Hello my wonderful friend! Today's video is on long-distance date ideas that are
actually fun. Now whether you have met online or through a dating app or if you
are staying home right now, knowing how to have some fun date ideas that you
can do online is a really good tool to have in your back pocket. It makes
getting to know each other a lot easier and a lot more fun. I also have some
really good guidelines for you at the end of this video on some good ways you
can put your best foot forward and really impress her and attract her so be
sure to watch to the end. If this is your first time watching be sure to subscribe

dating coach for men. My specialty is helping good guys get the girl of your
dreams. Now a lot of people are wondering right now "How in the world do I have a
fun date night online when I can't see the person?" And that's a very, very
good question. One of the best tips you can know is that preparedness goes a
long way, have something planned. Otherwise it just kind of feels
awkward and you're just kind of hanging out and you don't really know what to do
or how to get to know each other better. This is obviously where the internet is
so helpful and having some kind of video chat really is key. Through video, it's
obviously live, so you're interacting live and it also helps you kind of read
the situation better, read each other's body language a little bit,
obviously you can't read a ton, but it really helps you feel connected and
enjoy your time together. Now some of the ideas I'm about to share with you are
really good for like a first date or first few dates, others you'll want to
use when you're a little bit more serious. I wanted to give you options
though because having options is huge. So with that let's get started. Long distance
date idea number one is to play games online and video chat while you do it.
There are various websites that will let you play checkers or something
online and this really gives you opportunity to chat, you're doing something
so you're busy it helps keep the conversation moving
and it's just fun. You can also step outside of board games online and
you could just do some gaming online if that is something she is interested in.
For instance, the Nintendo Switch Online is a great option or Steam, there are two
player games that you can play online and just chat and have fun with. One of
the reasons I feel playing games while you're dating is such a good idea is
actually because it helps you get a read on each other, it helps you know how well
you play together, how well you work together, so that is a very, very good
option. Playing games is also better than watching a movie because it's
interactive. You can talk and interact with each
other where watching a movie, especially on a first date, it doesn't give you
a lot of opportunity to talk. Idea number two is to exercise together. Now I do
want to point out that this one is better left a little bit later. You're
probably not going to want to do this on the first date unless she's just kind of
an active person who would enjoy something like that. The truth is you can
have so much fun exercising together. It gives you an
opportunity to just let your hair down and it's a more relaxed and chilled date
and it gives you plenty of opportunity to just be playful and have fun with it.
There are plenty of YouTube videos and livestreams of fun workouts. In addition
to that, especially again if you're a little more serious in your relationship,
setting healthy habits from the beginning as a couple is a really good
move. So have fun with it, loosen up and consider just exercising together. And
number three is to take turns asking each other questions. If you've been watching
my videos for a while you know I am a huge fan of 20 questions. This gives you
plenty of opportunity to just ask random questions and really get to know
each other. You can be a little bit flirty, you can be a little bit playful,
you can really dig deep a little bit and really get to know the person,
there's so much potential here. And actually, if you have my course How to
Get a Girlfriend then you also got access to my free guide 54 Best
Conversation Starters. Use that, guys. That is one of the best
tools that you can have for things like playing 20 questions. As a matter of fact,
you could just tell her "Hey, I have this guide, 54 Conversation Starters, do you
want to just go through the list?" And you ask the question and you both answer it.
There are similar games you could play to 20 questions. For instance, two
truths and a lie. That one is kind of fun because it really helps you get to know
each other and it's kind of a surprise and kind of a game, it really can be a
blast. You could also just take turns telling each other funny stories. Come
prepared before the date starts with a list of just some funny stories and just
exchange them and laugh together. Real fast before we get to idea number four,
I want to hear from you in the comments. Would you guys like to see more videos
on long-distance dating and longer distant date ideas? If you would be sure
to type "YES!" in the comments below. Idea number four is to watch a sunrise
or a sunset or to watch the stars together. One of the hardest things
about a long-distance relationship is there are certain memories and events,
etc. that you would like to share with each other. When you see a sunrise, you
want someone there to watch it with you. And even though they can't be there with
you they can still experience it with you. So you can both get on video chat
and go watch the Sunrise or look at the Stars or whatever it is, you can
still have those experiences just do it over video chat. And it gives you plenty
of time again to talk to get to know each other and to enjoy the moment.
And we are to idea number five, and that is, to cook together. I'm gonna let you in
on a little secret. Girls really like guys who can cook, it's really attractive,
and so this is a good idea on a lot of levels.
Now obviously you can't cook together in person,
but you can go online and find a recipe that you both think sounds were really
fun and really yummy and you could make it together. Again, on video chat. This way
you're talking to each other as you're making it, you get to taste it together
and experience it together. You could also exchange
favorite recipes. She makes your favorite recipe, you make her favorite recipe, and
again enjoy that whole process together. Now this does require a little bit of
preparation ahead of time just because you want to make sure that you both have
the ingredients you need, otherwise it's gonna be a little bit awkward. So be sure
to take that into consideration and maybe even consider making recipes that
have really, really easy ingredients that most people have on hand. And another
idea is that you could play Pictionary together. Two people Pictionary. This is
really fun especially if you don't know how to draw, it's kind of just hilarious
to be perfectly honest with you, and it helps you laugh together and just have
fun. That's it for my date ideas, however we're getting to those important
guidelines that will set you up for success. I had so many ideas that I
wanted to share with you so if you would like another video on long-distance
relationship date ideas please let me know in the comments so I know to make
another. But let's get started with the guidelines. Guideline number one is to look
good for her. You really have to approach an online date the same way you would
approach a real date, like a face-to-face date. You want to look attractive, and
guys, she wants to see you looking attractive. So make sure that you look
nice for her. This will also help you feel attractive, it will help you feel
prepared, and more confident. This is why I always teach my clients to make sure
you are dressing to empower and you're presenting yourself very attractively,
because it actually affects you and makes you feel more relaxed and more
more likely to flirt and more comfortable and confident so be sure you
come prepared. The second guideline is to make sure you are free from distractions.
Again, you have to approach this like a real date. If you were to take phone
calls or if you had your buddies with you on a face-to-face date,
that's not going make a good impression at all. You want to make sure
that you're taking this seriously and that she is the focus of your attention
just like you want to be the focus of her attention.
So keep distractions as minimal as possible and really just allow yourself
to spend this special time with her. She has set her time aside for you and
you obviously want to set your time aside for her. And we are to guideline
number three that I probably should have mentioned first, because this one is so
important. When you ask her out, give her three options and ask her which one she
would like to do. Again, if you have my course How to Get a Girlfriend, you know
guys, that this is one of the biggest things I teach when asking a girl out.
Skipping this step alone can actually cause a girl to turn you down, even if
she wants to go out with you. And the reason is, it's because it makes her
uncomfortable. She needs to know what to prepare for and sometimes a girl will
turn you down simply because that activity makes her uncomfortable. I have
been in this situation. So you want to make sure you're stacking the deck in
your favor. Give her three options and ask her which one she would like to do.
This way you make sure that it's still something you would like to do and it
gives her plenty of options so she can pick what sounds the most fun to her.
Follow those guidelines and you are setting yourself up for success. Now
