Has your relationship been impacted in some way by the pandemic? Or has your approach to dating changed? Whether you are currently in a relationship or single, we want to hear from you.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began more than a year ago, many aspects of American life have been upended, causing people to find new ways to date or connect with their partners. Some have felt they were pushed into "turbo relationships" that moved faster than normal. Others have said they can't wait for summer to start dating and hooking up again. Some couples have grown closer while some singles have stopped ghosting.
Did you experience a break up - or put one off - because of quarantine? Did you rush a relationship milestone, like moving in together, because of the pandemic? Did the pandemic make you more financially dependent on your partner? Are you considering ending your relationship now that chances to meet new people are returning? Are you planning to date more than ever this summer after a year of limited opportunities?
We want to hear from people of all experiences and backgrounds. If you or someone you know would like to answer any of these questions, please reach out to us at kvlamis@insider.com.
