The stakes surrounding meeting a guy in person are suddenly very high. You aren’t just asking yourself, “Well, do I have enough energy for this date?” or “Do I have time for this?” or “Can my heart handle another disappointment?” You’re also having to ask yourself, “Is this guy worth risking exposure to the virus for?”
Online dating can be a roller coaster of emotions. You’ll feel so hopeful about one guy—he seems so perfect that you think your search is over—and then you’ll be totally let down. This can happen five times a week with online dating, and can leave you emotionally exhausted.

People talk about their online dating profiles as if they’re discussing which haircut to get. People will even talk about online […]
The Internet was the greatest thing that ever happened to the lonely, the desperate, the socially awkward, the poorly adjusted, the needy, the controlling and the lazy.
Recently when I was hanging out with two of my most decent, honest (if I do say so myself) male friends I overheard them checking their online dating profiles.
