Step 1: Set up your video-chatting application of choice.

Step 4: Press \u201cplay\u201d at the same time. Voil\u00e0\u2014you can still hysterically sob through the end of \u201cThe Notebook\u201d together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Long-Range Movie Night, Cinema Edition <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A twist on the aforementioned long-range movie night.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Check what\u2019s playing at your respective local cinemas.

Step 3: Popcorn and candy hearts. You know the drill.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Movie time. It\u2019s true\u2014you\u2019re that weirdo that goes to the cinema alone. But at least you know that your significant other is doing the exact same thing, wherever they are.

3.<\/strong> FaceTime Dinner Date <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spend the week leading up to Valentine\u2019s Day thinking of a meal you\u2019d like to cook together. When you\u2019ve both decided on one, pick a time to go out and buy the groceries\u2014it\u2019s nice to think about your person searching for ingredients at the same time as you. On the Big Day, prop up your device of choice in a splash-free zone, and start cooking. You can chat (and dig at each other\u2019s culinary skills) as you\u2019re preparing. When the meal is done, prop up your on-screen companion across the table from you and enjoy your meal \u201ctogether.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
