@alamogal635 Call/text a friend and make a date for a specific time, just like a coffee date. If you typically have coffee with more than one person, you can try a conference call - just make sure everyone knows who is initiating it. Make this a social event, trying to stay away from stressful topics. Make sure you have your favorite beverage at hand, as well as a treat if you like. If your household is a busy
one, close yourself in a room and make yourself unavailable for a time if you can (maybe trade this favor with a significant other or an older child). Sit down, call & chat. If you like video chats, do that. If you find it hard to start a non-covid conversation, or to keep one going, make a note of a topic or two of interest to both of you to steer things. Voila, a coffee date...or a tead date, a wine date, a beer break...
Or you could do like my kids used to, in pre-cell phone times, and watch a movie or TV show together by phone, commenting at commercials or pauses and rehashing it afterward.
What other ways can anyone suggest to interact remotely?
