The new dating “normal”

Singles who have been sheltering in place are ready to get out and meet each other again.

Mashable says that 80% of Bumble users are ready to replace “virtual dates” with actual ones…even though 44% of them aren’t sure if they should right now.

A big reason is that now that they’ve gone through quarantine on their own, they’d like to have someone to hunker down with if there’s a second wave.

They’re also getting creative on how to meet someone new.

The New York Post reports that singles are adding their coronavirus antibody test results to their online dating profiles.

And if it’s been a while since you’ve been “on the market”, Science Direct lists the 47 (?) traits of effective flirting.

The #1 trait? A good sense of humor.
