Romantic ideas for long-distance relationships
If you and your partner find yourselves on other sides of the country or world for Valentine’s Day, this does not mean that you have to sacrifice this special occasion. There are plenty of amazing romantic ideas that will make this a special occasion and one to remember.
Arrange a time
The first thing you will need to do if you want any of these romantic ideas to work is to set a time to meet up with your Valentine online. Make sure that you keep time zones in mind when planning so that you don’t miss one another. A virtual date might not sound as great as a face-to-face experience. However, it’s better than skipping this occasion altogether.
Set the mood
When planning your online date, you should send your partner a short list of romantic ideas to create just the right mood. In other words, you should light candles on your side and have them do the same. If you feel like enjoying a meal ‘together’, you should also make sure that they have something prepared. You can also play some soft music in the background to help create the perfect atmosphere.
Perfect gifts
It wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without at least sending a small gift. Some of the most romantic ideas for gifts include fresh flowers, luxury chocolates, teddy bears, wine and balloons. You can have the gift delivered to the recipient sometime during that day. All you need to be sure of is the delivery address – work or home – and don’t forget to include a sweet message in the card too.
Undivided attention
The most important thing you can do for your partner at this time is give them your undivided attention. This means that you should turn your phone to silent and ignore any notifications that may come through while you are enjoying your date. There are few things worse than really connecting with your partner only to have the mood disrupted by text messages or phone calls.
A second celebration
Since you were not able to see one another physically on Valentine’s Day, you can always spoil your partner once they return home. You can use the same romantic ideas listed above. This time, however, you will be able to set everything up yourself, at home.
Don’t miss out on Valentine’s Day just because you cannot be in the same room together. Thanks to technology, there is always a way around it! If you make the time to let your Valentine know how much you care, it will definitely help strengthen your relationship.
