Talking is not enough

Hello,

my ldr boyfriend is just happy to talk. We message during day quite often, and we video call when we can.

Problem is here, I asked for dates many times, but so far we only watched some TV shows sometimes. I feel I need to share activities with him to be considered a date, not just video calls. I'd like to share a meal, do a virtual a tour or something similar, but he doesn't seems to understand it.

He just keep saying that it's difficult being ldr and will be easier when we are together. I feel that if we don't take care of our relationship, it will not last that long. We are able to spend maybe a week or two together, but later not seen eachother for a few months, so the ldr time can be long.

I feel we just talk, but we don't share any activities, either special or everyday one like cooking.

Should be video call be enough in a ldr relationship? Just sitting in two different rooms and talking for a couple of hours.

Any advice is welcome

Sorry for any mistake, English is not my first language
