6 Long-Distance Date Ideas For You & Bae This Valentine's Day

For those of us in LDRs, Valentine's Day can be hard if you can't be with your SO. While your friends are going out with their Valentine and your parents are treating themselves to a nice dinner, you feel left out and alone, away from your SO and unable to spend the holiday with them.

Make the effort this Valentine's Day to plan a fun date with your long-distance bae and make this date count! Just because you can't physically be together doesn't mean you can't do some fun activities over the phone or through FaceTime.

Remember, plan it out and time it perfectly so your dates are memorable! Or, go ahead and wing it and let your Valentine's Day run its course!

Dinner date.

If you and your boo have a favorite meal you like to share, have a FaceTime date where you cook that meal together. Or, if you're both comfortable going out to dinner alone, go to a restaurant and set up your phone across from you, so it's like you're both dining together. If that seems too much for you, have your SO's favorite food delivered to them as a cute little surprise.

Movie night.

Similar to the dinner date, pick a movie you and your SO are both dying to see or have seen a hundred times, get cozy with some popcorn at home, and FaceTime one another and watch some flicks! If there's a new movie out that you've both been wanting to see (we're looking at you, Oscar-winning films!), head to the theaters. Of course, don't have your phones out, but call each other after the movie is over and discuss!

Museum/Gallery date.

If you're both lucky enough to have museums where you live, plan a museum/gallery date where you go to your respective museums and discuss your favorite art and share with one another the different pieces you see. Feel free to send bae some cute selfies of you with the art!

Game night date night.

Giphy

Whether it's video games, card games, or board games, having a game night date night is always fun. You play by the honor system (no cheating in Monopoly or Uno!) and FaceTime one another while you play the chosen game. If you have a video game console and can join a party with one another, play with and against each other. Make your own fun by playing by your own rules (loser buys dinner, etc.) and make it interesting!

Shopping spree.

If money is on your side, plan a shopping spree with your SO. You can either FaceTime or call one another, or keep it all a secret. Buy items for each other or splurge on yourself. At the end of the shopping, you can send videos of yourself modeling your new clothes or keep your haul hidden and send the goodies to your boo as a belated V-day gift.

YouTube challenges.

An easy but fun date night for you and your boo, going on YouTube and looking up popular internet challenges would be a different kind of Valentine's date. YouTube has millions of videos of people doing makeup challenges, food challenges, or even gameshow-type challenges. You and bae can recreate these over FaceTime or send the finished products to each other and have a good laugh.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
