Some of you refuse to date across Lagos—from the island to the mainland—because you consider it long-distance, yet you’re perfectly fine dating someone in the UK. #GodSeesAll.
Anyway, we’re here to help, as always. If you’re still searching for Valentine’s Day ideas, check out our other posts on where to find a Valentine’s date and budget-friendly gifts for your partner.
(1) Virtual Restaurant Date:
Dress up, order food from your favorite restaurant, and set up a video call. Both of you can enjoy your meals together, chat, and make it feel as real as possible.
Network fit whine you but no panic.
(2) Movie Night:
There’s a website (scener.com) that allows you to stream movies simultaneously from your favorite streaming platforms. This is the perfect date idea for long-distance couples who want to share a cinematic experience.
We know this doesn’t replace tatata, but it helps create a sense of closeness and involvement, which is also important.
(3) Thoughtful Care Package:
Curate a box filled with their favorite snacks, handwritten notes, and personalized gifts—yadayadayada, the typical conventional Valentine’s Day gift.
You could either do that or, if you have a two-year-old child with your side chick, you can send them over, so they can help you handle your responsibilities.
(4)“Montoya, Por Favor”:
We’ve all seen that video, don’t break your partner’s heart like that, instead record a heartfelt video message reassuring them that they are the only one (or at most, one of four of you) in the relationship. This would help prevents surprises and unnecessary Montoya moments.
(5)Create a Shared Playlist:
Make a Valentine’s playlist filled with songs that remind you of each other. Every time they hit play, they’ll feel a deep connection to you, even from miles away. Just make sure you mix it like DJames.
(6) Sex Toys:
Because, let’s be honest—the body is not firewood. Keeping the spark alive in a long-distance relationship requires effort, and this might just help.
You can get him a sex doll he can name after you, or his crush “Amaka”.
Distance may separate you, but love is all about effort. Whether it’s a virtual date, a shared playlist, or a thoughtful package, the little things you do to stay connected matter. So, if you’re in a long-distance relationship, embrace the creativity and make this Valentine’s Day special despite the miles. Love always finds a way.
