Zoom dating is becoming extremely popular.
Whether it is your first Zoom date or not, having a plan can make your date much more fun.
So why would you even consider having a video date on Zoom instead of meeting in person?
5 Advantages of Zoom Dating Over Real Dates
1. It is a safe alternative to in-person dates during the virus epidemic. Meeting over video calls will keep you safe while still allowing you to meet new people and have a dating life during the epidemic.
2. It is cheap. In fact, it is even cheaper than coffee dates. Zoom dates can save you a lot of money especially if you lost your job or experienced a salary reduction.
3. It is fast. You don’t have to prepare much or spend time traveling anywhere.
4. You can always stop your video call if things don’t go well. Even if you don’t feel like there is any chemistry while chatting on a dating site, meeting for a short video call can help you to confirm your suspicions without wasting anyone’s time.
5. It is easier to hide your nervousness when video chatting online.

11 Best Ideas for Your Zoom Date
So you met someone online and decided to do a video call over Zoom instead of meeting in person.
If you are both new to Zoom dating, your video call can become boring or even awkward pretty fast.
The same can happen if both of you are shy or nervous.
So what can you do to avoid awkward silences and make your virtual date exciting and fun?
Here are some ideas.
1. Play a Game
Playing a game like Truth or Dare or Never Have I Ever is one way to make your Zoom date fun and get to know each other at the same time.
“Hey, how about we try playing Truth or Dare to get to know each other better? I think this can be a lot of fun”
2. Workout Together
If you are both into an active lifestyle it might be fun to have a workout together at home over Zoom.
Or maybe you can even do yoga together?
You can always find a workout video on YouTube and then follow it together.
“You told me you are really into yoga so I was thinking how about we try doing some yoga over Zoom? This might be a good way to get to know each other.”
3. Get Some Drinks
First dates are always fun with a drink or two to unwind and relax.
Since both of you are at home and don’t need to drive, you don’t have to worry about getting drunk as long as you can still hold a conversation.
Plus drinks are likely much cheaper in your local liquor store than in a restaurant or bar.
“I think it might be fun to get a few drinks for our Zoom date tonight. What do you think?”

4. Have Dinner Together
If you like dinner dates, you can have an actual dinner date over Zoom.
Just make sure to prepare some food before your Zoom date.
If you are too lazy or lack the skills to prepare food yourself just order it online through Uber Eats or a similar app.
If you really feel like a gentleman, you can also order food for your date to surprise her and make a great first impression.
“I was thinking it might be fun to have a proper dinner date tonight. What food are you getting?”
5. Watch a Movie
After you had dinner and a few drinks it might be a good idea to watch a movie together over Zoom.
“I am not a huge Netflix and Chill guy but how about we watch a movie together?”
6. Try Challenges
It might be fun to make a challenge and see who completes it first.
Some examples of the challenges that you can do over Zoom are stare-offs, singing, and dancing.
Challenges are usually more fun after you had a few drinks and feel a little tipsy.
“Let’s find out who is a better singer”
“Let’s try a stare-off challenge and see who blinks first”

It can be a lot of fun eating together later and teasing each other about who is the better cook.
“How are your cooking skills? I have an easy recipe that we can try to follow over Zoom tonight and see who makes a better dish.”
9. Ask Flirty Questions to Get in a Mood
Try asking a few frisky questions to get to know your date on a more intimate level.
“What type of food turns you on?”
“Have you ever been to a clothing-optional beach?”
“Did you ever try skinny dipping?”
Here are the other 59 flirty questions you can try
10. Get Naughty
If things go really well and there is a lot of chemistry, it might be fun to take it to the next level by playing naughty games like Would You Rather, What am I Wearing, or Guess the Body Part.
“Let’s play the what am I wearing game. I will start. What color are my socks?”
11. Have a Bath Together
Finally, if you already asked a few dirty questions and played some naughty games, the next idea is to see if your date wants to relax even more by having a bubble bath together.
This can be extremely fun especially with a glass of wine to relax and let things go.
“It would be fun to sit in a bubble bath with a glass of wine. Do you want to do it? But no peeking :)”
