How to Find Love in the Time of COVID-19
1. Try a few online dating sites. When you find one for people over 50, go ahead and subscribe, you know, just for fun. This is new for you because you were married when online dating first became popular. 2. Immediately get freaked out by the wretched weirdness of judging potential partners by three blurry photos and answers to stupid questions like “How patient do you consider yourself?” — realize they’re all judging you the same way and disable your profile. 3. Reach out to one of your exes because you figure he’s safe, living two states away, and you might enjoy a little socially distant sexting or Skype sex. 4. When Mr. Two States Away doesn’t respond, embrace the shame spiral of having ceded the upper hand you had at the breakup over a year ago and decide you’ll never date again. 5.
