Now that we’re starting to slowly get toward a covid-normal way of life, has anyone else been struggling with getting back into socialising or dating?
It’s only been a few weeks in, but I’m finding socialising very overwhelming! Going from not seeing anyone at all for months and then being able to see even just one person make me pretty anxious. I try to avoid questions about what I did during lockdown or covid, because I didn’t really do anything during it. Does anyone else do this? Or do you feel comfortable talking about lockdown life?
One thing I’m enjoying about it is being able to go on dates with my partner again. We live together, but there’s something different about being able to go have brunch or dinner out at a cafe or something. It kind of feels like we’re at the start of our relationship again? Not that our ‘spark’ ever left, but it feels like that new-date spark feel.
Have you been on any dates post-lockdown? Do you find it hard to socialise? If you’re doing okay, what has helped you?
