The Naked Truth | Post-pandemic dating tips to keep in mind – treat it like a job interview, dress for the occasion and try to have fun meeting a new person
- If you’re looking to ease back into dating post-Covid-19, there are a number of things you should keep in mind, says a Hong Kong-based relationship expert
- Think about what you expect from dating before you put yourself out there, she says, remember that first impressions make a real difference – and have fun
The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we relate to one another in so many ways. It made or broke relationships. Some couples rode out the pandemic and came out stronger; for others, the undue pressure of Covid-19 resulted in their relationships ending in break-up or divorce.
If you need some time to relearn how to flirt, socialise and date, relationship expert and certified hypnotherapist Valentina Tudose is here to help.
It may be a good idea to spend some time thinking about where you are – emotionally and mentally – and what you expect from dating before you put yourself out there again, Tudose says.
“If you are not sure what you are looking for and simply want to date for fun, meet new people and practise your dating skills, you can approach dating more like a fun game of self-discovery,” she says.
