    Furnishing a fake apartment

    I didn't see it on the forum (maybe I didn't search enough well enough), so I thought I'd share an idea I had a while back and that my GF and I just tried: "furnishing an apartment together". By this, I mean simply go to something like the Ikea website, or whatever sites that have large galleries of pictures of furnished apartment/houses in various styles, and comment on them on Skype: do you like it or not, what do you like about it, would you like the same furniture in your future home, do you like the colors, etc.

    It's great to learn about your SO's tastes and also brings up many subjects related to how you would live together eventually, what kind of apartment/house you would like, etc. My GF and I ended up concluding that we have matching styles (provided that she doesn't paint our future bedroom in green).

    An alternative: we also visited a website with castles for sales (there are a lot in Europe, France in particular), and did the same (do you like this one? why? why not? etc.). Now my GF is joking that I should give up my researcher job and go work for Google to make money and buy one of those. :-P

    Such a fabulous idea Sunmat I think it'd be a blast to sit with my man when
    we get to be together (he's attached to his new phone) and create a "virtual apartment"
    with each other. We've decided that we want to do some Virtual reality tours of London
    together as many of the attractions we'd like to visit are quite expensive, but we've
    found them online in a virtual format. We are discussing living together at some point,
    though he's wary of doing so right when I get to the UK (me, I have zero fear of living
    together then)...maybe this would ease some of his apprehension, and if not, it'd be fun
    anyway! Thanks for the GREAT idea!

        that does sound like fun. I also had used a web site before.. or maybe it was an app, where you could decorate a house. that is a great way to see whether or not your tastes clash

            ^^ This.
            We would play Sims and show each other our houses! We have very similar taste.
