The Top In-person Dates for Long Distance Couples

By Jenny Edwards


Picture this. You finally get to see your long distance partner after driving for miles and miles. You both decide to go to the cinema. You've selected a good movie to see. You've got the snacks. The lights start to dim and you spend the next hour or so in silence. Does this sound like a good way to spend your limited time?

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.

A better idea would be to opt for some dates where you can talk and bond with one another. If you really think hard, i'm positive there are lots of great date ideas. But just incase you are unable to figure something out, here are a couple of our favorites.

Star Gazing

Drive away from the bright lights in your town. Lay a blanket on the ground and bring some warm cocoa. If you're computer smart, download an iphone application called "Star Walk" which lets you monitor over 2 hundred thousand celestial bodies and has lots of information about stars and constellations. By doing things like these, it will give you a great opportunity to speak about your future together and really grow your trust in the relationship.

Ice Skating

You don't have to be a pro figure skater or a world class NHL player to have a fun date at the ice rink. In fact, you don't even have to be good at ice skating at all. You are sure to be grabbing each others hands as you skate around the rink. If it's your first time then you may find it hard to get your balance. But you shouldn't worry, over on the ice now and again. Gents, please remember to give your girl a hand while she gets back on her feet. And Gals, please don't chuckle too much when he falls. This date can get extremely physical and pretty soon I'm sure you'll be pretending to fall just so that you can grab onto each other.

Mountaineering

Pack some sandwiches, a map, and spend the day with each other in the wonderful great outdoors. Be sure to take a camera for those perfect picture moments, and remember to bring along a makeshift first aid kit and plenty of liquids to drink. This can be a great activity to develop your abilities to make good decisions and work together.

Aquarium

An aquarium can be a wonderful place to spend the day with each other. It will usually be quite quiet during the morning and you will get to see some really cool animals. You can sit there all day and chat with each other, learning about the fish, and also learning more about your partner.

Dining Out

It doesn't have to be anything fancy, although it can if you desire. I'm sure your partner would love it if you prepared a meal for them. No matter where you decide to have your dinner date, nothing is better than eating with candle lights and flowers on the table. And gents, let me give you some advice. A woman will love it if you make a fancy meal for her. Pasta is my favorite. Just remember spaghetti isn't just for two Disney dogs to enjoy.
