Tips For Dating During Coronavirus

During a time where people shouldn’t be within 6 ft of each other, how does one date? Do you meet on a walking trail and stand 6 ft apart, no hugs, no contact? Having a 6ft radius date is a chemistry killer and even more awkward than a meet and greet with a stranger. 

The dating environment is going to change drastically after this pandemic. I feel it could be for the better through virtual connections. The initial stages of dating will become more efficient and safe. Also, many singles are feeling more alone during these times and realizing how looking for a 10 will keep them single forever. Many are becoming more serious about finding a “real” connection and actual relationship. This Pandemic is humbling and the realization of being alone is setting in.

How does dating during coronavirus differ from before quarantine? People are yearning for a connection more than ever and are hitting dating apps hard. Virtual Singles happy hours are another great way to meet. We’ve also created a new Virtual Dating experience https://mailchi.mp/c45d59674513/virtual-dating-experience that people love.

How are people safely meeting in person though? We’re going virtual! Phone calls and virtual video chats is the way of future dating. Think about it. No one has to worry about who picks up the tab, you only have to get dressed from the waste up which saves time getting ready, and you don’t have to worry about wasting 2-4 hours on a date just to find out there’s no chemistry. In addition, if your date doesn’t look like their pictures, you’ve wasted minimal time. Let’s face it…we all have a ton of time right now anyway. ;-)

Virtual Dating During Coronavirus Tips:

• You still have to show up looking your best on camera. I recommend using Facetime, Zoom and Skype. Dress well from the waste up, brush your teeth, do your hair, etc. Use a good light (easily bought on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/UBeesize-Ringlight-YouTube-Photography-Compatible/ ) to light your face. Use a computer, not cell phone, so the video isn’t bouncing around and you can really connect with the other person.

• Make sure your background isn’t a pig sty and detracting from you.

• If you jump on a phone call, make sure to stand, not sit. Also, smile on the call because it elevates the inflection and energy in your voice.

• You always want to be safe. You might want to get a free google voice account (https://voice.google.com). You can call and text from there. Without real world checks on a person dating during Coronavirus should be about safety first.
