The corona crisis is not easy for anyone. Neither for politicians, nor for people with professions relevant to the system, nor for restaurateurs, tattoo artists, families, singles, etc. For anyone. While some nurses may now wish they could sit in the home office and keep an eye on what's going on, some people in the home office may feel useless and would do something to do more. While one or the other mom is probably longing for a little space for herself, a few singles will probably feel lonely during this time and would love to be close and contact – and the latter is about now!
Dating despite Corona? Tips for singles
First things first: Even if we have permission in Germany to be with someone who is not in our household, we advise "right dates", d. H. Meet in one and the same place, very clearly! Any contact with another person poses a higher risk of getting infected and transmitting the virus than no contact. In a few weeks to months, the spook will be over and we can date wildly through the area again. Until then, it is a good idea to try out other options. For example …
1. Online dating in general
If you've been out of school before and opened up your flirts in clubs and bars, now is a good opportunity to give ElitePartner, Tinder or Parship a chance. Create a beautiful, authentic profile, make yourself comfortable and off you go. If you've already been there, it's time to deepen contacts and relationships online, not sexually. Maybe someone will emerge from this crisis who gives you strength and is there for you? DMs on Twitter or Instagram could also be a way that now brings you further and closer to someone.
2. Virtual Dinner Date
You can't go out to eat together, but you can eat together – and check out other people's table manners via Skype, Facetime and Co. Maybe you lead each other through your apartments before or after? A virtual dinner also offers the opportunity to get to know each other and feel intimacy. And seeing how the date deals with such an exceptional situation can possibly reveal a lot about him.
3. Movie Night
Agree on a film, arrange a time and then make yourself comfortable on your respective sofas in your living room. You can text, send photos (e.g. of the popcorn bowl that is empty after 20 minutes) and so on and so on. Afterwards or the next day you can talk about the film and choose a new one for the next date – or not if the evening was a failure.
4. Attend a virtual live concert
Numerous artists currently offer online performances that you can join. From scooters to Max Giesinger to classic – there are offers for almost every taste. Museums also partially allow virtual visits and tours. Just talk about what you both like and what you would do under non-pandemic circumstances, and then research what goes on and online.
5. Cyber sex
If you really want to get down to business, you can also do this using the Internet. Some people swear by cyber sex anyway, so why not give it a try (you can find tips in our article)? After all, you can't get infected – neither with the corona virus nor with anything else.
