How To: Long-Distance Date Night

1. Find someone to go on a date with.  In my case, my friend Jessica "asked me out."  We haven't talked since she visited me in March and decided we were due for girl time.

2. Pick a time.  We had to work around a two-hour time change.

3. Pick a movie that you can Netflix together.

4.  Dress up, make a drink (in my case, a Cosmo), sit on the couch, get the computer up and running.

5. Open a video chat and talk for a while.  Transition into the movie.

6. Turn off the video chat but keep an instant messager open while watching the movie simultaneously.  Then make comments such as "je suis d'accord" and "is this entire movie about the dinner party?" at opportune moments.  If one goes to the bathroom, make sure that both parties pause and restart at roughly the same time.

7.  You will not finish at the same time, but will be within a minute or two of each other.

8. Reopen your video chat and discuss.  It makes for better conversation if you drank your entire Cosmo during the movie.

9.  Say goodnight and make plans for another date!
