Common Questions

How long should a virtual date night last?

Most couples do well with 30 to 60 minutes. This gives enough time for one or two activities without losing focus.

What if the internet connection is bad?

Switch to audio only calls or reschedule for a better time. Test the connection ten minutes before you start.

Do we need special apps for these activities?

No. Most checklists work with standard video calls. Free apps can help with games or music but are not required.
