The Top In-person Dates for Long Distance Couples

By Jenny Edwards


Picture if you will. At last you get to see your long distance partner after driving for miles. You both decide to go to the cinema. You've picked a good movie to watch. You've got the popcorn. And as the theatre lights lower, you both fall silent. Do you see what's wrong with this picture?

You may be lucky enough to get a whole weekend together, or maybe just a few hours, however long you are planning to visit with your long distance partner, choosing a date where you are both silent for the entire time isn't the best idea.

Instead try to go for some ideas that will get you chatting, touching and bonding. I'm sure that you can come up with some better ideas if you really put your mind to it. But incase you are struggling, we have laid out our favourites below.

Star Watching

Get in your car and drive out 20 minutes away from the city lights. Lay a blanket down and bring some warm chocolate. If you're a tech geek, download an iphone application called "Star Walk" which lets you monitor over 200 thousand celestial bodies and has loads of information about stars and constellations. By having dates like this, it will give you both a great opportunity to talk about your future together and really develop your trust in the relationship.

Ice Skating

An outing to the ice rink can be one of the most fun of all. Chances are you will end up grasping onto each others arms to keep yourself from falling. You could fall over a little if it's the first time you've been skating. But even the pros fall now and then. Gents, please remember to give your sweetheart a hand when she gets up. And Girls, please don't laugh too much when you watch your man fall. This date can get really physical and pretty soon I'm sure you'll be pretending to fall just so that you can grab onto one another.

Backpacking

Another great idea is to pack a lunch box, and a map, and spend the day with each other in the beautiful great outdoors. Be sure you take a camera for those picture perfect moments, and remember to take a makeshift first aid kit and plenty of drinking water. With this activity you will develop your abilities to make decisions together.

Aquarium

This is an awesome date idea if you have a local aquarium in your city. Chances are during the day time it will be pretty quiet and it will offer some amazing sights of fish whizzing through the waters. You could sit there all day and chat with each other, learning all about the fish, and also learning about yourselves.

Dinner Date

You don't always have to eat at an expensive restaurant. I'm sure your lover would love it if you made a meal for them. No matter where you choose to have your dinner date, nothing is greater than eating with candles and a rose on the table. And gents, let me give you some guidance. A girl just loves it if you cook a fancy meal for her. Pasta is my favorite. Remember spaghetti isn't just for a couple of dogs to enjoy. Yep - That's a Lady and the Tramp reference.
