Ask Slashdot: Good Ideas For Creative Gaming With Girlfriend?

Posted by timothy on from the keep-it-clean-now dept.

First time accepted submitter TimBur1e6 writes "Suppose you had just moved 1000 miles away from your significant other, but you wanted to continue to create shared life experiences. You could text, or talk by voice, or even video chat. And those would all be good things to do. However, there's a difference between telling someone about your day, and actually spending time together. What are some fun and constructive ways of spending time together on the net? In particular, what are good things to do with a significant other who is less into combat, and more into collaboration, exploration, creativity, and storytelling?"

    Collaboration: Create an online dating profile. Have your old girlfriend write a recommendation on why you're worth dating.
    Exploration: Ask her to rate potential new girlfriends.
    Creativity: Date new girlfriend.
    Storytelling: Tell the old one about the new one.
    Combat: You did say she's not into combat, right? But, just in case, hide your batleth.

    Suppose you had just moved 1000 miles away from your significant other, but you wanted to continue to create shared life experiences.

    I'm sorry. I don't understand this sentence. Is this 'significant other' something that happens when I leave the basement? Can I get my mom to get one for me while she's out?
