Here are a few red flags you should watch out for as you attempt to date in these chaotic times
The pandemic has been happening for about a year, and plenty of people have had to adjust to our new world — especially when it comes to dating. Gone are the days when you could casually go to a party and strike up a conversation with a stranger. Now, dating has some additional challenges associated with it.
But have no fear! I am here to lend a helpful hand and identify some COVID-19 dating red flags you should be aware of based on my extensive experience (this is a joke, I have been single since November 2019).
- They’re from Texas and recently got back from Cancun: this is probably Ted Cruz, so I would stay away if I were you.
- Their dating profile says COVID was caused by 5G: if you see this in someone’s bio, odds are they don’t abide by COVID guidelines very well.
- They go in for a hug on the first date: slow down there, you’re a total stranger and I haven’t even hugged my grandma in a year!
- Their profile picture shows them inside Nancy Pelosi’s office with their feet on the desk. RUN. This advice also applies if their picture shows them stealing a podium from the Capitol.
- They propose moving in together after the first date: we’ve all been lonely this year, but this seems a tad fast.
- They propose going to a movie for the first date: either they don’t know a pandemic is currently happening and all theatres have been closed for months or they plan on taking you to Australia. BUT, if they happen to be an Aussie, marry them so you can move to Australia and finally go to a concert again.
