What's up, CreaTiffs?
Welcome to the Tiffy Show.
Today, I'll be talking about my opinion and thoughts on how I think dating will change
after quarantine.
So, if you haven't, make sure that you turn on notifications so that you know when I post a video.
I like to post about dating, travel, and everything in between so, if that's your jam, hit the
subscribe button, and let's get to it.
The world has changed, to say the least, and it's been pretty interesting and definitely
has put a damper on dating lives.
I know I've mentioned different ways that you can date and take it by the horns, but
I know that can also be a bit discouraging.
To know you might not have the dating life that you had before once this is all over.
I know my single friends had already thought dating was difficult before this all happened.
So, then with stay-at-home orders, it just became the impossible feat.
And as those stay-at-home orders continued to get pushed and pushed.
I have some feelings on how I think dating is going to change after all of this, not
so much negatively, just different.
With Summer coming, this is usually the time when people go out and meet a whole bunch
of new faces.
And go to pool parties and have their Summer road trips and so that is going to definitely change.
And it makes it a bit harder to meet people in real life or at the grocery store or anywhere
when there's a mask covering half of your face.
I think that we need to look at this positively, but also realistically.
This is how I think dating is going to change once quarantine is over and stay-at-home orders
are lifted.
Public places, bars, and restaurants are not going to look the same.
Because a lot of the social distancing rules that we have are going to still be in effect there.
That means less people at the restaurants and bars that you frequent, less people at
the public events, and less people for you to get to know.
So this is definitely going to change.
I need you to think of the possibility that you might be going to dinner and you might
be in a cubicle to eat dinner with your friends.
You aren't going to see the people as clearly as you would on a usual day.
And also you're going to a bar that's at less capacity.
You're going to not have the opportunity to meet as many people.
They've recently showed video and pictures of gyms in China and how they have barricades
up on all the treadmills.
I know that that looks really cool and it is really going to be great for social distancing
and staying your distance, but for dating, it does make it a little bit harder.
In terms of just meeting someone randomly and it's going to be weird walking up to someone
and saying hello because social distancing is going to put this like, "Whoa, man.
Whoa," even more so than we have now.
Like, "Why are you talking to me?
You do know that I could get the virus, you need to step back."
And so I know that there's a lot of women out there that are like, "Oh my God, but that's what I want.
I don't like when guys come up and talk to me, I hate that."
But then, those will be my same friends that are like, "I don't like dating apps.
I'm not going to get on a dating app.
I want that in-real-life kind of love."
And it's like, how do you win?
How am I going to win in this?
So I can't come up to you and I can't do a dating app?
You're going to be lonely, girl.
But this is a situation where there aren't going to be a lot of guys coming up to you
for sure in the future.
A, you're going to have a mask covering half of your face.
No one knows how the other person feels.
Some people are very strict on it.
"Do not touch my stuff.
Do not come up to me.
Do not talk to me," and some people are going to be more lenient.
And it's just going to be hard to tell who is who so people are just going to stay away.
As I've mentioned in previous videos, your best bet is going to be joining a dating app,
getting more secure online, and being more open to the possibility that you're going
to find someone through other means.
Work environments are going to change.
A lot of people meet their spouse at work. Yeah.
They meet the people at work and it seems comfortable.
I know so many people that have met their husband or wife through work.
That is because you are working with someone, you're getting to know them, you are on a
friendship level.
Work is one of the only places where you can still make friends after 25.
You get to know people, you see them every day, it's hard to not get feelings for them.
And now the work environment is definitely going to change.
A lot of places are realizing that they can have people work remotely.
So, for example, Twitter has already made it where most of their team is going to work
from home for the near future.
They're not going to come back to the office.
You're going to have less people at the office when you do work and your only means of communicating
will likely be video conferencing for a lot of important meetings and things like that.
Not so easy to flirt or see who's cute through video conferencing when your boss is the middle
picture of your Zoom.
Okay?
I just want you to think about the fact that work environments are going to change.
Therefore you meeting people at work or meeting people in the cafeteria or meeting someone
while you're walking to work is definitely going to be a little bit different.
Intimacy.
Let's get to it.
One-night-stands and kissing might be going down and I'm a little sad about that for y'all.
One-night-stands.
Obviously, there are always going to be people that break the rules, there are always going
to be people that don't give a boop and that's fine.
But it's going to be a lot harder, it's going to be a lot harder to find those people that
completely don't care if you're sick or not.
I think what's going to happen with one-night-stands in that regard is that they're not going to
disappear, it's just going to be a rotation of people that you already know.
That you've already had one-night-stands with before.
So that ability to go out and meet someone on Tinder that you don't know or go out to
the bar and meet someone you don't know and just have a one-night-stand with them, it's
going to get a lot harder.
One-night-stands aren't as easy to get all the time as people say.
So to have this added thing put on, the virus and stuff like that, it's definitely going
to diminish one-night-stands.
First date kissing is probably going to go down too.
I'd be interested to see how intimacy changes in all of this.
There's going to be a lot less kissing and making out and touching and everything on
the first few dates.
Which could be a positive, which I'll get into.
And to bring the whole one-night-stands being rotating people that you already know, social
circles, they're going to get smaller.
Social circles are going to be your friends and it's going to be small because you know
your friends, you know how serious or not serious that they're taking social distancing
or what's going on in the world, and you're going to hang out with them accordingly.
Because you know where they work, you know who they see all the time, you know how they're
handling things.
And the ability to invite a new person to that group might be a little bit hard because
you don't know them yet.
So you want to know how the virus has affected them, how they feel about it, what their rules
are on social distancing.
And again, even if you are not that strict on it, you don't know if the person that you're feeling is.
It's going to be this new wave of like, "How serious are you about this?
Have you been tested?
Have you been sick?"
And it's going to kind of change the dating pool to people just dating within their inner
circles or friends that they have within the inner circles or friends of friends.
Because it's just going to be a little bit more cautious in terms of new people.
People are worried about STDs, but people have learned to live with STDs and they've
got a lot of ways to live with it.
But people have not learned how to live with the virus yet so it's going to be like STDs
and virus.It's going to be, "Like you got this test, you got these tests, and I'm going
to need you to get this test.
And I don't even know what this test...
I don't even know all the symptoms...
I don't even know what's going on."
You're going to have caution when dating and touching and kissing and all of that.
You're going to even have first dates where you're six feet apart and don't be surprised
if that's the deal.
You're going to be six feet apart on that first meeting.
I'm not saying it's a guarantee, but I'm saying you might have dates when you meet people
on Tinder that are like, "Hey, I don't know how I feel about the virus, but I take it
very seriously so I will need you to wear a face shield and be six feet away from me
at all times during our date."
And you're probably going to get more than one person like that so I'm just preparing
you, okay guys?
I'm preparing you.
I know I said all that and I scared you, but there is a positive and the positive is there's
other ways of connecting to people.
Getting those connections that you need, because no matter what happens after all this, people
are still going to need connections.
They're going to eventually need physical touch and companionship and hugs.
You're going to need that eventually so that's not going to disappear.
How you get there is just going to be a little bit of a slower process, but you will get there.
And the benefit of that is that you can build stronger emotional attachments to people.
That give you relationships and that give you the long-term relationships that you want.
Because you're going to have a time where you have to get to know a person and trust
them and get to know them as best you can before you go on a date, before you get intimate,
before all of that.
It can be a positive that you're going to move from this and build stronger relationships.
And the dating and even if you have one-night-stands that you do have are going to be well-vetted.
And you're going to be very in control and very confident.
So that is what I have to say.
People will find a way, I don't want you to be discouraged.
That is just my opinion on dating.
It means nothing, it means all the articles that I read every single day on people's opinions
on where the travel industry is going to go, where life is going to go, no one knows.
I could have done a whole video on all of this and when this all lifts and social distancing
is over, I'm partying in Vegas like, "I don't know, what's going on," in a pool with like 20,000 people..
I don't even know, but I just wanted to put that out there, put my two-cents out there
and get you guys prepared for a possible future of dating.
