One of the virtual date night ideas is calling up your partner over the phone and whispering sweet nothings to them is a surefire way to get the hair on both of your necks standing up at full mast, among other things. Tell your partner all of the things you miss about them physically. Tell them what you'd do to them if they were right there in front of you. Capitalize on all of the pent-up sexual tension between you two. Leverage the distance between you two to make you want each other more than anything else in the world. Don't worry about what you say exactly. Just focus on letting your partner know they're desired and that you're jumping at the bit to see them again.

Video call

Technology in our age has made it possible to still see your significant other face-to-face, even if it is not physical. There are many things to do in a long-distance relationship over Skype or using different platforms that support video calling. Schedule a time when the two of you are available and can be fully present for each other – a time when both of you can do something together.

On your video call, you could have a candlelit dinner where both of you can have a meal at the same time as you catch up. To make it even better, make sure that both of you dress up like you would if you were going on a real-life date.

This can serve as a gift and an unexpected but pleasant surprise. The thing is, music says "I love you" better than any words ever could. Several companies specialize in making every occasion special – even Valentine's Day. So no matter how far the two of you are from each other, you can reach each other via song. All you need to do is select a song, and your special someone will be serenaded at the location of your choice as you watch their reaction via video call.

Use long-distance toys

It was only a matter of time before a company got together and figured out how to make sex toys that can transmit to one another to help people in long-distance relationships bridge the intimacy gap. Well, if your significant other won't be around, don't sweat it. Many couples have been using long-distance sex toys to keep the fun of their long-distance relationship interesting. The toys are Bluetooth-enabled toys. These allow one partner to control what the toy is doing through their cell phone. Apparently, they are pretty satisfying!  

Choosing the right thing to do when you are away from one another may not be as easy as you think. First, you need to consider your partner's interests, hobbies, and tastes. Then, give these virtual date ideas your personal twist and have a date that will be meaningful and that will convey your true feelings to your partner.

Make Valentine's Day all about celebrating and appreciating the love that exists between the two of you despite the distance. Remember that every single day is worth celebrating.
