Long-distance relationships are tough, but they don't have to be boring. With a little creativity (and the right apps), you can have date nights that are just as fun — maybe even more memorable — than dinner at a restaurant.

1. Play Couple Games Together

Apps like Togethera let you play Love Quiz, Truth or Dare, and other couple games asynchronously. You don't even need to be online at the same time — take turns whenever you're free.

2. Cook the Same Recipe

Pick a recipe, buy the ingredients, and cook together over video call. It's messy, it's fun, and you end up with a meal you both made "together."

3. Start an Interactive Story

With Togethera's Story Time feature, you and your partner make choices together in AI-generated stories. Each decision shapes where the story goes — and you learn about each other's values along the way.

4. Watch a Movie in Sync

Use a screen-sharing tool or synced playback to watch the same movie at the same time. Don't forget the commentary texts.

5. Take a Love Language Quiz

Understanding how your partner feels loved is one of the best things you can do for your relationship. Togethera's Love Languages feature helps you both discover yours.

6. Plan Your Next Visit

Open a shared planning space and start organizing your next trip together — flights, activities, budget, and a countdown on your home screen widget.

7. Send a Mood Update

Sometimes the sweetest thing is just knowing how your partner feels. Share your mood through Togethera and let them see it on their lock screen all day.

8. Write Letters to Each Other

Use the shared notes feature to leave surprise letters for your partner to find when they open the app.

9. Set Goals Together

Create shared goals — saving for a trip, reading the same book, learning a language — and track your progress together.

10. Just Talk

Sometimes the best date night is no plan at all. Call each other, talk about your day, and just be present. The distance is temporary — your connection isn't.
