Add friends for some spice
Me and my friends, each of us got that app launching at Windows startup. Every time we turn on our computers at the same time, we see each other frosted through the virtual glass. Then we talk or remain frosted in the background.
Anyhoo, to answer OPs question -- we live 10 minutes outside our town, and my kids play video games together with their friends. Sometimes via in-game chat, but just as often by playing a game on the same server and calling each other on the phone.
Personally, I'm still old-school. I call my friends and family on the phone and talk to them.

Just be transparent. If anything it might provoke further interest and discussion too.
