It may feel like your dating life is majorly on hold during the Covid-19 pandemic. And you’re right- in many ways it is! Meeting a guy in person and spending time together is so important as you decide if you want to move forward. It’s okay to be bummed about pausing that part of the dating process.
However! You can still be proactive in your dating life in other ways.
The holidays are almost here! I love me some Thanksgiving- the food, family, thankfulness. The food. =) And don't even get me started on how much I love Christmas. Music, Advent, Jesus, presents! So many things to love. Oh, I almost forgot Christmas trees! Decorations! Twinkle lights! Love, love, love. Back when I was single, I enjoyed all those things, but there was also an extra amount of loneliness and sadness for me during the holiday season. Married life brings its own set of complexities to work through during the holidays (more on that another time), but generally speaking I am more content now in November and December than I was before I got married. My singleness felt heavier and harder when Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled around each year.
In my ongoing effort to make set ups more casual and common, I've decided to declare a monthly holiday- Set Up Saturday! Every second Saturday of the month (yay for alliteration), I'm going to pray and consider if I know any single friends I can introduce to one another. And if anyone comes to mind, I'm going to take simple steps to make it happen. Want to join me?
