Let’s accept it, Distance Relationships are not easy to handle. It takes time and effort to keep the spark when you are in a long-distance relationship (LDR). But do you know, a little bit of creativity and effort can turn it into an opportunity to blend.
In this blog, we will teach you ways by which you can keep your relationship spiced up.
Here’s what you can do to keep the flame burning:
1. Dress Up!
Even if you aren’t leaving the house, you should still look and feel your best.
Change out of your pajamas and put on your favorite clothes! Prepare as if you were meeting your partner in person.
Whether it’s applying make-up or curling your hair, dressing up will put you in the appropriate mood, boost your confidence, and make the encounter feel more like a typical date.
2. Select a pleasing angle
Take time to experiment with your camera to get the optimal perspective. Set the laptop at eye level; it is far more attractive to stare into your eyes than up your nostrils or on top of your head!
3. Think about lighting
Make sure your partner can see your face; if your call is in the evening, use a lamp behind the screen to keep you well-lit and your date able to see you well.
If you are conversing during the day, position your camera near a window to catch the natural illumination. Good lighting and ambiance may significantly improve your appearance.
4. Plan and organize your technology!
Do not postpone all preparations until the last minute; being nervous to see your partner on video calls and miss them is not appealing!
To guarantee that the call runs as smoothly as possible, test the video and audio beforehand.
This will allow you to address any technological issues before your date.
5. Have fun!
Traditional dates usually involve some kind of activity, whether a walk, meal or a drink, and virtual dates can be the same.
Avoid making the date seem like an interview and get creative; have a glass of wine/mocktail together, you could even cook the same recipe and have a meal together – see whose turns out best!
Or you both can watch the same movies, many platforms provide features in which two parties can enjoy movies from a distance.
Make sure you and your partner have access to your choice streaming service, whether it’s Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime.
Some providers allow multiple users on the same account to stream from various devices/locations, while others do not, so double-check this before proceeding. Some streaming services are not available in some countries.
In this situation, have one person rent the movie from iTunes, Google Movies, or a similar service, while the other watches it through a subscription.
Make sure that you both are synced while watching the movie.
Just because you can’t be in the same room, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun!
6. Plan another date
If you loved your date with your partner and want to hold a date again, let them know! Make a note of another date.
In conclusion, while long-distance relationships may present their own set of challenges, they also offer unique opportunities for creativity and connection.
By incorporating simple yet thoughtful strategies into your routine, such as dressing up, selecting flattering angles, optimizing lighting, preparing technology, and embracing fun activities together, you can keep the flame burning bright despite the physical distance.
Moreover, communicating your desire for future dates ensures a continuous cycle of anticipation and excitement, strengthening the bond between you and your partner.
Remember, with a little ingenuity and effort, distance can become an avenue for
