Want a little life hack for making your next virtual date better? Skip the part where you both start talking about the quarantine. Dating experts are all united in saying that dwelling over the crisis is going to take your date down a dark road that even the strongest chemistry can’t get out of.
“People are looking to date as an escape,” says dating coach Erika Ettin. “Not to remind them of the current state of the world.” If your match wanted all doom and gloom they would have just stayed on Facebook for the night.Plus, it’s boring.You know they’re watching Netflix and cooking because that’s what everyone is doing. Just skip to asking them about that instead of trotting out the same old“how's quarantine treating you?”or“how are you holding up?”
Also, just a reminder, you’re not a therapist. Are you really prepared for your date to drop an emotional bomb in your lap? It’s cool to ask some thought-provoking questions though, and in fact, dating coachJess McCann highly encourages them as a way to turn the attention away from quarantine. Then just stick to being positive. Keep things light, fun, and energetic, just like how you hope the future with this new boo will be.
