We believe in the power of opportunity, bringing singles together and being a part of their love story. So, let’s be honest, COVID-19 is dramatically disrupting the way that we live, interact and also date. Which means that in this pandemic the landscape of dating is changing rapidly.

Health and safety are priority one!  That said, let’s talk about smart ways to set you up for dating success for when distancing is a thing of the past. Since social distancing is the new trend, it doesn’t mean you need to come to a complete halt - as on any new path, there are opportunities. 

While finding other ways to safely engage with people, take this time for self-reflection and self-growth.  It is a perfect opportunity to discover or re-evaluate exactly what you want in a relationship and a partner. Practice self-love and make a shift in your love life; change the dynamic and think of this time of new beginning for you to create an optimal dating experience for yourself.

Not sure where to begin, here’s a couple of tips to start on your personal journey from our matchmaking team.
