Some people have faced lockdown with friends. Some people have faced lockdown with children and their partners, but for some people they have faced it being isolated from everyone and everything.
Whether this is your single best friend who lives in a one bedroom house, or your widowed grandparent who lives alone with just her pets for company. No matter who you are, if you have faced lockdown alone then you may be feeling a little lost when it comes to socialising, dating and getting back out there.
This feature will help you feel encouraged, reassured and safe in getting back on the dating bandwagon and mixing with new and exciting people in a brand new way.
There are loads of free dating apps and websites that are actively speaking to single people, and helping them feel reassured that…YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You never have been and you never will be – not when we have a whole world to connect with through the power of online.
Lockdown has been hard, but it has opened up brand new concepts for dating such as virtual phone calls, virtual dining experiences, virtual pub quizzes and loads more. One I saw the other day, included a virtual wine tasting experience where both parties order the pack and schedule the date in their diary and then tune in for an hour and half of getting bladdered with one another – what’s not to love?!
Another site that is helping people to get to grips with the new concept of dating is matchmehappy.co.uk, which helps single people get to know people online safely before they even begin to arrange a date. Another perk to this is, online dating can be deemed as quite risky, as you don’t really know who you are speaking to. By arranging a virtual date first of all, you can speak to one another through the power of your phone’s camera or your computer webcam, and be rest assured that your 34 year old companion really is who they say they are.
I met my partner on a dating app, and after hundreds of messages backwards and forwards, I knew that I wanted to meet up with him and get to know him further. You can still do this, and the possibilities are endless as there are so many online events you can tune into together, or you can simply have a date night over Zoom, Facetime or Skype.
So please, don’t feel alone and if you know somebody that is struggling to get back out there and socialise, then help introduce them to some new apps, websites and even Facebook events have an online events tab now. So explore the internet and know that the world is forever adapting, and there may be some good that comes from this horrendous pandemic – a new concept of dating and having a good time.
