One interesting thing about love? It’s wonderfully adaptable. That’s great news for couples who are either unable to get to their favorite places or are in long-distance relationships. Virtual dates offer a unique way to still enjoy your Valentine’s Day with that special someone.
1. Start Off With Breakfast In Bed
Whether you’re in the same place or not, it can be fun to start Valentine’s Day with a breakfast treat. If you’re together, you can make meals that both of you enjoy and chill in bed. Virtually, you can talk to each other while enjoying your favorite meals.
2. An Online Dance Class
If you’re in the mood to work up a sweat, a virtual dance glass is a great idea. With the choices out there, you can take on something you’ve both done before or try something new. Of course, you can check out exercise classes too if that’s more up your alley.
3. A Friendly Cook-Off
Do you remember how everyone wanted to try new recipes during the first lockdown? Well, some of that hasn’t changed. Many cooking and baking professionals host online cooking classes so it’s an ideal time for the both of you to try something new and see who does it better.

4. Have A Fun Movie Night
With the uncertainty of cinemas, more premium movies are available through streaming. Why not choose the one you’ve both wanted to see and watch it together? If you use the right sharing platform, you won’t miss any of your partner’s laughs or snarky comments.
5. Check Out Virtual Concerts
Just like movies, concerts have had to go online too. There’s no doubt that you’ll have quite a few to choose from for your special date. If you’re more interested in Broadway plays, that may be an option too.
6. Try Out A New Delivery Together
Why put off trying out a new restaurant when they can deliver food right to your door? Once it’s there, you can both get on Zoom and enjoy.
7. Take A Virtual Tour
Several museums, parks, and zoos offer virtual tours. If you’ve always wanted a peek at space, then check out what NASA has to offer. It’s an interesting way to spend Valentine’s Day when you can’t go out.
8. Open Gifts Together
What about your own type of unboxing? You can send each other gifts for Valentine’s Day and open them together. To make it extra fun, you could open them in order of how personal they get.
9. Visit Somewhere New
If you can leave the house but still can’t see each other, then you can take your partner on a personal tour. It can be the beach, a park, or another location you’d love to show them.

10. Try Out A Fun Sex Class
Cooking classes aren’t the only ones that have gone virtual. Sex therapists and gurus are also offering their services online. These classes are a good way to set the tone for how you’d like the rest of the night to go.
11. Play A Drinking Game
This one combines two things that you can enjoy together. First, you can play around with making new cocktails then set the rules for the game. It’s common to have a drink based on something a character says or does in a movie but you can come up with anything you want.
12. Have A Trivia Night
Are you and your partner into trivia games? Some of those have gone virtual too! It’s an easy way to have some fun while getting closer to them.
13. Plan Your Escape
Have you been dying to try an escape room? Well, for Valentine’s Day, you can. It’s all the fun of figuring out clues together without actually being physically locked in a room.
14. Bring Out The VR gear
Are you both gamers? Then use your VR headgear for more interactive virtual tours, games, or amusement park rides. It will feel like you’re there together.
15. Plan A Future Vacation
Just because you can’t visit your preferred destination now, doesn’t mean that will always be the case. Many vacation spots are offering virtual tours so it’s possible to plan a future visit in great detail as you’re checking them out.
It’s good to know that you have options to have a fun time on Valentine’s Day even if you can’t go where you want to. These virtual dates might also give you some workable ideas for future dates when your movements aren’t as restricted. Whatever you choose to do, remember to personalize the experience so it meets you and your partner’s needs.
