Talking to Tinder match in quarantine
Q: What should you talk to your Tinder match about while in quarantine?
A: Of course you’re most likely going to talk about the coronavirus, but don’t make your whole conversation about it. What are your usual social activities and hobbies? What usually keeps you busy? What kind of things are you currently doing to occupy your time? All of these things are great ways to find out who your matches actually are.
Don’t share everything about yourself as soon as you match. If we are to be social distancing for months, you want to keep each other interested and eager to talk again. Take your time and enjoy getting to know new people. It will make it that much sweeter when you get to meet each other face to face. —
A: Although being quarantined doesn’t make your dating life any easier, the one advantage is having the opportunity to truly get to know other people on a deeper level. You want to have conversations about the topics that matter to you in everyday life, so that when our lives go back to normal, you have a good sense of who your Tinder matches are, what their lives are like and if you could potentially see yourself dating.
A great topic to start with is discussing what is most important to you, your interests and what you are passionate about.
People show you who they are with their responses. Pay attention to what people are saying and how they’re making you feel during your communication. Do you hear any red flags? Is the person holding your attention? Do you have things in common? Take this time now to evaluate your feelings and determine whether it’s worth continuing to invest time and energy in this person.
