Are you involved in a long distance relationship and looking for a way to increase intimacy between you and your partner. Do you need a catalyst to conversation and romance? If so fate has brought you exactly where you were intended to be. I have the solution to your dilemma. For optimum enjoyment I suggest a camera equipped laptop, high-speed internet, skype or some other visual conferencing software, and some comfort in the kitchen. Next you invite you partner for a dinner date. You set up a conference and together you cook your meal. The same meal…decide together what the menu shall be and agree on ingredients but… I have gotten ahead of myself, first let us begin with your preparation…that is after she says yes.
Once you are in the attire you have chosen…the style that feels the most you…you need to go clean the kitchen. I say get dressed then clean the kitchen because this will let you know if you chose the right attire. If you can't clean the kitchen in it you can't cook in it. You do not want to look like you are worried about messing up your clothes while you are cooking. That is not a good look…so if you can clean the kitchen in it you will be fine. Next give her a call…Skype is a great service for this part. Once she is on you can talk for a while and get the computers set up so there is a good view of the kitchens and you can talk comfortably. Then you began cooking together…drinkers…I would introduce a nice moscato at this point.
After preparing the meal you can sit eat together and talk. After dinner you can retire to the living room or relax at the kitchen table. This is a good time for a glass of wine and you could log onto a game service like pogo or yahoo messenger and play a quick game of dominoes, scrabble (literati), backgammon, or whatever tickles your fancy. Playful interaction and assistance is the goal of the game here…at least I have to remind myself of that…each couple will be different but try to make this a bonding experience.
I think you should be able to take it from here…Good luck and may your time apart pass quickly.

James,All I can say is, "Magnifique!" This is a very helpful write, and thanks for sharing it with us.Thank you...Glad you enjoyed it Ronyae...I got to get back in the practice of writing.James,This is a good way to do it!
Hi James,Very interesting. Good tips. Online dating is fantastic! you get to meet people from different countries, (I have a webcam. LOL) I coined this phrase to my friends, "I am globally dating." and I usually get a nice smile and a well-intentioned laugh.Thanks James.NenitaNenita....Globally dating, huh....I like it. I am finding it more feasible than I initially believed. I have really connected with someone and have been journaling about the experience so I figured I would write a few articles and see what others have to share.
JamesJames,Yes, it is feasible.When I see that smile (in my monitor), that someone I connected the other side of the globe, it makes my day much better. LOLGood luck.Nenita
Oh my - who would have thought to do all this. Interesting spin on a dating style that isn't known for its romance.There shall be more to come...I am feeling inspired....
Great idea for a cooking date online. It really can help increase intimacy. Thank youThank you for reading this....it you try it out let me know how it works for you. My girlfriend and I are doing some research on online relationships so anything you are willing to share is greatly appreciated.
It's funny, cause a friend of mine at work is doing just that.... And she is loving it! She says she can't wait for the next date...I think I am going to replace cable TV with a virtual boyfriend. Thanks.I was telling a coworker today about me laying in my room talking to Janka on my laptop and carrying her into the kitchen to watch me fix something to eat. It is definitely different...I was trying to imagine as a child watching a sitcom where this kind of thing was possible. I mean I thought Max Headroom was weird. LOL....but it is a lot of fun and when there is a connection it can be quite powerful. I believe my relationship will work out and it is only long distance momentarily.
Aren't you creative James. Sounds like a great date.I have a friend who has family living in different states. At Christmas they put the webcam in their kitchens and prepared Christmas dinner together while chatting. I thought it was a wonderful idea.Why thank you...it has been a lot fun finding new ways to show Janka I am thinking of her...Hopefully you enjoy my next article...how to create a mix cd....
