Are you single or in a relationship?

Ever since the pandemic, the number of "lonely women and men" has risen to the limit. There are more single people now compared to the days before Covid-19.

Prior to this dilemma, people were free to attend parties, have dates here and there, travel, etc. thus allow them to find the possible other half to become the love of their lives.

But now, that's not easy to do anymore. We all have to be careful of our decision and be always vigilant with our actions.

Is there still a chance to find love during these times? How?

Dating apps are still famous, young men and women, use different dating apps nowadays to meet people. But is it still worth it?

On dating apps, you’d exchange Hi’s and Hello’s, then exchange “lines” which means, you passed the first level and now on to the second level of the game, then finally, plan to have an “eyeball” or meeting in person.

Meeting new people, whom you have not met yet, but already have a relationship with is very thrilling, it’s exciting, BUT risky at the same time. All the more during this covid time, when you meet people, even your own family or friends is very risky.

So, is it worth doing it? Would take the risk of being infected with Covid-19 in search of the love of your life? Or would you be willing to wait until this pandemic is over?

I wish that we’d all surfaced victoriously in this battle! I can’t wait to go back to the “old normal” where we gather and have fun without the fear of getting infected by the virus.

But for now, along with those men and women who are waiting for their future sweethearts, I’d hide in the safety of my room while contemplating and asking the question: Where is the love?
