Long Distance Relationship Games: Five Fun Ways to Keep the Love Alive
Many long distance relationship games are designed to create real-time interaction between couples who are physically apart. Modern technology has made it possible for LDR couples to bond over interactive games and chat, flirt a bit or go all-out naughty, and simply add spice to a relationship that could definitely use it. Consider these five great ways to keep an LDR enjoyable, and your love playful and exciting.
- Online role-playing games.
The advent of Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games or MMORPG and other Internet-based reality games have enabled courting couples and those in LDRs to embark on a creative way to flirt, go on dates, create alter egos, and even get married…albeit in a virtual way. These kinds of long distance relationship games are guaranteed to bring out the most imaginative scenarios between couples and actually pave the way for them to talk about things that could become real issues in their relationship. The personas used in these role-playing games can become personal gauges as far as the level of commitment to the relationship, and how the couple interacts with each other, are concerned.
- Watch movies and then quiz each other after.
Block off a movie date-night when you can prepare some popcorn, go online and chat, and watch a movie you’ve chosen together. In real life, movie-watching is one of the most popular ways for couples to bond. It has become a favorite date activity. Despite different time zones and geographical distance, watching a film together could become one of the best long distance relationship activities you can share, as long as you give it a creative twist. After seeing the movie together, you can quiz each other about certain scenes, actors, and bits of movie trivia and have consequences for each wrong answer, and prizes for the right ones. Here are our favorite long distance relationship movies.
- Write virtual poems and send them when your partner least expects it.
Long distance relationship games can keep things light and fun.
This is one of the most creative long distance relationship games you can play with your LDR partner. Look for poetry-generating sites, particularly ones that feature a magnetic fridge-type poetry generator. This enables users to create a poem from existing words in pretty much the same way as one can construct words and sentences from alphabet-shaped fridge magnets. There are also haiku and sonnet-generating poetry sites which are fun, romantic, and meaningful to accomplish. Here are some long distance relationship poems to get your creative juices flowing.
- Create a virtual comic strip of your life together.
While it doesn’t strictly fall under the long distance relationship games category, comics are fun to read and create. There are many comic strip-generating software packages available for a free trial period which you can take advantage of to spice up your LDR. You can create one panel and have your partner do the next so you can capture cute or funny moments in your relationship or tease your partner in a caring way.
- Doodle what you feel.
Many chat programs now have special interactive features that enable couples to do more than just send each other instant messages, emoticons, and see each other on camera. Aside from playing long distance relationship games on these programs, there are also more interesting things to do such as virtual doodling for those times when a picture paints more words than actual words. Draw how you’re feeling during these chats and make your partner feel like he’s looking over your shoulder. You can even make a game out of it: you draw something first, have your partner add to the drawing next, and so on and so forth until you come up with a final product.
