Long distance quarantine? Video calls from the kitchen should do the trick.

Virtual dates

Dates are vital and even though the classic date may be out the window, this is your chance to ‘lawk cute’ for bae.

A ‘bevvies’ session via Zoom call is always a great way to still see each other during lockdown.

Movies date? No problem. With Netflix Party you can share this moment as it allows you to sync screens. With the added bonus of sharing comments without pausing.

Games night is a breeze with ‘Words with Friends 2.’ This gaming app is similar to scrabble and allows for 2 or more people, so double dates shouldn’t be a problem. It is available on Andriod, iOS and Windows phone
