No one really knows how long this is going to last... But, one thing is for certain, we are social creatures by nature, we still NEED human connection.

I'm not saying go back out there and meet people every single day and risk getting sick or getting someone else sick. What I'm suggesting is adapting to the situation.

Now, more than ever before, if you're single and searching your only real option is online dating. So the first step is to have an AWESOME profile. If you want more tips about that just message me.

Next, from the people you are meeting why not have a facetime/skype or a zoom date?

Sure it's not ideal, but it's all most people can really do without any risks.

Chat with someone you've matched with for a while, then suggest a zoom date.

Make it more official by scheduling a date with a google calendar invite for this to happen.

Ideas for zoom dates?

Date 1: You can have a wine/coffee date where you just chat and get to know each other.

Date 2,3,4 etc: Cooking night where you both create the same meal over the call, share screen netflix movie night, drinking games (never have I ever etc), beer flight or wine tasting, just keep it fun and different each time.

Try to end the date before it gets boring for both of you, leave there to be a little longing for it to have gone on a little longer so that they want to set up another one in the future.

Is this ideal?

Nope. Not at all.

But it's all most can do right now, so why not adapt?

This will do 2 things:

1.) You're getting your social needs met.

2.) You're building an awesome connection with someone so when all this is over, you've spent. a good amount of time getting to know someone and then when you do finally meet it'll be easier to continue things physically.

If your area isn't that bad and you want to meet up?

Thats your decision.

But if you're still locked down pretty bad? This is a great way to make the most of your time so that when this ends, you've at least built something with someone.

Hope this helps.
