August 18, 2021 - /PressAdvantage/ - UK based London X City is reaching out to discuss how feasible dating is during the pandemic. Given that the vast majority of people have had to be more careful about meeting in person for any reason in order to keep their loved ones, neighbours and themselves safe, the publication understands that pursuing a relationship has become much more difficult since the crisis began, even without lockdowns. However, they believe there is hope for those who want to connect with other people in a meaningful way.
As part of their outreach, London X City is encouraging their community to read ‘Safe Dating During Global Epidemics,’ an article that was published on their website last year. While a great deal of progress has been made in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic (in the form of vaccine deployment and so on), many of the tips shared here are still valid to this day — and could be important for some time to come.
“So, you met someone hot online recently, and now you would like to meet them in the flesh? That would be great, wouldn’t it? Despite the fact that it is okay to meet up, many people are holding back. They are worried that they are going to catch the virus and become seriously ill. But, if you play by the rules, there is no reason why you can’t meet up. Many people are already going out on first physical dates with others they have met online.” Notably, readers should remember that it was not uncommon to meet someone in person only after meeting online. Dating apps and other forums made such meetups fairly reasonable undertakings well before the pandemic caused interactions to shift more to the digital space. As such, some tips that applied to those circumstances may be valid for those who wish to date during the pandemic.
To begin dating in London now, the publication says, it is important to understand that planning ahead can make or break a date. Where meeting up for a casual coffee or drink was fairly easy before the pandemic, the need to maintain social bubbles for safety requires people to be more creative (and patient). For instance, London X City recommends that everyone wear a mask on their first date (though this may not be necessary if social distancing can be maintained). Given that the crisis is far from over, getting sick can delay a romance far more effectively than being unable to see each other’s faces.
Where social distancing is concerned, London X City acknowledges that deciding on an actual safe distance to maintain is tough, especially given the lack of clarity offered by official sources. However, many bars, pubs, restaurants and so on have also taken this into account, taking the initiative to accommodate their guests in a safe manner. In some cases, extra large tables may be provided in order to facilitate a comfortable date. The publication advises people to let the host know what they need when they arrive (or better yet, call ahead and ask about their policies).
Another factor that new couples need to consider is that a first date need not be in a restaurant or other location that they can generally expect to draw a crowd. London is a huge city with an excess of things to do and places to see, so getting creative can help here too. The article points out that many tourist spots have seen a huge drop in visitors during the pandemic, so a location that previously took hours of standing in a queue to get in may be quite peaceful and inviting today.
“Thanks to the coronavirus,” the article states, “this is a great time to see all of the things you always wanted to see in London. There are far fewer maddening crowds. How about meeting up for a tour of the Tower of London? Normally, you would have to stand in line for hours to get in, but now you don’t have to. Sadly, a lot of people never visit historic hotspots in London. They are often overcrowded and packed with tourists. Currently, the most popular sites run a lot of special offers.”
The one major precaution the publication advises the public to take is to avoid making plans to show physical affection. Kissing, for instance, is what many people would hope a successful first date would end in. However, this is not a wise idea at the moment. Instead, the publication says, “Wait until you have known each other for a couple of weeks. If you have not come down with the virus, it should be safe to kiss.”
