When I was in a long-distance relationship, my boyfriend and I would long for typical dates, like going out for ice cream or going for a walk together. But because of the distance, these simple dates were few and far between.

It was hard to stay in regular communication during the week and even harder to really get to know each other. We would instant message each other, text and sometimes talk on the phone at night, but I really missed being able to have that face-to-face contact.

Plus I wanted to get to know my boyfriend in other ways than talking on the phone. I wanted to know how he interacted when he was with his siblings or nieces and nephews. How did he act when he was volunteering? How did he respond when he was putting together a 1,000-piece bookshelf? Did he like playing card games? How did he handle big groups (like my big family?)

I was at a loss about getting to know these details without being in the same place as him. We made every effort to see each other, but what were we supposed to do in between each meeting?
