But according to certain reports, there has been a sudden surge in dating app downloads. From Tinder, Bumble, Hinge to Happn, people are going all out when it comes to exploring.
It seems like single people are looking forward to some ‘stay at home’ romance. And why not? Quarantine seems to be the best time to finally dedicate time to finding your soulmate. Or at least try their hand at dating. Henceforth, are people are expecting dating apps to provide them companionship and a sense of comfort. But think about it once more. Wedding Affair tells you what all to keep in mind before dating during this global pandemic.
Meeting People Vs Texting
Virtual date nights might sound super fun. But meaningful relationship, particularly the initial phases of the relationship can’t be based on texting and video. Even while you are at home during this time, you’re moving in contrasting and diametrically opposite worlds. Working, doing chores, reading, exercising, calling friends etc. As a result, you are just as occupied as before. On a real physical date, you focus on each other totally. A one-on-one intimacy of a special face-to-face date is extremely crucial. Even if it is just a simple coffee date.
Pro tip for those who want to take their relationship to the next level post quarantine: It is extremely important that you take out time for each other not just now, but after this ends as well. This is undoubtedly the golden time to build something lasting as both the people involved have time.
Who Should Date At This Time?
Those who were in a good place both mentally and emotionally before this pandemic should definitely consider joining dating apps and try their hand at finding the love of their life. However, if an individual is prone to dating fatigue or dating burnout, quarantine should be used to recharge and not think about dating. This is probably the best time to recharge your energies.
And Those Who Shouldn’t Consider Dating At This Time
Those who are just getting bored and are mindlessly swiping left, right and centre, should at all costs take a break. Relax and focus on your self. Don’t use dating as an avoidant tactic at this point. Most of us are really stressed and fearful. As a result, we use online dating as an escape. Dedicate this time entirely to yourself. Hence, try to focuse on self-love and self-care. Try to understand yourself better. If you were tired and tensed, this is not the time to hit the dating market. You should be taking care of yourself and this is a time to recharge. Use this time to find out what actually makes you happy and pursue it wholeheartedly. And then come back all fresh and optimistic.
Takeaway
