Date ideas
Distance makes it hard to do things together. One way to fix that is to watch a movie at the same time. Find a film both of you like. Choose a time that fits both schedules. Open a video call. Start the movie together. Pause when a scene gives you something to say. Use the time to talk about it. The eight steps below show you specific things to do. They are easy to follow from your own home.
Action
Look for a film with several close scenes. Make sure both of you can play it. Set a time that works for your locations. Let your partner know the name in advance so you are ready.
Pro-Tip
Read a short summary first to know what kind of scenes to expect during the watch.
Spicy Twist
Agree on how explicit you want the film to be before you pick.
Action
Set up your device so the camera shows your face and upper body. Check your lighting and background. Call your partner. Say hello and count down to start the movie at the same time.
Pro-Tip
Have water or a drink near you so you do not need to leave the call during the movie.
Spicy Twist
Sit in a comfortable chair or on your bed for the full duration.
Action
Stop the movie when two people look at each other on screen. Do the same with your partner through the camera. Hold the look for twenty seconds. Tell each other what you notice.
Pro-Tip
Turn off other notifications so nothing breaks the moment during the pause and you can focus fully.

Count out loud together to help keep the same pace on both ends of the call.

Take notes on anything you both agree on for future calls.
Action
