Long Distance Dates

By June Enright, 03 Mar 21:25

Don't let your sweetie's distance from you put a damper on your dating. Whether it's a temporary separation for work or the way things have always been for you two, read on to find ways to have fun dates despite being in different time zones.

Just because you're in a long distance relationship (or LDR) doesn't mean the two of you can't have a date together. What it means is that you have to be a tad more creative than most people when it comes to date ideas and keeping the love alive.

Things Needed For a Long Distance "Date"

Although not crucial to making a long distance relationship work, there are some items can make the time spent away from each other just a little bit more tolerable. My bare-bones suggestions would be to have the following items:

* A free chat program, like MSN or Yahoo!;
* Free internet phone service, such as Skype (see: How to Use Skype for details); and
* A decent web cam and microphone.
