Thanks to technology, it breaks the barriers of social distancing without compromising health and wellness in these trying times. Don’t be afraid to express your love and admiration online. Here’s how to swoon the apple of your eyes’ heart smoothly:

Curate a playlist

Most of the best and earnest feelings can be expressed beyond words, and one way of telling it directly is through songs. People say that music is a window to one’s soul, so dedicating songs and creating a playlist on music streaming apps such as Spotify or YouTube Music is the best way to show your feelings to someone online. All you need is a wide knowledge of music genre, subscription plan, smartphone or desktop, and WiFi connection. Pro tip: you can arrange the title of the songs according to the message that you want to convey in Spotify.

If you are blessed with creativity and have the hands of an artist, then this is the perfect time for you to impress the man or woman of your dreams. You may draw a traditional or digital portrait or any character that he/she likes, edit a 1-minute appreciation video with his/her photos, or even write a short poem about him/her. It’s better if you’ll do it by surprise and send the finished product via email or messaging apps to make it more personal.

Serenade him/her

Unleash the inner romantic in you by serenading your crush straight from your room. If you have a good singing voice and know your way to hit even the high notes, then you’re in for a short online concert. Just ask his/her favorite song, practice a little while, then message back if you can call him/her through the video conference app. Who knows, he/she might line up his/her song requests after your first attempt. Bonus points if you know how to play any musical instruments.

Play online games together

Gamers, this is your chance to bond with your crush. Whether through PC, consoles, or mobile, don’t be shy to invite him/her to play. Do note that you have to be playing the same game on the same platform to make the multiplayer mode work. There are a lot of multiplayer games that you can enjoy, especially for Android and iOS devices. For beginners, RPGs like Ragnarok M: Eternal Love and Marvel Super War are good stepping stones. Should you both want intense and fast-paced gameplay, FPS games should be your go-to titles.
