Let’s go over some of the cool and unique ideas for virtual dates.

Here Are The Best Virtual Date Ideas

Virtual Museum Tours

This is a phenomenal way to save money and still get to visit the museums. This gives you a chance to discuss your varying tastes in art and all things history. You can find a variety of museum tours all across the internet. Dig in and see what you can dig up.

Online Concerts

Who does not like music? Even if you both have different tastes in music, this is something you can share together. Again, YouTube and many other internet sites will allow you to see recorded concerts that you can enjoy together.

Zoom or Facetime Dinner

Yes, this may seem difficult at first. This also allows you to see how the other handles kitchen duties. You can prop your phones up and watch each other cook a nice dinner. You could both decide to have the same thing for dinner and make it separately. See how they come out the same or much different. Then sit down with a beer or a glass of wine and enjoy the dinner you created together.

Admire Artwork

Is there a location or place that you both love and enjoy? Grab a canvas with oil paints or acrylic, or paper and watercolors and paint a picture for the other person. Even if it is the same location, seeing it through another person’s eyes can make all the difference in the world. It can open a whole new view to the world. This is also a way of sharing a gift with each other. When possible you can hand yours to him and his art comes to you. Something to look at and think of the other person each day.

Virtual Game Night

Rather than sit down with a board game, which by the way is also a great idea, go for the unique. Find a virtual escape room online so that you can work together and escape. This is a challenge for you both, it takes teamwork and logic. Who knows, when this pandemic is over and done, this may be something the two of you thoroughly enjoy doing. Any games are possible, even games that you enjoyed as a kid. Most can be done with paper and pencil, but yes, it helps if you both have the game board. Online games are a great choice also. Play together or challenge each other.

Movie Night

This is an idea for just the two of you or a group of friends all together watching the same movie. Have a movie night. It could be a different genre each week, or something for all to enjoy. Such as one from each genre. Share the thrills, the chills, the oohs and awws. The laughs and the mind bending sci-fi.

Twenty Questions

Some of us may have hated this game as a kid, but it could also create a smile on one’s face. You both are able to create a list of 20 questions and you take turns answering each others questions.

Create Your Own Top Ten Virtual Date

This involves each person making a list of the top ten favorites in different categories. Movies, books, snacks or foods, clothes vacation locations or any number of ideas. Take turns starting at the least favorite of the ten and work towards number one. Make note of what you match on or even come close to matching on. These could be ideas for dates in the future.

Stray For A Little Show And Tell

Keep it clean folks! All those items that you have bought because they are important to you, share and explain why each object holds importance to you. This gives you a chance to get to know each other a little more.

Tell Stories

Everyone has at least one favorite childhood experience. It may be a happy one, a family vacation, or even a sad moment, share with each other and learn more about the other person.

Pretend Vacation

Is there one place that you both want to visit at some point? Discuss it and ways to plan it out so that when the pandemic is over, you can follow through on those plans and have the vacation of a lifetime with each other.

Learn A New Language Together

Carry the hypothetical vacation one step further and learn the native language for the location. You can take virtual lessons together and help each other learn. This is not only fun but also educational.

Watch Sports

There are sports played year-round all over the globe, even during lockdown. Soccer, hockey, basketball, baseball, and Football. This does not mean that you both need to be a fan of the same teams, just be there to watch the games or matches. You may find that every team has something good to like about them and something bad. Of course, when your opposing teams play against each other, this could lead to some real fun, or even arguing. Just be sure to ‘tailgate’ before, during, and after the games.

Dinner By Surprise

This can only be good if you know what each other’s favorite foods are. You would also know what they cannot eat or foods they despise. Make sure that you both know to expect a dinner delivery but do not tell what it is. Order the food and deliver it to their address. This way, you can eat dinner together and talk throughout. It would be a surprise what you order, and it may be something your date is trying for the first time.

Do not take a chance and order anything out of the ordinary, such as sushi or squid, octopus, or even lamb. Many people may not think of those items when listing off foods they like or do not like. Stick to the more common foods or double-check ahead of time if the meal you are planning might be something they will eat. Be sure to mention a variety of items, so they do not know what to expect.

Final Thoughts

No matter what you and your date choose to do, keep your virtual date as close as possible to a real date. This is what it is after all! Dress up or dress down, depending on the date. Buy a jersey of your date’s favorite team so you can be a good sport. Most of all, have fun!

Whether you are in a long-distance relationship or have decided to begin dating during this pandemic, one thing to remember is that it can be tough. This is a whole new way to date, and you are not the only ones who are trying this. What types of virtual dates are available or even possible.…
