There are already 2,921,571 coronavirus cases worldwide as of the writing. Amid the increasing number of people infected by the virus, the World Health Organization claims isolation and social distancing are still some of the best ways to keep oneself protected from it.
Without going outside your house, it seems almost impossible to meet new people and socialize with friends, which could make this isolation even harder and lonelier. But expert Lyndsey Wheeler, co-founder of Here/Now, a dating company that organizes singles' mixers, explain otherwise. According to her, there are already ways on how to socialize even without living your home.
"Humans are social creatures and during this period of physical isolation, people are looking for alternative ways to socialize", explains Wheeler. "Dating shouldn't have to stop just because we can't go out to bars or restaurant", she added. But how can one have a happy love life even while on isolation?
DOWNLOAD AND EXPLORE DATING APPS
Since you have to stay indoors most of the time for now, why not use the technology to meet your special person instead. Several dating apps are currently available on the internet, which you can try. As enumerated by Digital Trends, some of the best apps include Grindr, Hinge, Raya, Ship, Match, Plenty of Fish, and Happn.
Use these apps to search for the one with who you can be interested. Feel free to converse with that person and maximize the time you have this quarantine to get to know each other more.
SOCIALIZE AND BRIDGE THE GAP USING VIDEO CHAT APPS
Also, technology makes it possible for users to communicate with other people despite the distance through video calling. Though not physically present, using the app can enable you to converse with your friend as if you are in front of him. You can even spend time drinking some wine or even have dinner together by simply using your gadget and the internet.
You may also want to be creative in showing your affection and feelings. Create a good impression by writing a song and performing it, reading a poem, singing a song, or even playing an instrument while on a video call with your newly found friend. The choice is yours.
There are several apps you can use in video chatting with your special friend. Some of the apps you should check out, as enumerated by Tech Crunch, are FB Messenger, Skype, WhatsApp Messenger, Marco Polo, Hangouts, and Houseparty. Zoom and FaceTime are also excellent apps to use.
