Socially distanced dates

The pandemic has hit us all hard…particularly those looking for love…in fact, 45% of us gave up on dating entirely during lockdown.

As restrictions have eased here in New York and across the country, more singles are ready to mingle!

Dating.com says 60% of singles are starting to ease back into the pool…socially distanced, of course.

What sorts of dates do single think are the safest?

  • Mini golf
  • A picnic in the park
  • A trip to a lake or the beach
  • Drive-in movies
  • Going on a hike
  • Bike rides
  • Gardening
  • Watching a livestreamed concert
  • Going on a mini road trip  

What dates would you add to the list?
