Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love—but what if miles stand between you and your special someone? Don’t worry, distance doesn’t have to dim the romance! With a little creativity and the magic of technology, you can still share meaningful moments, no matter how far apart you are.
If you’re celebrating this February 14th away from your loved one, we know how it can feel. Here are some sweet Valentine’s Day date ideas to make this heartwarming event unforgettable, even from afar.

Enjoy Dinner Together
Take your virtual date night up a notch by sharing the same meal from afar. Decide on a recipe together and cook it “side-by-side” over a video call, exchanging tips and laughs as you go. Once it’s ready, sit back and enjoy your meal together (while apart)!
Prefer takeout? Find similar local restaurants in your areas and order the same dish for a synchronized dining experience. Whether you’re whipping up homemade pasta or enjoying matching sushi rolls, this shared meal will make you feel like you’re right across the table from each other.
Create a Shared Playlist
Music has a way of connecting hearts. Bring back the magic of mixtapes with a modern twist by swapping playlists, turning your favorite tunes into love notes. You can even make it a fun activity by explaining why you chose each song, sharing the memories attached, or having a little dance party over video.
Music streaming platforms like Spotify now offer users the chance to create Collaborative Playlists that multiple people can contribute to. Spend the week leading up to Valentine’s Day curating a playlist filled with songs that remind you of each other. This will make the perfect soundtrack for your virtual date, and it’s also the perfect record to listen to whenever you’re missing each other!
Take an Online Class Together
Learn something new as a couple! From cooking classes and painting workshops to dance lessons and mixology tutorials, there are plenty of online experiences designed for two. Find a hobby or interest you both enjoy and dive deeper into it together—whether it’s photography, coding, or even learning a new language. It’s a fun way to bond, pick up a new skill, and create shared memories—even from different time zones. And when you finally reunite in person, you can use those new skills to have even more fun together!

Have a Virtual Date
Who says you can’t explore the world together from the comfort of your own homes? Take your Valentine’s date on a virtual tour of world-renowned museums or iconic tourist destinations. Wander through the Louvre, stroll the halls of the Museum of Natural History, or explore ancient ruins with interactive online experiences. Share your screens as you admire art, history, and culture, all while dreaming of the day you’ll visit these places hand-in-hand. It’s a fun and educational way to feel connected, even from miles apart.
