Many singles are choosing to use FaceTime and other video conferencing apps to conduct their first dates. Not only is this a safe way to meet your matches given the current situation, but it’s a great way to screen for chemistry from the comfort of your own home.However, many singles wonder, “What the heck am I going to do on this call?”South Carolina Matchmakers has you covered. Here are 5 of our favorite date ideas for FaceTime you can try right now:

1. Compare pantry notes and cook a meal together that you both have the ingredients for, then enjoy it over a glass or two of wine. Alternatively, you can arrange to have a meal delivered to both you and your virtual date from the same restaurant and enjoy it together.

2. Unleash your artistic side, and try sketching a portrait of each other. Don’t worry if the result is closer to Picasso than Rembrandt – sharing a few laughs is a great way to feel more connected. (Feel free to add wine to this idea, which could also be delivered to both you and your date!)

3. If you’re in a more rural area where you can take a walk in a secluded park or greenbelt, FaceTime with your date as you stroll along. If the other person is cooped up in a big city, being a virtual companion on your nature walk may be just the thing to cheer them up.

4. Playing a game like 20 questions is a creative way to learn more about each other. With the right match, Truth or Dare could be fun too!

5. If you’re both into music, compare playlists. Swap suggestions for everything from your must-have workout mix to road trip favorites.If you need a few more tips for ensuring a successful video date, please check out this article for 11 tips that will make your dates a cinch!And if you’re struggling to meet compatible matches for any reason or simply want to receive an instant upgrade to your dating life, our team is ready to introduce you to attractive singles in your area you’re sure to enjoy.
