How are you? A question being asked lot recently. So many of us are isolating alone. It’s difficult to be a single person in this unknown world of Covid-19. Possibly even worse if you had recently started a relationship with someone or had dates planned. It can make that isolation even worse, knowing there is someone out there who you can’t have a simple hug with. So how can we make virtual relationships work during this unconventional and unprecedented time?
Walk Together
If you’re unable to spend time together because of social distancing but you are still enjoying a daily walk in this wonderful weather we’ve been having, why not do it together? If you live near one another you can time your walk at the same time. You can still chat and be near one another as long as you keep two metres apart. Observe those guidelines and you’ll be fine. If you’re not local to one another, simply video call whilst you walk in the sunshine.
Continue Dating
If you’d put yourself out there on the dating scene before the Coronavirus put us all into lockdown, why not continue dating anyway? If you live in the capital city of Northern Ireland, why not sign up to The Belfast Dating Site? If your hometown is Bournemouth or Lyme Regis, get yourself on The Dorset Dating Site. Just because we’re not allowed to meet up in pubs and bars, doesn’t mean we can’t connect. There are hundreds of other people just like you, looking for people just like you.
Send Little Gifts
There’s something romantic about sending and receiving gifts to one another. This could be a supermarket shop of essential items (as well as a few treats!) or supporting local businesses and getting things delivered. Do they have favourite sweets? Order them online and get them sent to them. A favourite bottle of wine? Again, order online or include in a delivered shopping order. This is such a nice way to let your loved one know you’re thinking of them.
Enjoy A Meal
Get the Facetime running and enjoy cooking a meal together, over video chat. Cooking is one of the things may couples enjoy doing together as it’s fun and intimate. Rather than cooking a meal for yourself, order pizzas to be delivered at the same time, so you can enjoy them whilst on a video call together. It’s the next best thing to being able to go to a restaurant together.
Watch A Movie
Watch the same movie together. There’s a new thing called Netflix Party so you can literally Netflix and chill together, even if you’re not in the same house. How much do you actually sit and talk whilst watching a movie anyway? It’s kind of like a cinema experience that you can enjoy with your loved ones. Give it a go with the top quality content available on Netflix.
Keep In Touch
A great way to continue your love life is to simply keep in touch with your loved one. As well as video calling, text messaging and emails, why not write a letter? There’s something romantic about receiving a handwritten letter in the post. Stay home, stay safe but enjoy connecting with people.
