How to date while the world is ending:
​Stories from the front line


​Online dating is difficult enough as is. Add an international Pandemic and what could be worse? How do we keep the momentum of dating exciting and allow the positive aspects of our lives to continue --- in a less conventional and strange new way?!?!

As someone that has been dating on and off for years, I could write a book on the experiences, successes and insane failures I have been a part of in this crazy world of dating. Through my own creativity, research and other single friends, I wanted to help share some of the virtual date rules I've followed and some ideas that have paved the way for a third, fourth and even fifth date without having met in person.
