Question: How do I date online during covid post vaccination?

Dear Betty,

How do I date online during covid post vaccination?

That is a great question.  The online dating terrain has been forever changed. In many ways for the good. This is the Best Time to engage and meet new people and enjoy yourself in the process.

I’ve observed/noticed . . .

The isolation of covid gave people the opportunity to prioritize things in their likes and being in a relationship rose to the top. Past- extra work, friends, family, hobbies all took a back seat to the realization of the importance of being partnered.

It allowed time to get clear about what they are looking for in a partner and being more upfront about what they are seeking.  Criteria such as personal growth and similar core values has replaced height and income.

Here are a few tips that will help you navigate the new arena:

  • Take your time – Many people are rusty from the break and learning new ways to connect as well.
  • Many dating sites offer a badge stating “I’m Vaccinated”
  • Talk to a potential partner before meeting in person. Via the phone or video.  Ask them about their feelings of masks, physical touch/ social distancing, vaccinations to determine if you want to meet them in person.  Of course, notice their energy and your response to it.  Is there chemistry?
  • If/when you decide to meet in person be honest, transparent, and present.  Be interested and curious about your date.  No need to razzle dazzle them and steal the show.
  • Actively listen and ask open ended questions.
  • Check in with yourself.  How am I feeling?  What am I feeling?  Do I like them?
  • Have an exit strategy – meeting a friend later, a scheduled family call, I need to walk my turtle – ok, not the last one 😊
  • Always use your good manners and thank them for the time together.  If you want to see them again.  Say it.

Wishing you love and blessings,

Betty walked the path with me in such a way that I found someone amazing!

In a world saturated with online dating and connections that just seem ingenious, I had given up hope. I craved human connection that didn’t involve a screen and knew that I had a lot of love to give.

Finding that person was an uphill battle, but Betty made me feel as though I was not alone. She helped me believe in myself and walked the path with me in such a way that I found someone amazing… and learned more about myself in the process. In my eyes, that’s a double win! – Bruce W, Nashville TN

Betty helped me to regain my authenticity and confidence

I was down-right desperate to find love. I was looking in all the wrong places and found my emotions to be all over the place every time I went on a date. I felt disappointed and hopeless.

Betty helped me to regain my authenticity and confidence. She didn’t just help me to find a partner, but also helped me to navigate my emotions, and realize that it takes two to tango. I had to be the best version of myself to meet someone, and Betty did that for me. – Amanda S, New Orleans LA
