You don’t necessarily need to be physically close to your romantic partner to spend the best Valentine’s Day ever. With Valentine’s Day 2019 just around the corner, the team of creatives at CharmDate.com decided to share an innovative and fun way to bring members of the Russian online dating site together for February 14.

Being in a long-distance relationship doesn’t have to mean that you will be alone stuck in your bedroom this coming Valentine’s Day. In fact, there are quite a few ideas to enjoy the coming Valentine’s Day with your long-distance partner in a memorable way.

You might be surprised to hear this, but certain things can actually replace IRL hugs and kisses with your virtual Russian girlfriend. Just because you’re in a long-distance relationship with a Russian woman who is thousands of miles away from you, it doesn’t mean that you cannot spend Valentine’s Day together like a normal couple.

If you put your creative thinking to use to impress your Russian lady this coming Valentine’s Day, you’ll leave her no chance but to finally understand that you’re the one. Follow these date ideas to be able to enjoy Valentine’s Day with your long-distance partner.

Note: keep in mind that planning in advance is key to making your long-distance girlfriend’s heart melt similar to how it melts when she watches a minute-long video full of cute puppies and kittens.

4 date ideas to spend Valentine’s Day together with your virtual Russian girlfriend

Polls show that photobooks featuring photos of lovebirds is one of the most popular gifts on Valentine’s

Day. But just because you’re in a long-distance relationship with a Russian or Ukrainian woman doesn’t necessarily mean that you should be missing out on the opportunity to create a photo book for your girlfriend. Create a virtual photobook and let Photoshop be your best friend while you’re at it (hint: put your photo editing and cropping skills to use by Photoshopping you and your Russian girlfriend together). Problem solved: now you finally have your first photo together! Sort of…

Another way to melt your online girlfriend’s heart on Feb. 14 is to create a playlist full of passionate songs (don’t forget what kind of music she likes and what her favorite bands and artists are!) so you can play it on the background while in a web cam chat with her on Valentine’s Day (told ya, planning in advance is crucial to impress your long-distance partner).

One of the most popular activities for Valentine’s Day is watching a movie together. If you’re in a long-distance relationship, it may seem as if watching romantic movies together with your partner isn’t possible. But romantic experts at CharmDate beg to differ! You and your Russian girlfriend should pick your favorite movies – one or two each – arrange a live web cam chat and go on a movie marathon on February 14. This will feel like a genuine experience in the cinema, as you will be able to react to what’s happening in the movies in real time, laugh together, and do what all other couples do on Valentine’s Day.

A Valentine’s Day date is nothing without a romantic dinner, or so they say… No problem! You and your long-distance Russian girlfriend can have a romantic dinner via video chat. Yes, you’ve read that right. Channel the romantic vibes on Valentine’s Day by cooking the same meals (or order them prepped), get the same bottle of wine or champagne, and enjoy a romantic dinner on video chat in real life. Hint: send her a bottle of your favorite wine or champagne in advance so it gets delivered to her doorstep just in time for February 14.
