My bf and I have a long distance relationship, so we do a few dates on Zoom. We recently ordered the same meal from Pizza Hut, which arrived around the same time, set the table, set up our laptops and ate together. It really felt like we were together
Some other things we do:
Play online games together
Do quizzes together
If you both have Netflix, download “teleparty” - it allows you to stream Netflix shows and Disney+ at the same time
I would do this before doing the zoom thing, might get a little awkward/unnatural if it’s a first date. At least you get more of a vibe from someone in person and any awkward silences can be broken with “omg look at those magpies shagging!!!”
