It gives you a similar experience of being with your partner without actually being in a theatre in the same space. This is how <\/span><b>lockdown relationships <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are surviving (lol).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can see your partner, chat with them and still enjoy that movie. If you both have popcorn, then nothing like it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dating during lockdown <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was hard, but staying in touch was tough too for friends and everybody.

If you want to go the extra mile and hold hands, nicely put on one pair of gloves and hold hands. Don\u2019t go around holding hands casually without gloves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People may or may not find it a bit awkward to go on \u201cdates\u201d after the Lockdown is lifted or even when the Pandemic is over. <\/span><b>Virtual date ideas during lockdown <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are like the light at the end of the tunnel.
