Where and how to meet a man during quarantine

You can fight loneliness and organize dates even in conditions of severe restrictions. Psychologist Ekaterina Fedorova offers several ideas on where and how to meet a potential partner without risk to health.

Online dating

The safest way to find a new friend during quarantine is through specialized sites. During the epidemic, all services similar to Tinder and Badoo are experiencing a significant increase in active users. Many well-known resources have even canceled paid access to their sites before the end of the self-isolation regime.

The advantage of such platforms is that when registering, a man immediately indicates his physical data, interests and preferences. With their help, you can quickly determine whether it is suitable for communication or not. Cons – not all information in the questionnaire can be trusted.

For girls studying a foreign language, this is a great opportunity to combine business with pleasure. Acquaintance with a resident of another country will help you practice speaking, get to know his cultural and family traditions, values.

It is quite possible that online meetings during the epidemic will lead to a serious relationship. And the knowledge gained will be useful to you already in the status of a bride. Be active, take the initiative when meeting, do not wait to be noticed and appreciated. And then your chances of finding an interesting and suitable partner will be much higher.

Don’t limit yourself: the more friends you make, the more choices you’ll have! Before the end of quarantine, you still have time to figure out your likes and preferences. Do you want men on dating sites to remember you right away? Then make up a short, intriguing questionnaire for yourself.

The right beginning of communication is the key to its continuation. “Hello how are you?” – this phrase will not delight your interlocutor. It is better to write about what interested you, for example, about the details of the person’s biography that were indicated in the questionnaire, or with his photo.

If a possible partner has pictures from travels and countries that you also visited, then start the conversation with this: “Oh, you and I have similar interests! When was the last time you were in Bali? And give up banal compliments, on dating sites everyone has long been accustomed to them.

Discussing the effects of the pandemic immediately after the greeting will nullify any impression you have already made. Focus on things that both of you are interested in: hobbies, places to relax, preferences in movies and music.

And be careful: there are a lot of scammers and people with inappropriate behavior on the Internet, especially now. Therefore, correspondence with a new acquaintance should be converted into video calls as soon as possible. So you will make a more complete picture of the interlocutor and weed out those who do not fit.

Hobbies are the best reason to meet

Similar interests, hobbies, hobbies will help you start a conversation in a chat, interest a person, organize a first online date. In addition, they will become an occasion to continue contacts with a new acquaintance.

Think of favorite activities that you would like to talk about, and visit sites and forums that discuss such topics. For example, the social network LiveLib is ideal for those who love to read. There will definitely be a few people who are ready to keep in touch with you, among them there will be men.

You already know that activity and perseverance in this case are only welcome. First, chat correspondence, then an invitation to a video date, and further communication depends on your desire to continue it.

Another option: write 10 films that left a lasting impression on you. Psychologists say that this list will reveal much more about a person’s character than he himself is willing to admit.

Visit cinephile sites or online movie theaters and you will surely find a man who has a similar shortlist. Browse the general chat, where they exchange opinions and recommendations, find someone who has seen films you already know. Start a conversation, ask his opinion about the director’s idea, the acting.

This moment will be the starting point for starting communication on the Web. If the relationship develops, then the hobby will help you get closer even more.

Here are some popular chat-sharing viewing platforms:

• “Text chat Cinema without registration” – here you can communicate in a general and private conversation.
• “Videochat RU” is a chat for Russian-speaking users from Russia and the CIS countries. There is even a random interlocutor selection service, as well as video communication.

Movie discussions are also available in online cinemas such as Premier, TVzavr, Kinopoisk HD, ivi. For the duration of the quarantine, they completely removed or significantly reduced the cost of the subscription.

If you are gambling by nature, then online gaming sites will be an ideal place for the first meeting. Joint battles, the development of common strategies often become the basis for relationships. And the online game mode will allow you to understand how comfortable you are with this partner, without even leaving your own apartment.

You can try your luck on GameTree, a social network for gamers. SAMP or GTA Online are also suitable for communication. And in VR Chat, you can even upgrade your foreign language skills – people from all over the world gather here.

Romantic relationships at work

Many are forced to work during quarantine. Doctors, administrators, salespeople, cashiers, food delivery couriers – we go to our work post every day.

And it is to us that men who are so lacking in communication in conditions of isolation turn to us for help. This is a good opportunity to meet and start a new relationship. Use this chance. It is quite possible that a future partner will start visiting a pharmacy or a store just for the sake of one more meeting with you.

The same rule works in reverse as well. You may turn out to be a person in need of help, and a potential chosen one will come to your home as a courier or invited specialist.

To make an acquaintance, just a few words are enough, and you can fix it with a second call. This is the easiest way to check if you want to continue communication or if it’s time to stop it.

But do not forget about the main rule: we meet the guest in a mask and keep the necessary distance when talking. It is better to postpone the rendezvous with walks until restrictive measures are lifted.

Passionate dates in an epidemic

The self-isolation regime involves the rejection of personal contacts and meetings. What should girls with a stormy temperament do, for whom only romantic relationships are not enough? For such ardent natures, there are also special online dating sites. Here you can meet partners of interest and agree on passionate communication by phone or via video call.

There are also special couples applications for dating at a distance, which can be launched simultaneously with your partner from any gadgets. They exclude personal contact, while allowing both participants to receive the whole set of sensory sensations.

Many women need to be sure that the chosen one will support their sexual experiments in order to build relationships. Therefore, such applications and sites help to solve this issue without a threat to health, not only during the quarantine period.

Recommendations during a pandemic

Prolonged stay in conditions of self-isolation can cause a significant blow to the psychological state. Therefore, you should not refuse the opportunity to make new friends and acquaintances, especially if you suddenly feel lonely.

Meeting a man, even if it is just an online date, will cheer you up and give you positive emotions. This is a good way to take care of your mental health and possibly find a life partner.
