The ongoing pandemic may have paused our plans and has made us question the element of fun in our lives.

In the current situation, when you are not meeting face-to-face, it is important to be transparent while making connections. Sharing about your favourite sitcom, the book you are reading, or even your pet will help maintain the connection. Talking about your likes and your life is a great way to keep the conversation going and helps a lot in changing topics that make you both awkward.

Who says that romantic dates can only happen face-to-face? Have a virtual version with your crush. Technology has blessed us with the innovation of video-calling. So, light up some candles, play some melody and order a pizza for the date. Wear your date outfit (we all have one) and enjoy the romantic ambiance in the comfort of your home. This will make you excited when you see each other physically! 
Bond over a common interest

When you start having conversations on the likings of each other, there are usually 2-3 things or activities that you both find interesting. So why not have a bonding session on the same? In a normal situation, people go to the gym, watch a movie, or do a wine-tasting together. Replicate the same in a virtual way. You can swap your favorite recipes and cook them together on a video call or you can take online Zumba sessions together. Netflix too has the option to host a watch party. So, select a common genre, pick a movie and cheer with some cola and popcorn virtually. Doing activities that excite you and your crush together, will make your relation stronger

So, lay down in a place where you can see the night sky clearly, get on the video call with your Crush and just enjoy the moment. Stargazing will make you feel more connected
