How do you think Coronavirus has changed dating?

How important is touch in a relationship?

Coronavirus has forced single people to return to old ways of wooing. This means single people have to get to know each other much better before touching. Relationships may flourish in the future because of this. So, how has Coronavirus helped love?

When singles meet in person, they can feel obliged. Should I kiss him or her? What if they invite me back to their house?

Money is off the table, too. On an in-person date, singles must decide who pays: Should we meet in a cheap cafe or an expensive bar? Must I offer to split the bill?

Now singles are likely to share far more meaningful thoughts of fear and hope. Now they get to know each other faster than before through talking. Psychologists say that revealing our deeper feelings, attitudes and experiences increases loving closeness.. These things make couples’ relationships deeper and stronger.

There’s a long-term payoff to this current lockdown: It’s increasing the “getting to know you” process. A hundred years ago marriage was the beginning of a relationship. Coronavirus has changed things into ‘slow love.’
