Welcome to EYESight’s new blog column called ! Lets face it, 2020 has been a rough year. It’s not easy sometimes wanting to go out with the dreamy person of your life on an idealized dreamboat fantasy. Am I the only one who whats that bourgeois Cap Cod retreat?
I’m sure when we found out when Covid-19 was condemned as an official pandemic, our minds instantly were plagued of failed dating opportunities. No close contact kissing, agreeable one night stands, holding hands in limos, (ugh, how frustrating the fantasies can be!) So how can we date in Covid seasons to come if the pandemic is to continue? No worries, here are some tips and advice.
Mobile dating, believe it or not, is a great way for social distancing yourself and practicing new ways to up your dating game. It is typically cliched dating online is for either creeps, over s*xualized innuendos, or - let’s face it - s*x, s*x, s*x, -nothing else. Well isn’t it a great time to lay off a little of the s*x? Especially if doctors are now warning us to mask up during s*x with also other things that we sometimes forget to wrap before unions. What utter nonsense, but somewhat trivial to keeping us safe. If we can just limit ourselves to one person per month - maybe our chances could get better. If you’re loving and attractive, sure, two people a month. Per week? Per day?
The point of this is not to tell you how to date during a virus carrying disease. It’s to humour and help us out in finding new ways to socially be acceptable amongst one another. Which leads us to our second way of coping through Covid. If you have someone, great! Safely ride bikes of safe distancing from others or watch Netflix with snacks safely delivered since that romantic date is cancelled at Bar Louies. The perks of eating inside to a dinner movie can last, saving you expensive drinks and hiking up that dinner check. Money and dating has interestedly decreased due to Covid and couples are dining and finding new ways to gather together without becoming sick.
Lastly and not least, use FaceTime and/or Zoom. Any device that allows you to see people and talk is amazingly twice as better than the usual bland text. Be daring to see and get to know who you want to really talk to before heading straight under the sheets to get the Co-V bug. No one what’s the Co-V bug or anything that keeps on giving.
Much love and blessings,
