Is It A Good Idea To Online Date During A Pandemic?


Perhaps you’re CRAVING connection and maybe you’re feeling that you may miss out on the romantic love you desire.


If you’re like most of the women I connect with daily, you may have a DEEP fear in your heart that you may never experience love again.


This fear existed BEFORE the pandemic and now with all the physical distancing and quarantining going on for some time, that fear has been exacerbated.  


The fear that you will die alone without ever having another loving relationship with a Total-Package man who adores, loves and cherishes you.


The true Love of Your Life.


Plus, let’s be REAL here.


You’re tired of “self-pleasuring” alone.


Am I right? You’ve done that so many times and you are SO freaking ready and want the real thing.



You want a man!


A REAL live in-the-flesh man!


It’s been loooong enough and you’re not sure how much longer you can wait.


So, yes, OWN it!


You want the cuddling, hand-holding, AND the deeper physical and heart connection.


So, what should you as a savvy, big-hearted, hot-blooded and sensible woman do?


Should you wait out the pandemic OR should you dive into online dating now to find your Total-Package man?


Only you can decide if you’re willing.


And, no, you won’t have to online date forever.


But if you’re here reading this, I believe that you probably are willing.


Or you’re getting close.


There’s no reason you shouldn’t online date from the comfort of your own home.



When you date with a plan and your heart open to the risks that anyone who desires love must face, you’ll find the Love of Your Life.


If you’re not ready to date now, you could miss out on love if you’re waiting for the perfect time or to feel a certain way.


I suggest that you look inwards and see why that is.


 I want you to see how much opportunity there is for love BECAUSE of this situation.


Did you know that there is a large surge of people online dating now?


Gazillions of men and women have decided to try online dating during the Covid 19 pandemic.


EVERY single day there are new men registering on the sites/apps.


The reason for the surge is that people have more time now to dedicate themselves to finding love, especially those who live alone.


Spending lots of time in solitude at home has caused many men to feel lonely.


Also the realization that there is no end in site for the pandemic to end soon, has many of them questioning the importance of love and relationships.


More than ever before.


This is GOOD news for you.



 With online dating, you can pace yourself in a way that feels good to YOU.


Only meet those men in person when the time is right for YOU.



Those men you deem worthy of meeting AFTER they’ve earned your trust.


I say earn your trust, but I mean that you should feel a reasonable sense of trust before meeting them in person.

You can online date in the way YOU want with your guidelines and boundaries.


There’s NO reason to settle, even if you’re feeling lonely.


You get to create your very own red velvet rope policy for interacting with men.


For example, a man who has been consistent with communicating with you, has shown no red flags and with whom you feel emotionally safe, MAY be a serious contender for a face-to-face meet up.


That decision is yours to make.


The willingness to be creative and flexible are KEY when dating during a pandemic.


 It takes time to trust an unfamiliar man and you can’t trust someone based on what you see online and in video-chat.


BUT here’s the thing - if you want love, you must take that risk regardless of where and how you meet.


Video chatting is a great way to get a sense of a man and decide from there what your next step will be.


This mode of communication is here to stay.


While some women may feel apprehensive about chatting with new men, I promise that you CAN get comfortable with it fairly quickly.


You must connect with several men online and NOT get laser-focused on any of them.


Some will fall away; some won’t be right for you AND you’ll keep going because eventually you will find your match.


 Then you won’t need to open your goody drawer as often😊
