With measures in place to help control the spread of Covid-19, we’re not to physically interact with others who are not in the same household as us. As a result, couples who are no longer staying under the same roof are now going through ‘long-distance relationships’. If you and your partner are currently in a ‘LDR’ now, you know that it takes extra effort to keep your connection going.
We’ve all heard that date nights are important to keep a relationship strong. However, given the current situation, we’ve to rethink how we do date nights – we can’t head out to a fancy restaurant, watch a movie, or go to the beach for a nice walk. But, just because you can’t meet each other, doesn’t mean you have to stop romancing each other. Take your partner out on an online date, dress-up at home, order food for each other, maybe even light a candle and have a video call. Stay connected, no matter how far apart you may be.
If you had travel plans together, why not visit the countries you were planning to visit over the computer. Or if you’d prefer to have a meal together, pick their dinner and surprise them with a food delivery! Maybe even have a date where you cook together virtually, so that you can enjoy the same food while apart. The list of ideas is endless, so even while you’re away from each other, you can still continue to shower them with love and affection. Plus, it’s a fun and great way to help relax. And while you may be talking every day, we’d do recommend having one extra special date night where you pull out all the stops, just like how you usually would to remind them of how much you love them!
Remember to put in the effort to let this date night stand out from your usual day to day catch-ups. We’ve rounded up a list of products that will help you achieve a flawless look for this special virtual date night (plus it’s an excuse to put on make-up and wear something other than pyjamas)! When you pay with Atome, you get to split the bill into three easy 0% interest instalments. It’s going to be a perfect date for you and bae.
