AgainstAllOdds1 Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) General topic with no personal background: how has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted your relationships? To get more specific: - If you were dating multiple people, did the pandemic make you choose the person you liked most due to limiting exposure to the virus? - If you are/were in a relationship that is fairly new (<1 year), did the crisis bring you closer together or drive you further apart? - If you're in a longer-term relationship where you are living with your partner (>1 year), is there such a thing as too much together time?

Married for some years, and I do think it's too much togetherness. I take "me" time reading or watching YouTube videos in the bedroom. 1

This crisis drove us further apart, mostly because we both had different views on how seriously we took the virus and it's consequences. 1
contel3 Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 It made me stop multidating. I stopped seeing anyone for several months and now Im seeing just one person. If it doesn't work out I'll take a break till I meet someone really promissing.

Haven't dated anyone due to covid. Been hard to keep in touch with others as well. 2
smackie9 Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Been together for decades....we can sit together in the same room and do our own thing. He streams his car shows on his lap top, I watch my crime documentaries on TV. I have an office where I do this, or gaming. We are lucky tho, we still go to work. Living in a decent size house with a big yard does have it's advantages too. If I was single today, I wouldn't bother with dating. Didn't date for a year and a half before to take a break and it didn't kill me to do it. 1

As long as we have to think about social distancing I don't feel comfortable to meet up with anyone. I was using Tinder but I deleted it since I'm not going on dates anyway. Restaurants and bars have opened up in my country, but I don't want to go out when there are all these rules we still have to follow... so this might be a dateless summer (year?) for me

I mean 2 metre social distancing on meeting Someone will get annoying. Same. I thought i was the only one. A lot of people where i live are not even following 2 metre rules, they're acting like everythings normal. 1

Bluesky00 Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Well, I’m definitely not going to clubs, meetup events, happy hour, bars this year. Where I could meet guys in real life instead of trash tinder. So far I’ve been hooking up with one guy and thank god he was covid free. Multi dating might be too risky now. 1

I had been seeing someone for 3-4 months when Coronavirus hit, with a bump or two along the way already. It brought us closer in some ways, amplified disagreements in other ways. I had to keep reminding him that we should spend some time apart, which we never did that well. We broke up recently and I'm pretty sure that's all she wrote. I have no plans to try dating again anytime soon. I always give myself plenty of time to get over a breakup so I don't drag any of it forward into the next relationship. So I'll be making the best of the solo life for the foreseeable future.
amaysngrace Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 I just want to get laid at this point in my life. Relationships are such a drag. 1
