There are very few positive aspects of a pandemic, but if there’s one thing that the coronavirus health crisis has highlighted, it’s the importance of human connection.
And, that in times of crisis, we prioritise three things: toilet roll, pasta and dating. You might have thought that a deadly virus and most of the country being in self-isolation (apart from our hero key workers) would put a dent in dating lives, but it appears that COVID-19 has had the exact opposite effect.
Dating apps have all seen an increase in sign-ups and swiping – and people are actually talking, too (one of the most well-known aspects of online dating is that people swipe but don’t engage in conversations). (Text courtesy Metro)
