• Add a theme - Pick decorations and cook food according to a specific theme. This can be about a movie, celebration, time period, game, or anything that you both like.

• Swap food ideas - Recommend dishes to each other and attempt to cook them. These can be cuisines that are unique in your foreign partner’s country. These can also be foods like steak or pasta that are easy for both of you to cook.

Have a fun virtual game night.

Look for date night games to play online with your partner.
