“When you’re long distance, living busy, separate lives, it’s easy for FaceTime calls to devolve into ‘how was your day?’ updates. Lovewick makes them feel like real dates!”
“We met on a dating app while living in different cities, and Lovewick helped us skip the small talk, share fun experiences, and stay connected until we were able to close the gap.”
“My boyfriend is in the military, so being apart for long periods of time is unavoidable. Nothing compares to being in person, but Lovewick gets closer than anything else we’ve tried.”

Eliminates hunting for long distance date ideas
Exposes you to new, exciting activities you’ll both like
Incorporates decades of research on love & intimacy
Transforms your next video call into something special
If your default long distance date is a Netflix binge or movie night because it’s too hard to find a distance-friendly date activity that you’re both into, we got you!
Our Dream Date Quiz eliminates time-consuming long distance date idea research and planning by blending your interests with those of your long distance partner and matching you with pre-planned long distance dates that you’re BOTH game for. Your time is precious and you make so many decisions every day; let us make sure you’re on the same page, and make long distance date night easy!
Based on your quiz results, Lovewick chooses from our catalog of long distance date ideas and populates your date dashboard with a variety of fun, “mystery” date experiences across categories like arts, crafts, cooking, wellness, intimacy, and more! On each riddle-style date card, you get just enough information to prepare for your long distance date without totally spoiling the surprise — to set aside the right amount of time, to understand the vibe, and to gather any supplies needed for your next date night. And, if you really don’t like the sound of one of your long distance dates, you have the option to swap it out for something new!
To ensure minimal planning, all of our long distance date ideas require either no supplies or very basic ones that are easy to grab same-day on a quick grocery store, Walmart, or Target run.
Once you’ve gathered basic supplies for your long distance date, just jump on a video call using your platform of choice (WhatsApp, FaceTime, GoogleMeet, Discord, etc.) and start the date by joining your private, custom virtual date room. In this room, you can BOTH control the playback of the on-demand, expert-guided video date, playing and pausing seamlessly.
No more grainy, laggy video screenshare and audio!
We make it easy to engage your senses and your hearts! Lovewick’s on-demand video dates are co-created with expert chefs, arts, craftspeople, therapists, and more, to ensure that you actually deepen your connection with your long distance partner, not just tune out and watch passively.
Every date builds to a moment of pride or celebration related to a new skill or hobby, weaves in intimacy-building conversation questions to spice things up, and is paired with a curated Spotify playlist to add to the date theme or vibe.
After each date, add a photo or screenshot from your long distance date to commemorate the experience together! That way, every time you come to your dashboard for your next date night, you can reflect on past dates and feel those warm fuzzies of gratitude (which has psychological benefits that both you and your partner enjoy).
If you have the Lovewick app, you can also add these photos to your Memories timeline, so they live with your other wonderful moments.
Travel virtually through cooking world cuisines
Make art for your bedrooms or just for laughs
Explore and unleash your “spicy” sides together

Lovewick Distance Dates are great for long distance relationships because they are online date experiences, not just long distance date ideas that still take a lot of time and effort to research, plan, and pull off. Instead of scouring Reddit for long distance date ideas that are actually fun, reading tons of articles and blogs to plan that date, and then cobbling together or trying to screenshare videos during your date, Lovewick matches you with dates that you and your partner enjoy, designs high quality distance-friendly dates that are possible with no or simple supplies, and partners with expert date guides to bring these date ideas to life in just one-click.
You can feel confident that you’ll like your Lovewick long distance dates for two main reasons. First, we choose “mystery” dates for you based on which types of dates align with you and your partner’s interests from your Dream Date quiz. Second, included in your purchase are 2 “swaps”, where you have the ability to swap out dates for new ones if they look like something you’ve done recently together for a date night or just aren’t interested in based on the materials, title, or vibe. We want you to experience the magic of mystery without feeling trapped 🙂 If even after swapping you have dates that don’t meet your needs (ex: dietary restrictions), feel free to email support@lovewick.com so we can help.
To do a Lovewick Distance Date you’ll need a computer (ideally a laptop) with an Internet connection and any supplies or materials listed under the “What you’ll need” sub-header for a given date. Any materials you need should be easy to get same-day from a local grocery store, Target, or Walmart. We want you spending time on your date, not stressing about how to get your materials!
Some examples of long distance dates include virtual cooking classes, virtual arts & crafts workshops, online games like improv or trivia, intimate games and activities to spice things up, and much more. All long distance dates focus on a sharing a new experience together, like learning a new skill, or trying a new hobby or activity. Why? Many research studies have found that when couples do new, exciting things together, they experience higher relationship satisfaction and even desire (see research on the role of “self-expansion” in romantic love).
Unlike YouTube tutorials, Lovewick Distance Dates are designed to be interactive for two people watching and following along with the video content (ex: show and tell, puzzles, friendly competition), to have a romantic “more than friends” angle so it feels like a date and not like a class, to last a Goldilocks amount of time (30 minute date minimum, 90 minute maximum), and to require basic materials. I mean, seriously, how many times have you watched a YouTube video only to learn that the materials you need are super specific things that you have to order days in advance or go to a specialty store for? We aim to make it as easy as possible to have a long distance date that helps you feel and stay connected.
Lovewick is a company that was founded for, dare we say, the “right reasons” — to make it easier to feel and stay in love. We have a small, passionate team of romantic nerds that started by building a free mobile app for couples, which has a 4.9 star rating in the US App Store and over 400,000 registered users, and now we’re doubling down on helping long distance relationships after learning so much about their unmet needs and pain points. Check out Our Story page to learn more about our values and founding story.
Lovewick does not share any personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We think it’d be quite shady to share information about your relationship (that can be intimate and personal!) with third parties for their gain, without your consent. That said, we do occasionally link out to third party products and services to make getting supplies for your long distance date easier (ex: Walmart, Amazon, etc.) that you can choose to click on if you find them valuable. If you click on those links and end up buying something, we may earn a small commission, but again, none of your relationship data is being shared.
