What are some high effort dates that your boyfriends are doing during the pandemic?

Back before it got cold, my husband took me upstate to do some fall activities every other weekend in September and October. We explored an orchard, picked some apples, drank hot cider, then on the way back into the city, we’d hit a couple of new vineyards each time. It was nice to just talk and connect with each other while strolling through the rows or looking up at the stars.

It was outside, fun, and not the same old dinner and a movie formula. Normally, we attend outdoor festivals 2-3x a month as well, but with Covid, obviously we’ve had to change our patterns. For reference, we usually go on an actual date (not just sitting on the couch and eating takeout or cooking) or activity about 2x a week.

We’re doing movie nights together since we’re physically apart. He sent me one of those small fancy popcorn gift baskets for the occasion. Then we stream the movie together and pause it when we want to talk about it. We both dress up for the occasion, even getting ready together sometimes by asking the other which perfume/cologne would work best for the occasion since we won’t be there to smell it in person. I think it’s fun. Other times we’ll try a new recipe together and cook it separately at the same time via zoom. Then, we take turns pretending to be food critics haha

We’ve had so much fun during the pandemic. I planned an entire picnic date where I created a cheeseboard. He brought me to his rooftop and planned dinner by the city skyline (ordered in sushi and wine) where we danced on the roof. We also went to the beach back when it was warmer, and we’ve done BBQ (he cooked and prepped everything). On lazy days in, he draws a bath for the both of us by candlelight. The pandemic in the city has forced us to be really creative, but we’ve tried things we normally probably wouldn’t have considered otherwise!

I would say that the best effort is not pestering me about seeing each other at all. Since it's a pandemic and both have parents at risk, we don't really do dates and I would be annoyed if he insisted in going out.

He resorted on showing that he thinks about me through thoughtful gifts when we get to say hello in person.

When the situation is not that bad, to the point that high quality restaurants and fancy XIX century cafes are open, we're going there in the least crowded hours. Keeping the mask on when talking, we remove it only to drink/eat.

My boyfriend took me 2 hours away to see the lights and go hot tubbing and to eat dinner. No dine in is allowed in my state right now so I got to pick where I wanted take out from. I declined going hot tubbing bc I just felt uncomfy so he took me to get my nails done instead. Then we went and bought some fun snacks and beer at h-mart.

We go on walks with the puppy he got us. He orders home menus from star restaurants once a week so we can feel like we have date nights at home. We're also busy looking for our dream house. We go boating (but it's too cold now). He introduced me to golf since that's practically the only sport we can do these times, so he got me a brand new set of clubs in a beautiful pink bag with a huge ass crown on it. He's awesome ❤️
