Here is a list of top 10 things you can do with your boyfriend/girlfriend as well as things you can do for them from a distance. The ideas get more interesting as you go through the list!
1. Movie night! - Watch movies or TV shows simultaneously together! Yes and don't miss the popcorn and blanket. Pls tap for full view.
Get subscriptions to Netflix. The best part is you can share the same subscription. It is very inexpensive (in the US unlimited streaming is $7.99/mo).
Netflix is available in the USA, Canada, UK, and Ireland. Netflix not only works on your computer but also works on your TV and Box 360!
If you don't have Netflix in your country, here are other sites like YouTube Hulu.com and Amazon prime, these offer movies you can rent online.
You and your loved one can watch the same movie, at the same time, from the comfort of your respective couches — all while signed into video chat. Cute?
2. Sleep together - What are you waiting for??? Get a webcam! There are a bunch of ideas in this list that incorporate the use of video chatting.Pls tap for full view.
You can use FaceTime or Skype to fall asleep together! Set up webcams, talk a little then grab a cuddly present you'd given to eachother, lay down and fall asleep. You'll find this very relaxing and comforting, the closest thing you can get to falling asleep with each other properly at the moment!
You can use Skype, GMail video chat, Facetime ( iPhone /iPad ) for free video calls. GMail chat even lets you customize the size of the window and you can even increase the size up to full screen without much loss of quality.

You wanna show your SO where you live and what places influence your everyday life and don't have the money and time to fly him/her to your place? There is an easy and quick way to do so without leaving the comfort of your home.
Download Google Earth on your computer. With the latest version, you are able to record tours in Google Earth and send them by email, put them on websites, etc. Just start the tour with your place and then hop to your school, church, hangout places, malls or whatever you do in your everyday life.

A day or two before plan a meal (take turns giving each other recipes.) so that you can buy ingredients. Then dress how you both would if we could really be together that night and eat together.Yes, webcams ON. Try with each other favourite dishes to make it more fun!

9. Play a online multiplayer games together. Check out different multiplayer games that you can play with your partner online. Its guaranteed fun! Pls tap for full view.
10. Last but not the least! Shop together online! Pls tap for full view.
Browse through online shopping sites together and if one likes something, you can always share the link or URL with your love and get his opinion. It should almost work as if you'd come out of dressing room ;). Once the item is shipped, he gets to see first on webcam.
Other stuff you gotta get ASAP:
1. Viber ( free smart phone app with excellent clarity for voice only calls - uses wifi) , Whatsapp messages to stay in touch for free.
2. Send ecards with sexy messages. If you have time difference issues, leave a GMail voicemail with a romantic miss you message.
3. Weather.com to track each other's weather updates.
5. Teamviewer - free windows application to connect remotely to his/her laptop. Unless you feel uncomfortable on giving this kind of access to your computer, this feels pretty close in a LDR. Trust me!
I hope it really works for you guys! 👍
