Share a Meal
Share a Meal
Want to share a meal without breaking social distancing? Now you can! Here are a few ideas:
If you live near each other, offer to cook dinner for the other couple! You can drop it off outside their house without any contact before the date, and even surprise each other with what you’ve cooked.
If you live far away, consider ordering meals for delivery and sending them to each other! Set a budget limit and consider using local restaurants. Services like UberEats and Postmates can help you deliver food across the country.
For a budget option, plan ahead of time to cook the same meal as your friends. Here’s a fun one to try.
Make it a Game Night!

Pictionary:
Most video conference calls include a screen share option- which make them perfect for pictionary! Like charades, you can pick categories and take turns drawing and guessing.
