Dating… while social distancing?!

At Hits Radio South Yorkshire Dating, we’d have never thought that online dating would suddenly become the only way to date!

As were all social distancing, it’s meant that dating has had to evolve and make people think outside the box. There’s some great stories out there - like Cilla, who’s date transferred her £15 to get a bottle of wine to enjoy while they had a facetime date. Pretty genius if you ask us! He’s definitely a keeper.

While many of us have lots of time on our hands now, it’s the time to get to really get to know someone now before going out. Which is great because you can decide if they’re worth putting on that new little black dress for and sacrificing a Saturday for date night when things return to normal.

Whether you’ve been with us for a long time or are new to Hits Radio South Yorkshire Dating, this is a great place to make a connection. Start chatting and find someone who makes you grin from ear to ear. That someone that you just cannot wait to meet. Now this is a bit tricky since now we are social distancing and staying at home. But there are new ways to get to know someone, arrange a virtual date using Facetime, Skype, Zoom, - even House Party if you want your friends approval (or to speed date a few!).

Get creative with your virtual dates; try iMessage games or games you can play against each other like Quiz Nuts and challenge them for a bit of fun. Enjoy a virtual Netflix party where you can watch a film together or even order a takeaway to each other’s homes.

It’s in times like these that we can adapt and find new ways to get to know someone. We’re all in the same boat! And if you are single and living alone, just chatting to someone online can really help lift your spirits.

So even though this is a very difficult time, you can still enjoy dating, and when it is safe to do so, you’ll be more than ready to get that first date, butterflies in the belly feeling. The chances are that by that time, you’ll feel like you’ve known them forever… who knows, this could be the time that you find the one…
