Pandemic dating reminds me of how I fell for my fiancé. For singles seeking substance in modern dating culture, social distancing may be a blessing in disguise. (by jennabirch)

When I was writing mya few years ago, almost all the singles I interviewed that were seeking relationships had an obligatory, confusing relationship with dating apps. They'd experience the bad behaviors, get tired of the endless dates that led nowhere — or worse than nowhere, toward trauma — and delete all the apps from their phone.

I've been trying to find silver linings in this pandemic. For singles looking for substance in this dating culture, social distancing might just be a big ol' blessing in disguise.Social distancing — literal physical distancing — reminds you that developing an emotional bond in tandem with a physical connection is important. In a culture that practically encourages romantic defensiveness and throwing away anything that seems remotely flawed , I'd argue that it's critical.

We texted, chatted, and FaceTimed for two months before we met for the second date, in California. The anticipation was intoxicating. And also, I knew him. We'd invested a lot of time to get to that exciting moment where I stepped off a plane, ran through the airport, and found his car. I've been checking in with my long-term singles, my long-term app users, during the pandemic. One, a 36-year-old woman from Philadelphia, has experienced a lot of highs and lows while dating via app for many years. But during lockdown, she'd been on 12 FaceTime dates with a connection she met just before quarantine for the very first time. They've been keeping their distance, but she still calls this one "the most promising connection in a long time.
