the experience more personal and pleasant. First, a note: the suggestions below will not guarantee that there will be no unpleasant or strange silences. It is more important than ever not to let lulls in conversation be a barometer of how the date goes, even though they may feel practically like an eternity. We sincerely hope that one of these things is enjoyable enough to compensate for the absence of an end-of-data kiss! [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="596"] [/media-credit] Brunch it up Just because you can't wake up (* tear *) together doesn't mean you can't both enjoy drinking mimosas. We believe that cooking is one of the best video activities because you can do it while being relatively stationary and because you can do some dishes if things get uncomfortable and pretend not to care. So, make a plan on what you're going to prepare (it's fun to try the same meal for both of you), take a trip to the grocery store (don't forget to pick up a bottle of bubbles!), and start cooking, eating and sipping together virtually in the morning. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="800"] [/media-credit] Don't play games, play a game! Nothing, like a good old-fashioned game night, takes the edge off dating. Games are useful because they build a common focus, so you don't have to rack your brain for conversation (this is what dates for everyone else are like, right??). [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="855"] [/media-credit] Read out loud to each other In listening to the sound of somebody's voice, especially if that person is reading to you, there is something super sweet and romantic. It is a perfect virtual date to read together because it will encourage insightful conversation for many potential dates to come. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="500"] [/media-credit] Draw together In order to appreciate the relaxing, meditative quality of coloring in an adult coloring book, you don't have to be incredibly creative. While you draw or paint and show off your results at the end, you and your boo can chat. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="608"] [/media-credit] Cruise through a museum Digital museum tours are right up there with learning how to make sourdough on the list of good stuff to come out of COVID-19. Because now, without a crowd of people blocking your view, you don't need to physically travel anywhere to enjoy some of the most important collections in the world! [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="800"] [/media-credit] Learn a TikTok dance There are two groups of individuals in this country: those who think the best idea in the world is to learn a TikTok dance, and those who think it's the worst. The power of TikTok to put people from all over the world together is making it the best pastime we never thought we wanted right now. And when you learn one of these creative, catchy dances, you and your date can get in on the action and get a little silly. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="750"] [/media-credit] Get sweaty (or stretchy) together Several yoga studios and fitness apps have come online in recent months, and sharing the experience with someone certainly makes it more enjoyable. It may not be quite the same as doing Downward-Facing Dog in person, but if you're so inclined, the power of technology will still encourage you to hit the showers together afterward. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="750"] [/media-credit] Jam to some live music Fortunately, during self-isolation, we do not have to forgo the classic date option of live music. You should certainly always put on your favorite concert outfit and dance your heart out while you won't wake up with a sticker on your wrist or have a drink spilled on you by a stranger. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="667"] [/media-credit] Netflix and chill Yes, we're going to mean sex. People, y' all, are horny! We don't see why you can't make the reason for a virtual hangout a shared masturbation sesh. Try looking at pairs of app-controlled sex toys, ideal for long distances. (Tip: We love We-Vibe Sync.) Absence makes the lust grow stronger after all, doesn't it? And if you want to pretend it's real life and you're only going to watch a movie for 10 minutes, use Netflix Party to stream a film together. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="749"] [/media-credit] Take a MasterClass With MasterClass, via online teaching seminars, more than 80 of the world's great minds (think Anna Wintour, Bobbi Brown, Malcolm Gladwell, Neil deGrasse Tyson) let you in on the secrets behind their performance. This is an excellent way to discover what the other person is interested in. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="685"] [/media-credit] Curate a galle ry of pictures Make this an opportunity to learn about each other's lives if you're new to dating. Show each other images of the places you lived in, the pets you cherished, the trips you took. You've already stalked each other's social media already, so look for pictures hidden in the back of your iCloud storage. Better still, if you've got actual albums of photographs, bust them out. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="750"] [/media-credit] Learn something new Find something none of you has ever done before, and sign up to do a virtual class together. It could be anything: painting or learning a language to make cocktails. The opportunities are endless, and long after self-isolation is over, it'll give you something to practice together. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="500"] [/media-credit] Give a tour of your life with Google Maps The high level of detail of Google Maps enables you to get into the streets of most destinations worldwide virtually. That means you can show your date around the campus of your college, take them through your favorite hiking trail, or even show them the home in which you grew up. Who knows, you can discover that you've been to the same places! [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="800"] [/media-credit] Go wine tasting That trip to wine country is undoubtedly postponed (for now), but you can still drink and savor some great wines "together." There is a list of virtual wine tasting experiences on the Sonoma County Vintners' website that you and your date can sign up for together. If you're still learning the difference between red and white or are wearing a Master Somm pin, you can choose from several price points. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="792"] [/media-credit] Find some laughs It is a dating rite of passage to visit a comedy club. But even if these days we can't (and shouldn't) cram together in a dimly lit club, we can still make you laugh. Many of New York's top comedians are putting on virtual stand-up shows. To see which of your favorite local comedians are streaming their sets, you can also search in your region. [media-credit name="All the rights belong to the original creator of the content" align="alignnone" width="750"] [/media-credit] Treat it like a "real" date (because that's what it is) Just like dating in 2019 B.C. (Before Corona), the secret to having a good time is your attitude. Just because you're alone in your room doesn't make it a real date any less. In something that makes you feel confident, dress up. Have your hair cleaned. If that's your thing, put on a little makeup. To make yourself feel like, yeah, you do what you need to do.
