Distance Dating In The Time Of Covid-19

Since a long time, we’ve been told to spend time with our partners so as to build intimacy and stay connected. Since long, we’ve been told to try out different activities with our partner so as to keep romantic the spark alive. Right now, all those relationships advise has become meaningless. Covid-19 has left us almost paralysed where conventional dating advice simply seems futile. The practice of social distancing has made it difficult to maintain the romantic bonds. It is imperative to not let our romantic bonds wane in the backdrop. Instead, we can actively find novel ways to interact and engage with our love interests.

Technology has its own way of bringing together two people. It is said that people tend to reveal more personal details about themselves via technology than in person. You can take this time out to appreciate and explore the privileges of technology. Technology offers interesting ways to keep connected to your romantic interests. You can play question and answer games to know your love interest better. These games can help bring closeness between you and your love interest. As they reveal more about themselves to you, it can even be a good ice breaker with someone you haven’t talked to a while now.

More so, you can take this time to know someone better before actually meeting them in person. Video calling feature in many dating apps and social media makes it easier to have a more personal interaction. Remember, even if you can’t meet your love interest at this point in time, you can still remain in touch with them digitally. In fact, being digitally connected makes more room for self-disclosure. Be an emotional support to them in this time of crises. Remember that one can be a caring and supportive person even from a distance.
