I have been in a fully-functioning, grownup relationship for 20 months now – I know, I can’t believe it either! That is a fact that has definitely made lockdown life a little easier for me, so I can understand if this time has led to you considering getting a new partner.
You might think that being on lockdown and most social places being closed will make dating impossible, but there are definitely some alternative ways you can look for a new mate.
Online Dating
As someone who has done online dating, and found a partner that way it is something I would recommend. Online dating during this time certainly means the pressure is off because you couldn’t meet up even if you wanted to. This allows you to make the most of this time and really get to know someone before you take the plunge to meet.
Speed Dating
Websites like DateinaDash are a really fun way to meet someone too! Think speed dating, but from the comfort of your own home. If you have a look at the website you’ll see lots of different events taking place, so there should be something to suit you!
Pub Quizzes & Online Socialising
Local pubs are getting more adventurous and many have set up online quiz events. Why not join in with one and see how you get on? Not only will you have fun and pass the time answering questions, but you may find that someone you chat to on the quiz you spark with and you could start to get to know them better! You could even have a go at arranging your own and ask your friends to invite their friends, they could play matchmaker without even knowing!
What tips do you have for passing the time during lock-down?
